Can't drop S.Marsh... M.Marsh is the next Australian All-Rounder.

Burns needs to stay in the team though imo.

Dammit Marsh, why'd you have to ton up haha

So what Ele? M.Marsh hasn't performed at all during this tour. In reality, this tour is going to be a whitewash, surely, so why not give all the batsmen a run to distinguish who our best will be for the upcoming tours.

MMarsh has hardly had a chance to perform with the bat on this tour. He's come in when the teams already on 1324637 runs, so we don't really have a fair indicator. His bowling has been pretty good, and we know that as an Australian all rounder you don't have to be able to bat, bowl or field (Watson).

Of course they should drop S Marsh.

Exactly. S Marsh is the reserve batsman, he came in, he performed, awesome. Now he goes back to being the reserve because the others are all better than him. Smith has a little knee issue he might not play Sydney anyway.

Shaun marsh pulling the Brad Hodge, comes in as replacement, when his person he replaced is fit he will go. Its not fair, but thats how it is. Usman is the future and as soon as fit he walks in. For me its simple, marsh gone. The selectors would be going backwards if they dropped Burns, as they selected him as an opener for the future.

Maybe they won't need to worry about it after all.

Dunno if we've been watching the same M.Marsh but its incredibly hard to get yourself in when your role is to smash out 30 runs in 20-odd balls before a declaration. Basically this:

Ftr, I believe they should drop S.Marsh but flower me he'd be feeling stiff.

From memory we've seen Forrest, Cowen, Doolan, Burns, Maxwell, Khawaja and Rogers try to stabilize the top order ......

UK will make it, hopefully they keep him #3 now that he's fit. Rogers made it, finally! But the others?

I cant see Burns being any better than a S Marsh or the others mentioned yet! Meaning Burns is dropped .........
