Australian Cricket Season 2018-2019

[Cossie]

To be honest, international T20 interests me very little, and I may be alone but I could care less even of the upcoming T20 World Cup that will be hosted here in 2020.

Same here, it's a form of cricket that I don't really like, but I think it's another example of Australia's problems in all formats, not just tests.

I also read this article which says we shouldn't be too harsh on the Marsh brothers, for heavens sake!

If you don't perform, your'e out, it shouldn't be an old boys club.

You can't blame the Marshes for bogging down Australian cricket

I see the exiled duo has made it onto the AFR Young Rich List

Yikes that seems to have escalated very quickly......

He needed a break after the first match. Mental Health issues capture anyone.

That saddens me greatly. I hope he gets well soon. His health is the priority.

Shaun Tait had similar issues.

It didn’t seem as though he was off long - just a few minutes. Probably got told to suck it up.

May be the master sledger doesn't like receiving it

It was the brother of Phillip Hughes who sledged him. There’s a story there methinks.

Interesting....if so, that adds some complexity. Doubt the story will be revealed, but is needed before blind judgement

Shaun Marsh seals Test spot with another top knock

NO!! SM is a great Sheffied Shield player but he cannot translate this to Test cricket. He should not be in the Test team!!

The SMH is reporting that Jason Hughes, Phillips’ brother, said to Warne “You're a disgrace, you shouldn't be playing cricket.”
If that upset him sufficiently to leave the field, it’s going to be a tough if he gets back to international cricket.

And now Candice is back in the media. She really needs to stay in the background.

On another note SMarsh makes two barely passably decent scores in a Shield match and is now said to be set for 4 Tests against India. Gimme strength.

Maddening isn’t it. But a common trend as noted upthread. Mark Waugh excelled at last ditch saves.

Though Mark Waugh has a better test batting average and strike rate than Shaun Marsh and a better bowling test strike rate than Mitchell Marsh. As well as having double the most catches in an innings and in a match as both Marshes.Also 1.5 catches per test on average S Marsh 1 per 1.7 tests,M Marsh 1 per 2.1 tests.

Yep, to put Mark Waugh in the same breath as either Marsh brothers is quite laughable IMO.

Oh yes. In his hey day he was fabulous. But he hung around when he should have left.

Put it in context. As per above.
