called it.

i think the test call up is a bit rushed, gotta feel for McSweeney

Agree.

Given McSweeney is only 25, long term it seems prudent not to drop him.

The top 4 all succeeded today in the Melb test, but Usman, Labu and Smith have struggled to average 20 in this series before today.
 
those sweeps over the head against fastbowling look reckless, but I reckon they are a test match shot

I'm not saying you never get out to it, but its probably lower risk than a cover drive. It is an easy shot to adjust if the ball is moving and probably buys you a wicket sometimes since you remove a slip to put a fielder back. Reckon most teams do that shot regularly soon

Heard those names through the grapevines before. Heard they may or may not have been good at a bat or two.

Konstas pulled them off.

Chasing 474 India at 7-274 is fighting back. Marsh can't bowl enough back up overs in a big innings like this. Webster can.
