Did Bailey punch Rogers in the back of the head when he got his ton?

Rogers has done well, and I'm happy for him. As soon as he was selected I was cheering for him of course.
However lets not distort what the discussion was about prior to his selection. Going into this innings Rogers was averaging what, about 40 over the two series?
Hughes and other opening batsmen in the squad at the time (including David Warner who was missing for the first few matches) would have contributed just as much over the stretch of ten matches in my judgment.
There's nothing to indicate that they would not have been more successful in the role.

Will be there for the one dayers. Can console himself with that. Actually thought he batted quite well this morning.

Surely he wouldn't have been a chance for SA regardless, chap clearly isn't a Test batsmen for mine. Good ODI basher none-the-less.

The last consolation was that we might have gifted him enough runs to stay in the side.

Apart from Hughes' proper ****e record of course... albeit in the middle order.

Well, Scaly keeps on mentioning his fielding in the reasons for his selection, so clearly he's been proven right.

Some people have been predicting that all series and been proven wrong every time. I'm hoping you are wrong here too.

Speaking of which, where is Scaly? Seemed to disappear off the face of the earth in recent times....go figure.
