Huh? We'd feel robbed if KW was out played-on. I thought Burns looks pretty comfortable apart from a couple of slightly outside edged drives
We earned his edge early doors and it didn't carry to second slip. He also avoided our gully a couple of times. Plus had a suspect defensive system throughout. He wasn't awful, but he was lucky to make 40.

I think we will clean him up on the return tour.

Wasn't one of those unlucky chop-ons though. Was a piss weak half cut that deserved to be out.
There's always an element of unlucky-ness to play-on whether it deserves to be out. So many chop it either side of the stumps. Take it you're not a batsman

FMD Brett Lee, you are an absolute idiot

Burns isn't going to have the longest test career is he? Lol one of the best worst batsmen I've seen
Don't know about that. Can look a bit scratchy early, but plenty of guys do that. He seems to be able to cash in once he gets in. Long way to go for him to prove himself, but I wouldn't be writing him off on anything he's shown so far.

Yeah and given how comfortable he looks against spin he can easily slide down to 5. He is so much better than half of numpties in the opposite team

Better batsman than Boult, Southee, Henry, Bracewell and Craig. Ok I'll give you that.

Better record than Bradman at the same point in his career. Why don't you give the bloke a chance before writing him off?
You'll have to point me to where I wrote off his career. Anyway, my post was only to make light of another of the repetitive jibes from the low-brow end of CW's Australian camp.
