GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
Marsh is a scratchy batsman.

Even in these days of big bats and t20 cricket being able to flick the ball around the field is such an important skill. All the best batsmen can still find singles. Look at how often Smith for example farms a single off a spinner by skipping down the wicket and just pushing the ball to the fielder on the mid on boundary.

I reckon one of the easiest ways to spot a good batsman is the ease they find the gap

Marsh is like Finch except worse at slogging.

edit: as much crap as Warner gets for being a dumb t20 slogger he's really good at hitting ones and twos, especially in tests.

Finch skied a ball and he and Ishant both went to catch it, Ishant caught it but it looked like Kohli gave him an earful afterwards.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Given how many catches Ishant has dropped this series he's kinda justified

Agreed, it's why I think Glenn Maxwell will be a fine test bat if he scales himself back 10%

Rohit sharmas face when he got out was pretty funny. normally i think batsmen hanging around after getting dismissed deserve a bit of a hurry up but he looked so hilariously sheepish

Also yeah the bowling line up sucks

Yeah I dunno how anyone can mouth off the guy. He's been basically carrying India this entire series.
