    Edit: Just watched some videos of him in action - If Australia signed this bloke we'd probably start winning shit again.

    funny part is, Kohli would prob fail Australias new 'character test' and not make the team.

    he prob isnt 'elite honesty' enough

    I rarely watch cricket, but watched Sunday night. He was great to watch, just making it look so easy. Meanwhile our batters couldn't even manage hitting a single six.
    OK

    So serious question before Kohli and co embarass us the next 5 to 6 weeks

    How bad is Aussie Cricket actually going when we have to name Tim Paine as the Test ****ing captain??

    FFS he was not even first in line to the wicket keeping gig when Haddin gave up the gig

    We had 2 blokes fail at it before he got a run

    Their new broadcast partner just sent out an email to loyal viewers listing Mitch Marsh in the batting line up.


    except he's been dropped.

    How was he even selected is a more pressing question that needs answering

    If India are good for 200 then we might not get to triple digits

    Indian bowlers have been superb.

    Yeah we havent picked him

    Reality is some serious questions have to be asked of the Aussie selectors

    Why are we not identifying blokes who can play Test Cricket and actually backing them ??

    It is constantly chopping and changing the side with many blokes getting selected where you have to ask WTF for,??

    Finch is 32 and has a First Class average of 36
    Why pick him ?? He only a short term option at the best

    Where is Renshaw??

    The bloke actually lets the ball go and makes the bowlers bowl to him and is happy to occupy the crease

    Why are we not taking our medicine and just building for long term??

    We are in a hole and have been for 6/8 years with no actual plan to get back on top

    whoo boy, did you see the shot that Marsh got out on?
    was even worse than Finchs.

    we do have 3 decent quicks that will at least give us a chance (at home).
    but the batting order has been a joke for ages.
    Agree with your thoughts on Renshaw.

    Usman and Handscomb both have decent enough test cricket techniques.
    get the rest of those jokers the hell outta there.

    just to re-up here.
    getting done by a bowler wearing sunnies is pretty much the highest level of disrespect a batsman can endure.

    if Marsh had any sort of honour he'd just retire now.

    Getting done by a bowler wearing a hat is right up there with a bowler wearing sunnies as far as I am concerned

    Your right

    With 3 decent quicks and a handy spinnet we are always gonna be competitive on home soil and a chance away

    Problem is when we have a weak batting line up and the ****ers selecting it dont seem to have any plan to rectify it in the medium to long term

    Once our golden generation of Hayden Langer Gilly and co left us we bludged off Punter until he got too old. Then we bludged off Clarke til he got to old then we bludged off Smith until he got sand papered

    In the mean time we have done very little to find the guys to bat around them

    Khawaja they shat on several times
    Renshaw they shat on
    Ashton Agar they shat on
    Even Phil Hughes despite his iffy technique being an eye player they shat on him too

    Instead of picking these blokes through thick and thin for 3 to 4 years with a plan in place and backing them they chop and change for short term series success or a couple of loiw scores

    Shaun Marsh on the other hand has 21 scores below 4 in 62 Test Innings and they back to the hilt

    PS Dont get me started on the cunce giving Maxwell a baggy green
