Haha, indeed. Worked for that game with the pitch being a dustbowl and helped the team balance immensely, but it was never a long-term option and he rightfully lived and died at Test level on the basis of his batting. And then never got a chance to come back into the side to prove that he actually could do it.
never a chance but that little dance was magnificentHaha cop that your wanker
Was a ****ing difficult chance tbf
Yeah, I'd have had him play more test cricket for Australia. I think the perceived weakness against the short ball had been eradicated nearer the end of his career when he was being Bradman at first class level. But that was the era that you needed to convert your first chance because you may never get another.
Flattered by the pitches, obvs (as all batsmen have this series) and a poor Indian attack, but he's certainly played his role extremely well. With our middle order filled with guys who give away starts (Watson, Smarsh) or are inexperienced (Burns, MMarsh), we needed him to do something like that to set up the innings.
Who knows could have been some other guy on cricinfo
Other issue being that he was so, so good in ODIs that he'd never have lived up to expectations if he played Tests again.
If you are talking about Rogers he was always going to England.
