Yep we can't give them too much of a sniff, as we have seen, they bat a long way and chasing 350 on this pitch is certainly not an impossible task

I don't think it will deteriorate all that much from here, it still looks like a great pitch to be out there batting on. See what happens today though, i might be wrong

pitch has held together really well. MCG every now and then does produce some flat pitches.
other venues have improved in Aus with a lot more bowler friendly wickets

hopefully batting gets a bit easier after lunch. need to accelerate the run rate to get to 350 plus before end of the day

Unless Marsh bowls at least 10 overs, and bearing in mind his current form with the bat, he must be the next player on the chopping block to be replaced.

The number six spot will be of big importance on spinning pitches as whoever is in that spot will have to be the third seamer, with the likelihood of two spinners being picked in Sri Lanka and a quick bowler rotated out.

Marsh has to be skating on thin ice at present.
Marsh is a terrible player of spin, too. If we take him to Sri Lankan we’re not right in the head.

It's a terrible look that in your own backyard that an opposition team has more support. Thanks Albo.

could replace marsh with Maxwell for the Sri Lanka test series.
Not the worst idea. Maxwell’s only test hundred was in India. Not 100% sure of the venue, but I think it was Indore.
