Is it crazy I kind of want Watson back in for Mitch Marsh?

SMarsh for Voges is a certainty.

Siddle for Hazelwood another change.  Think we need him to keep it tight at one end.

Absolutely no way.

Hazlewood has been one of our best over the three tests.

[Ringo]

This test showed we need someone who can keep it tight and not release the pressure.  Both Starc and Hazelwood were guilty of bowling pies when Johnno was at his peak. Agree Hazelwwod has been good but I think we need that steadying influence at times. Would it be too risky to replace Mitch Marsh with Siddle?

Watson for Starc. :P

Absolutely. Big Siddle fan but there's no place for him here.

Both teams are pretty ordinary. Fluctuations will continue unless one side becomes a good one   ;)

Johnson

I think something like that would work okay for the next test. Any move that improves our batting I'm all for. It's been dreadful all series. I do like Mitch Marsh but his batting is technically flawed, and Watto might just pick up some handy runs with Anderson out... Our bowling attack still isn't well balanced but there's no one else who deserves a shot. Pup can't bat in the top 4 I don't think.

I'd prefer Smiddy stay at 3 and MMarsh play over Watto tbh.

It always makes me nervous when Smiddy has to come in within the first 5 overs  :-\

I agree, when we are bad we are bloody bad. Batsmen mentally piss weak.

[BratPack]

They only need to make one change

In: Fawad Ahmed
Out: Nathan Lyon (flowering Useless)

Mitchell Johnson admitted to singing "The Mitchell Johnson Song" in his head as he was running in to bowl back in 2009. You know you have done your job as the opposition supporter group when that happens ;D

Glad he worked through it though, sign of a determined sportsperson who understands that he will cop criticism.

It is a great song though...I sing it when getting changed....I have tried Taylor Swifts " Shake it off " but its just not right  ::)

Sounds like SMarsh is coming in for his brother.
