Did anyone else think Marcus nearly stuffed up the Braithwaite catch ?
Caught it then threw it up straight away and it landed on the turf
Should Braithwaite had held his ground ?

No, but Marnus probably would have if he was batting instead of fielding.

I noticed that. I think he threw it with more control than Herschell Gibbs 1999 so I think it was still out.

Not sure how he is still in TBH.
Hope he can see it out and start fresh tomorrow


Same would love to see Green become the player his potential offers

Kind of looks like he might become a frontline bowler who bats at 8.

Alternatively if they are set on having him in (I think it’s pretty fair given his bowling is a massive asset) could he bat at 7 with everyone going up one spot. Essentially he plays as the all rounder, Marsh currently justifies his place as a pure batter and even if it slightly dips realistically who comes in at 5/6 and peforms better anyway.

Pitch still playing well, no movement off the pitch or in the air

Aussies look very comfortable

Head producing some Ajit Agarkar type numbers this summer.

Has had a couple of good innings but will really want to some find that consistency especially his well publicised post World Cup celebrations :D
