Or destroy his confidence altogether. Batting in SA is much tougher than batting in Aus imho.

Awesome, so he'll probably be playing at the university here then.. How I love watching his progression, and then back again

Cricketer Of The Year
Out for 1 off 23 balls today, Surrey collapsing. Not a great match.

I just can't figure the guy out. Scores a second ball duck, a century and a very painful 1! I'm not sure if he needs more cricket or less of it, as it almost looks like he is banging his head against a brick wall and getting nowhere.
Regardless of what happens in SA, he's sure to get his place straight back in the test team ready for the first test at Brisbane ... I only hope his head is in the right place by then, with some much needed confidence.

International Coach
Ive been one of his biggest detractors over the past couple of years, but Im glad that he made this move. If we were to nitpick, he would have been better off playing for a state side in Australia before the series but I dont think it matters too much and Im glad hes made the effort to actually get his game and career back in tact.

I wondered about him playing in Aus too?! If the ECB asked an Aussie State side to take our best player into their fold to get him some much needed practice, then I'm assuming that they would've said no, being that its so close to the ashes..?

Local rivalries more important than the odd meaningless international?

Australian state sides wouldn't do it, IMO. They've shown over the past ten years that there is generally a lack of interest for imports, aside from T20, and if they ever have imports they see it as important to have them for a whole season.

Haha. Indeed! Turned out in England's favour in the end as we discovered his fear of the short ball and his confidence was shattered.

Am I right in thinking that his massive dip in form coincided almost exactly with the birth of his first child?

Was in pretty decent nick in the T20 series we played against Pakistan, though I can't remember whether that preceeded the tour to Bangladesh or not.
