Surely the standard of shield cricket is at an all time low if the dumber Marsh is making a ton?
Geez even Maxwell made a double ton!

You can only go by what we know

Cummins and Lyon were our best bowlers
Marsh has been our second best bats

Have to say one innings the selectors have got those choices right

We still have the " best number 6 batsman in Australia " to come! Jesus Mark Waugh is a dickhead.

Stokes should be jailed for life according to Aust media.

Warner v Root, Ponting v a Tranny, Ponting sporting a black eye, M Waugh v a horse trainer

Do we need anymore examples

The pitch is ******* slow, tennis ball bounce, very hard to score on

Didn't seem to bother the Poms. They were 1 for 143 at one stage. What are we now?? 4 for 86. If what you say is true. Explain to me how the England batters succeeded and ours are failing??

Allow me Daisy,

because they were patient, batted to a plan and to the conditions. Of those POMS that got in they made sure they went on with it to an extent.

They didn't try to force the pace and bat aggressively, they batted as if it was a test match. They batted with their heads.


How dare you talk sense. Some people don't get Test Cricket.
