As I said previously Renshaw is exactly what Australia has needed for quite a while now

An Englishman?

[petehosk]

Sounds like Starc is going Ninja on the bowling!

[Felix Tito]

Warne needs to get his head out of his backside, Australia's innings has been dreadful and he keeps making out 250 is a great score. Australia's spinners are probably the worst India will have faced during this elongated home summer.

Are you suggesting he was chosen on name alone......? 

Nope, he was chosen on this fascination of needing an allrounder, even if there's not one good enough.

[ppccopener]

is 250 enough on this wicket?

that's the thing, even if it is exploding everywhere the Indians play spin fantastically

and can Lyon trouble them?

 

[skip1973]

Starc and Hazlewood would need to do bulk of damage.

[northernboy1987]

India to bat tomorrow rock up 400-500 by lunch on day 3 and win by an innings before stumps?

The comment was a little scurrilous. But the hosk is right. Its a nothing selection. Clearly not selected for his spin, and has no place in an Australian plan to fall back on form pacemen. And thats before considering his at best average form with the bat and recent injury concerns. Hes just nowhere. Pick a spinner, pick a bat that can part time and your already more valuable than M.M. I like him but its a mistake. Likely a costly one.

However, huge man crush on Renshaw! And hoping for a Johnson style form indicator from Starcs innings!

[Biggie Smalls]

M.Marsh at 8 instead of Hazlewood.  Maxi at 6, or Agar at 7 even ......but M.Marsh should be 'banned from entry' into any top 7 anywhere .

[Biggie Smalls]

no Renshaw will be in the runs today

You were right ....on two counts ! 

[ppccopener]

You were right ....on two counts ! 

at last someone got my joke 

[manno]

400-500 by lunch seems to have been an optimistic prediction....

[ppccopener]

Dont think the morning could of gone any better
Lyon needs to have a good day as well thou not just the seamers to keep it tight
Good stuff from the Aussies!

Pity we can't bat! But one again quality pace bowling doing the job. Lyon has to make the most of these conditions.

[ppccopener]

aust and eng very similar, the best bowlers by a street are the seamers-starc is top class so thats your strength
We had a chance to win the first test and didnt nail it, australia need to pile in here big time
Getting kholi is massive
As i said before if Lyon can bowl tight he is doing a job, Starc and hazlewood cant bowl all day and be effective
