    Re: 2017 Tour of India

    Starc hits a six and then out - all in the first over. Total 260.

    Now the bowlers need to do the job.

        In your scenario why not just select Agar instead of Mitch Marsh? You would certainly lose nothing in batting ability.
        The presumption is that Marsh offers more as a batsman than Hazlewood. Understandably this is questionable based on Marsh's output with the willow, but there is no need at all for 3 seamers on such a deck. Hazelwood relies on bounce more than swing so is not suited to these conditions - in fact O'Keefe is opening the bowling with Starc as we speak.

            Who needs spin, Hazlewood and Starc with two early wickets. 2/44

                    Dreadful shot by Kohli - arrogance in the extreme to flash so wide of off stump when he's still on zero.

                    Great bowling by the Aussies.

                        Starc and Hazlewood getting a bit of bounce out of the wicket.

                            Yep, credit where it's due - they are getting something out of the deck from bending the back.

                            Where is the criticism for Kohli? If that was Warner on 0 playing such an irresponsible shot he would be copping it from all angles. That was absolute rubbish from Kohli - nice idea from Starc to play to Kohli's arrogance and throw up a half-volley miles wide of off-stump.

                                Next best choice would have been Maxwell instead of Marsh.

                                3rd choice would have been a random draw from WOOF posters instead of Marsh.

                                    Fair old collapse by India - 5 for 4 with O'Keefe taking 4 wickets

                                        Mitch Marsh making the ball talk incredibly. They haven't scored a run off him yet.

                                            From 3/94 to all out for 105. Stunning collapse with O'Keefe finishing with 6.

                                            Marsh didn't bowl but that's understandable given the circumstances. Probably a good advertisement for more spinners
