was never gonna be hitting enough to overturn it. both spinners bowling nicely together though, can sniff a wicket around the corner

Mendis goes bang and brings up his hundred with a 6. well batted, now bugger off!

4, 7, 0, 103*, 9, 17*

Geez, if this guy keeps the runs ticking Aus could really be in trouble...

Having said that, surely they'll need 150 more at least to look like a winning total to defend

no doubt about that. anything over 150 will be tough, considering we can't play spin. got a feeling it's gonna be 200+. gonna need Smiddy to ton up

What was the point in selecting Marsh if he wasn't going to bowl?

No way his batting justifies a 6 position alone.

Completely agree. And his bowling has actually been quite good of late, but batting still not good enough in tests.

Agreee. He'd be a good number 8, not much more than that.

fuuuuuuuck

Bill Manspeaker · July 28, 2016, 07:27:30 PM

it's times like this you just think... this partnership should've been over ages ago. can't remember who it was but he was plumb... no review... then we decided to review one not long after which pitched outside leg

cricket can be damn frustrating
