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

And so say all of us.

How does that make him any different from any Oz batsman of the last .....(insert your time frame here)?

If Marcus Stoinis was actually called Mitch Marsh and vice versa, you wonder how many tests the former would have played for Australia by now.

How many Australian middle order batsmen with over 30 Tests experience have a batting average in the mid 20s like Mitch Marsh?

Positions 3 to 6:

MR Marsh - 30 Tests Av 26.08
G Giffen - 30 Tests Av 23.42
MA Noble - 34 Tests Av 29.54
SE Gregory - 46 Tests Av 27.22

I wouldn't put Puddle in the allrounder class of the other 3.

Good to see a Saffie scoring a ton for England again

Wrong thread

So, another thumping in the offing for Aus today. Sigh.

I'd be happy with competitive. We have been so lame of late.

Thanks Skully. I'd also add the other three did not bat on autobahns.

I just got 2.32 on Saf to win the match!

by skully Fri 09 Nov 2018, 03:25

Jayzus, is that bookie on drugs??

by skully Fri 09 Nov 2018, 03:26

SAf insert Aus.

As always, not enough Head.

by skully Fri 09 Nov 2018, 04:14

Bog gawn. 2-66

Why don't they check to see if that was hitting the stumps? The Saffies retain their review because it was umpire's call on striking outside the off stump but if it was going over the top, surely they would lose the review.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Finch now gone.

We'll be lucky to get 250, which the SAffers will get in 35.

You might want to revise that down a bit.

Stoinis and Maxwell out to predictable shitty shots.

Farked if i know why Stoinis keeps getting selected. He's only made one score in ODI's & that was over a year ago.

by skully Fri 09 Nov 2018, 06:11

NoShow & NoShow 2 are weak as piss.

by JGK Fri 09 Nov 2018, 06:15

When do we start pointing the finger at the NLWL for this shiteness?

Lack of talent is one thing, lack of brains when it comes to dismissals reflects on the coach.

the coach can only do so much with our "dumb as dogshit" players. Time to axe a few.
