I’m probably giving Marnus a 5
His partnership with McSweeney in Adelaide probably saved our behinds and his batting at the MCG went a long way towards us winning the test.

Got it pretty bang I reckon.

Like Jim I might have given Laba a slightly higher score based on ‘quality’ runs vs the quantity.

I might be a tad more generous than you with most getting one more than you gave, Head getting a 9 and Cummins 8 but reckon you got that order spot in given ball dominated the series which makes Travs series even more impressive.

Pretty slim pickings for the Sidchrome team.

Jaiswal
Rahul
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Pant
Reddy
Cummins
Lyon
Boland
Bumrah

6-5 spread.

Lyon gets a ticket as he was the best spinner despite none of them doing much for the series.Starc & Siraj had similar results, Starc would get the nod there as Siraj would be just as useful using his willy as a bat, he is a genuine bunny.

Good work - it would be interesting to also have HS to give context
Warner always lived out on his 200 in 2022-23
Khawaja had similar numbers but wasn't as gobby about it

In addition to Smith being stranded on 9,999 test runs, I just realised Nathan Lyon is currently stranded on 99 first class catches.
