Man, warner needs to work on spin. No problems otherwise.

Marsh needs to work on everything.

Now tweaking Cowan goes. Back to the Clarke and Ponting show.. I hope.

not a big fan of these lbws

It's funny how Warner gets tangled up trying to work ones and twos, whereas if it were a T20, he'd be looking to hammer Ashwin with the switch hit.

Facing spinners so early will take time to get used to.

 

[angryangy]

Again, happens all the time in T20

We are definitely seeing it isn't a good idea having 3 newbies as your top 3. Far too often we have been 3 down for not many. It's a good thing Clarke and Ponting have found form else there could have been a couple more sub 100 scores. Obviously Marsh is gone, Warner and Cowan to stay as opener with Watson slotting into 3 or 4. That should allow the openers enough time to settle in before Ponting and Hussey are looking to call it a day.

Marsh out, Watson in and Warner move down.

 

[Sedition]

Has Warner ever not opened in any form? I can't believe it's being suggested at all really. Already has two big tonnes opening in tests and carried his bat in one of those..

 

[iridescentt]

Unless Watson's flexible with the possibility of moving down. Or even move Cowan down (?).

Either way. Marsh = out. He show's glimpses of his talent (which is the reason why he's here) but he's never ever consistent with his form.

 

[midgetwars]

Marsh has to go.

 

[VC the slogger]

Unbelievable!!Another duck for Marsh.He's gotta be dropped now

 

[swacker]

Marsh has to go.

Get his brother in there.

 

[aussie1st]

Just noticed Warner hasn't scored a 100 when a specialist spinner has been playing. Certainly needs to find the right mindset to play the spinner in particular ones that he has to face in the opening 10 overs.

 

[Adarsh]

Time for a rant. I know India's batsmen have sucked. I know India's bowlers have sucked, and their energy on the field has been sucky too. Acknowledged. One thing we're letting go is this.

Zaheer Khan's batting. Yeah he's a bowler so he shouldn't be expected to score but what the hell's this guy doing every time he goes out there with the bat. He's always been sent in at number 8/9 instead of 11 because he's got some hand eye coordination. Damn fellow doesn't seem to want to use any of that. Wild swings on the first ball pretty much every time he goes out there. He's got one of the best brains in world cricket right now when he's bowling. What the hell happens to him when he goes out there with the bat ?! Argh.

 

[Fenil]

You can't expect Sachin to bowl like Shane Warne... Zaheer has a bowler's brain and skills, not that of a batsman.
