Bog out of the side with a abscess on his arse. Short comes into the side.

SA didn't need that.

Good outcome.

2 softcock lefties gone already for Aus.

It's gonna be a very lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng summer.

Finch gunned but doesn't review. Going over. Clearly didn't want to be there.

3-8.

Looks like another all out for under 100 effort coming up.

Good decision to Paywall this from most of Australia.

It's like Channel 9 never went away. Lots of guffawing and other weird noise being generated in the comm box. A couple of shots off the middle and commentators agree the batsman looking good for a 100. Love it.

Very poor cricket from NoShow and Stainis when some discipline was required.

And now a run out.

The Perth punters will be well pleased that they stayed away in droves.

A SAffer whitewash coming up.

The only thing missing is the Benny Hill music.

Not a great SA batting line up

A-a-a-a-a-abject display from this pitiful side.

Shocking batting, brisk start from SA.

Shaun Marsh surgery on a buttock abscess - what next for him? He's accident prone.

Which was which,?

It's going to be a looonnnggggg summer. 

That said, the 4K channel on Foxtel is amazing.

Shit-on-a-stick display by this dud side.

Well done to the SAffers.

Did the crowd burn down the new cbnlg grandstand.

So by my count since he started we have won one match v UAE.

Oz was only missing Seasick and gcspoc from presumably it's best jamodi xi. In Starc and Cummins, it has two very good bowlers. QDenial and Haze are average at worst.

The Stain is a fair all rounder and Fink, No-show and Lynn are fair players. This team was not competitive, nor was it v the Poms or Stan's.

Early days but cbnlg is building an impressive record.

Well, that was a JAMITT.

In the last 12 months in ODIs we snuck one v the Poms at Adelaide by the skin of our teeth (Poms made 196 and we passed that score 7 down on Australia Day 2018).

Other than that it has been Bupkis.

McDermott added to squad as cover for Marsh

Our problems are solved

"MITCH Marsh is confident he’s pinpointed the source of his recent batting woes and is well prepared to face India this summer.

The newly-appointed vice-captain returned from the UAE last month having made just 30 runs (at 7.50) in the two Test series against Pakistan. He’s averaged 17.16 in Test cricket since March.

But the all-rounder has found some form playing in the Sheffield Shield, making 151 for Western Australia against Queensland on Monday.

Marsh said the big score came after doing some homework on his batting technique in the UAE.

“I feel like I’m batting really well. I came home and looked at a lot of footage from the UAE and tinkered with a few things,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

When discussing what he learnt from reviewing the footage, he said: “I sort of lost a bit of my intent, which for me is really important.

“My eyes weren’t quite level at the point of release ... I tend to fall over at times and get hit on the pad which we saw."

Translation- he’s an FTB and he needed a flat pitch and a shit attack to face. His game is purely designed to be successful on flat Australian pitches against the kookaburra ball.

Put him up against a bit of spin, swing, or seam movement, and he looks like a number 10.

Nice to see the Carrion Crow of the Forum pop by for his Captain Nobvious comments.

Ah, the irony.
