Well played Marcus.

Not that it is everything but there is a lot too like about his body language when on the cricket field.

It is harder to rotate the strike when your range of shots is very limited. The SA batsmen seems to be much better at working often quite good balls around, while the Aus batsmen seem to rely on the pace of the ball and getting a solid hit in.

Yes, but this gets back to developing your game. And it doesn’t answer the question - how do you get to this level without being able to do it ffs?

By playing for a team that suspends its best two batsmen and then proceeds to pick its lineup based primarily on performances in other formats and/or performances on grounds with dimensions so different from the international ones that they might as well be other formats, probably.

I haven't a clue. I might be inclined to lay some blame on the pathways' environments, coaching and preferred cricketing methods but it's a real mystery.

That was a lollipop from Pretorius

Stoinis returns the favour with a lollipop of a shot.

Literally every 6 has been dropped. Not even 1 taken. Remarkable effort.

It's a Hobart thing. I remember when SL played us in what turned out to be the last Commonwealth Bank tri-series there were at least seven sixes in the Aus innings (out of 39 total for the match) that were easily catchable on the hill, none were taken. Perhaps their Tassie genes mean that they're missing fingers or something.
