Because they’re crap ?

While questions continue around Marnus Labuschagne’s place in Australia’s Test side, the bigger picture from the India A vs Australia A unofficial Test is worth considering.

Australia A’s top order had a chance to make a statement in Indian conditions, but there was no standout performance that made the selection decision any easier.

Nathan McSweeney made 0 in the first innings before fighting back with 35 in the second. Campbell Kellaway managed 2 and 0, while Sam Konstas scored 25 in the first innings. Peter Handscomb made 8 and 19, while Jason Sangha’s 46 was one of the better contributions from the Australian top order. Fergus O’Neill also showed some resistance with 47 in the second innings.

Australia A were eventually bowled out for 171 and 200, losing to India A by 162 runs. India A’s Kumar Kushagra was the standout batter with 113 and 46*, while the Australian batting group struggled against the conditions.

That’s why the Marnus debate isn’t simply about “who should replace him?”

If Marnus is under pressure, someone else has to make a strong enough case to take his place.

At the moment, the door is open - but nobody from this Australia A batting group has kicked it down yet.

And that may be an important part of the conversation when Australia’s selectors assess the No.3 position.

Did Freo choke or just s**t the bed ?

Absolutely unbelievable. I'm speechless. What can you say about the threepeat Lions? 17 points down with 4min 18 sec left on the clock, and still they get off the canvas. There's been better grand finals but none with a more amazing finish. Will Ashcroft does it again, Zac Bailey enormous, and Logan Morris yet another Lion to pull something amazing out after a quiet day. What an incredible team. Fremantle will be absolutely shattered, had so many chances to put the game to bed. Dominated the centre bounces all day but couldn't win the ones that mattered most. Wow, what epic sporting drama. Another reason ours is the greatest game in the world.
