I didn't include Cummins in the team. I included him in an end of decade team he'll have played a few more tests by them. But now I've actually realised the end of the decade is only one year away. I don't know what my point was.
That's my point. If it was 2016 or so and you were doing a prediction I wouldn't say anything, but it's too late for him to break into the side. Good shot at a 2020's Test XI.....hopefully.
AB vs AUS is pretty much the shopping list you pick the greatest batting performances of recent times from. It's a bad idea to pick on performances vs a single country but the Gulf in ability is hard to ignore.
That's a bit of a reach. He still averages 50+ away from home.
Even ignoring the fact that this should be seen as a deficiency and not a point in his favour, its also a huge myth.
Younis averages 51.33 @ 3, while Williamson averages 53.91 @ 3 (and NZ is harder for batting than the UAE too - particularly in the 1st innings).
I'll get that kidney out early if you carry on ****.
Remember getting into an argument with Marcuss about whether Raina or Amla would have the better career (b/c Raina but not Amla made my Team of the 2010's in 2010)
Clearly a guy who doesn't bother scoring when his team is in an already excellent position, gentlemen
Sanga scored nearly 5000 runs in the 2010s. He's in the top 10 run scorers for the decade. If that's not good enough to qualify you can't have Younis either who played 9 more tests for less runs.
I've had this chat before with him about Smith. It shocks you.
lol bloke averaging 50 away from home pads his stats. Get in the bin.
Amla and Warner are both statistically superior to Cook. And Amla plays in more bowler friendly conditions. I'd take him as opener over Cook, though both make good cases for selection.
I wouldn't have Younis.
