As soon as his best mate Smith form dipped his dipped. Did they used to be joined at the hip or something?

Aussies are struggling imo. Batters out of nick and bowlers negated well 1st test. Don't see how they come back.

Weren't there stats saying for quite a long time he was the most dropped batsman? I think it's probably making too much of it but maybe he just got really lucky earlier in his career and it's averaging out.

Really, never knew that. You'd think that sort of luck averages out over a career though.

His and Smith's form has nose dived this last couple of years. Same as Kohli bar his ton in his last innings.

Only Root has been consistently putting down tons of runs year after year.

Maybe his inadvertent speciality into Test cricket has meant he can perform at a higher level for longer.
 
Been a running joke about Marnus is one of the luckiest batsman ever on another cricket forum I post on.

Henry Nicholls for new zealand another one.

But yeah fielding sides been more clinical in dismissing the twitchy bastard part of his decline!

Feels like ages since the first match, when's the next test? Hope they've been playing warm up games in between to keep them in the groove

4.00am tomorrow morning. I was thinking the same about the gap between the previous test and this one. A normal gap at one time but these days they're all practically back-to-back tests.
