Marsh in for Head, Siddle in for Starc + we won the toss and chose to bowl.

Mmmmm..

 

[Dexter]

Yep looking like the best first day batting conditions in the series and Paine bowls.
It's a hmmmmmm from me as well

 

[Fernando]

Tim Paine you dumbass.

Selectors too.

 

[Dexter]

Nek minute

 

[Dexter]

Mitch Marsh coming on , lets see what hes got .
Have no doubt, if our openers could score a run we would be batting .
Ridiculous logic

 

[Galah]

Why in God’s name are we bowling when we had the choice?

Why in God’s name are we bowling when we had the choice?

Give us a challenge.

 

[Galah]

Give us a challenge.

They already did that by putting marsh in the team

They already did that by putting marsh in the team

And Siddle.

A bit too much partying? These guys are planning and making decisions like they're drunk.

 

[The True King]

We deserve to lose this match based on team selection alone. Throw in Paine's call to bowl first, the inevitable decision to bat Wade higher in the order to accommodate Marsh, and the selection of Siddle over Patto and its almost guaranteed English victory.

Personally I'm not too bothered, my money is looking very safe at this point and English were at great odds!

 

[Dexter]

If they can bat on it so can we. I wouldn't be counting the money just yet.

Mitch Marsh takes 4

 

[Sproj]

Mitch Marsh takes 4

That’s what he does. Returns to the side and does ok for one match and then sucks for the next 15.

 

[Socnorb]

Marsh bowling beautifully. Genuine swing at genuine pace. Credit where it's due.

 

[roo-ted]

Warner needs to score this innings, he’s becoming the Boyd of cricket
