Time to finally end this ridiculous Fatty Finch Test selection experiment and bring Renshaw or Burns in for Sydney.

More likely Finch down the order & Burns or Handscomb replace a marshmellow

LS-Think both Marsh's are gone if they fail in 2nd innings.

Handscomb LOL...let us hope we never see him and that appalling technique ever again in Test Cricket!

Ya know i hate these comments batsmen/bowkers make, Micth Marsh on his return," ï will make a big score"...well why dont these blokes ( not just him), shut up and MAKE the score before being made a fool of. Im all for positive thinking, but really??

Totally agree Unk....One can't fault M Marsh's bowling effort....but if you are batting 6....you ain't in the side for your bowling.....tho JL did say Marsh comes in, because he in fact does bowl better than Handscomb.....just can't believe the inability of these guys to construct an innings.......well bowled India....in all honesty Bumrah and Shami have surprised me with their bowling.....the Indians have just been patient in their approach...knowing full well, none of the current top order have the skills, discipline and mind set to go on.....even that Indian opener on debut, straight from an Indian FC season, has come in and applied himself in foreign conditions.....

hopefully the Victorians were appreciative of Finch's performance as they were of Mitch Marsh's...also that numpty Siddle....trying to embarrass Starc on TV by pulling his shorts down mid interview....about as amateurish an act as that catch he dropped the other day.....I wonder if Cummins dons his pads the same time Finch does...

in all honesty Bumrah and Shami have surprised me with their bowling..


In all honesty Bumrah is prob in the best 3 fast bowlers in the world, even before this series Freezin

UNK: Wade averages 26 with the bat in tests, comparable to Rod Marsh. He was only dropped because of his keeping not his batting. Burns has played well in the Shield and should be included. If they pick Renshaw they will be picking somebody whom averages 19 in the Shield this season.

Lol, Cummins and Starc showing the top order how to bat. What an absolute embarrassment our batsmen are. Probably a good thing Smith and Warner aren't playing. It would only wallpaper over the cracks. We can't make the excuse we play too much 20/20, India invented the game and probably play more yet they don't have a problem adjusting to test cricket.

The Marsh brother's are another embarrassment all on their own. I used to sympathise with Shaun Marsh because he always seemed unlucky with injuries when he was in good form but he's got too many demons in his head and Mitch I think is just overrated. What happened to the new tactic he revealed after making a big century last summer? Walking away toward square leg after every ball to clear his head for the next ball.

A line needs to be drawn through Shaun Marsh's test career and only dominating at Shield level should the younger Mitch Marsh ever be considered again.

Unk considering Bumrah has played only international ODI and T20 until this year....big call after only 8 tests....of which were against poor batting sides in WI and Aust and bowling in Eng conditions...but he definitely does look the goods....only 25 too...got a great career ahead of him......thought Shami was a hot head...but he has bowled with control and smarts......

DD...Cummins should be Australia's next allrounder.....get Patto fit too
