It’s a complete mess. The ashes might be hard to keep unless they can get Marn all solved. The coaches have had 3 years to try and fix him and they haven’t.

I’m hoping that getting dropped might be a big kick in the arse for him to go and work on his game. I actually thought I saw a few good signs in the WTC final to be honest - but he needed runs and they didn’t come.
I’d be saying to him go back to Shield cricket and make some BIG hundreds. 70’s and 80’s won’t get you picked. We’re not interested in you averaging 35 in Shield cricket.

You’re obsessed with sheeting home Marnus’ issues to the coaches, Bill. Marnus’ problems have to be fixed by Marnus. And because he’s such an unusual character, most of that is in his own head, not so much a failing in technique. You’re a huge Warney man. He always said that cricket coaches at the top level are overrated.
And personally, I don’t think Marnus was ever a 60-average batsman. The early stats were an outlier.
What the pithy hashtag needs to be is #FixTheShield.

Look most of that I agree with. But the coaches need to be able to identify and help Marn. He is an unusual character- I think he got too full of himself. Maybe too cocky?
I hope he goes back to SS and scores big run because we need a good Marn back at number 3.

I’m just going to acknowledge that Lawry sees similarities between Green and former test player Graeme Hick.
I’m hoping that iby someone acknowledging it he might stop mentioning it

Just listening to Fireball Friday on SEN and I think Lawry might be Kane Cornes. Their hatred of Cam Green is unparalleled.

Why don’t we just bat Inglis at 3 and let Green bat 4?
Oh I don’t hate him I think he has the talent but he’s not matching the hype with his performances. He’s playing his 30th test I believe, so hes not a newby anymore. There’s a problem and it’s obvious. Is it nerves? Technical flaws?

Inglis is a 5,67 not a 1-4.

He’s 2 games back from an extended lay off batting in a new position.

the frustrating parts of your posts are not the opinions - they’re fine and you’re entitled to yours as much as any of us other uninformed muppets, BUT
- you keep repeating yourself over and over and over…
- you don’t appear to learn and progress your own views from the insight of others.
Aceman and Saladin both provided useful responses to you recently, and you just default back to repeating your own agenda.

He played a number of county matches
I suggested it at one stage.
Mainly because he should only either open (which he does in shorter formats) or in Carey’s spot. As Carey is doing well both with his keeping and with bat, that leaves only opening if we are going to use him to bat. Not saying he is good enough as opener however, he isn’t going to be any worse than anyone else we have atm.
He isn’t a 3 or 4 though, isn’t the right type of batter for that position.
He isn’t but if he plays at the moment, and Smith doesn’t, better to have him at 3 If Green can bat at 4.
One batting out of position is better than 2.

Green plays at the ball with “hard” hands, and that is why he is a walking wicket against a moving new ball. Edges to the slips or keeper are a new certainty.

They isn’t any other batters on the tour, so until Smith is back, he is the fill in.
And made 3 centuries from 3 matches. Something you refuse to acknowledge in your criticism. His form is more than sound to have been picked. Issue is he hasn’t batted at 3 before in a meaningful manner. Give the man a chance.

He was all or nothing in England. Made 3 centuries (2 against the same team) from 5 matches not 3 and was single figure in 4 other innings.
