Aus in India

Posted by Parra fan on The Hill on February 23, 2017 at 8:17pm

After a promising start, the wheels are coming off.

Always 1 ball away from a collapse in the sub-continent. Been the story for many years ever since we won their last time.

Embarrassing to say the least.

LOL I was just about to post a similar blog re the cricket!
Very brash considering the footy kicks off in 1 week.
It's not embarrassing yet? It may turn out to be, but the wicket is already spinning like a fifth day pitch. I have a feeling the Indians will bat far better than us although it's on a very difficult pitch, but who knows? Maybe Starc and Hazel can do the damage? If they can't, we are screwed!

They're saying 285 would be a good score?

  285 is decent for the 2nd innings but not the 1st. Especially against India in India.

Renshaw.... Solid as a rock. Sick but giving his all. This kid should open for us for the next 15 years.
Mitchell Marsh... It's good to be swampys kid isn't it?

  MM is no better than Faulkner. He's failed time and time again but nepotism rules. We don't need another all-rounder but a batsman in the team. 4 bowlers and 2 part timers like Smith and Warner would have sufficed instead of a guy who scores 20 and picks up 1 wicket.

  He must be playing with adult dipers. Kudos to Matt.
  
  Having the sh*t's in hot humid weather is a nightmare. Maybe we should install a port-a-loo for between overs breaks right on the fence.

Wade is absolute garbage with the bat, hes gotta go, so does marsh.

  I agree. If Hanscombe can keep then he is not needed. His batting is average at best.
  
  I would have a thought that someone like Vic's Travis Dean who can bat long would have been an option for our batting.

  He's not much better with the gloves either.

Younger team but how do both Marsh brothers get the nod..? I am no expert but look at S Marsh state stats. V brittle, and lets not mention Wade who got in for P Neville....I don't get the serlections. India always hard to beat but some of the above mentioned have poor foot movement, besides Renshaw and Handscombe.
