He took 2-114 with the ball across 31.1 overs.

Why the hell is he in the team?

Because selection is a f**king joke.

We are a f**king absolute rabble at the moment, it's embrassing.

Starcy has been the only positive, so glad he's back bowling well and taking bags of wickets.

Cause he plays for NSW


Correct weight. He's a Mark Ealham cricketer, a bitser.

Conditions must be easy if Marsh is making runs. Tennis ball on concrete comes to mind

Geez some of you blokes a harsh!
The same blokes who said Smith was never a test player.
I know i know...its a forum...everyone gets an opinion.
Just make it a little balanced.
Constantly bagging selection and individuals is boring.
Sometimes doing the above stimulates conversation.
Oh and until this series we were top.

If that is directed at me, I will never understand the Marsh selection no matter how many runs he make but I have never questioned Steve Smith selection. Marsh gas had more "chances" than any other player simply because of who he knows not on his performance


Henriques didn't deserve his spot and now out for 4
