Cartwright is in crap form with the bat. Hardly gets a bowl.

Didnāt he get runs last game?

Much ado about nothing.
And mitch marsh is just back from injury IIRC and not been bowling much.
Surely there is someone out there aside from him.
Whereās James Faulkner got to these days?
Otherwise could pick another specialist bowler given Cummins batting of late could push him up order.
Jackson Bird is in squad yes?
Handscomb averages 50 and batted through the toughest session of the series when others failed. He protected the tail.
He has only had 3 bats. Surely they donāt drop him.

We made some obvious tactical errors and still got the win. Probably a reflection of the opposition but all you can do is beat them.
Iād bring Maxwell in for Perth.
Lol, ā¦ Anyone else noticed how much Joe Root looks and sounds like James Blunt!
Uncanny.

What errors? The non follow on?
We won and protected our bowlers. What more do people want?

Mitch Marsh added to Ashes squad. For realsā¦
Yeah there shouldnāt be too much carry on about the non-follow on. However the DRS stuff was diabolical.
Told you all
Looked up to see how Handscomb plays in Perth. He hasnāt played there much at all. Last shield game was 2015/16 and he did well making 98 1st innings, 63 2nd innings. And yes, Maxwell is doing all that can be asked of him with the bat.
Aaand, Mitch Marsh is moved into the squad for Perth.

Another one back from the grave.
Yep the not follow on and the challenges. Yeah we won but with a ~200 run lead it should not have been that tight. It was the wrong decision plain and simple and ultimately the bowlers may have had to bowl longer as a result. Great to get the win but also important to reflect on what could be improved.

2 of last 3 innings have been low scores. Has scored above 50 only twice in last 16 innings. I wish him well and I like him a lot, but heās been struggling.
Has he even been bowling for WA? Canāt wait to hear the justification that his batting has been considered better than Maxwell and maybe he can do a bit of bowling.
