Ewwwww.
Swann's a **** of the highest order. Murphy seems pretty self-effacing.

You cant read too much into one game. But there is definitely very good potential here with Murphy.

Nah **** that, it was bad execution. Nothing wrong with the idea to sweep a ball outside leg.

Just shows how bad that area is outside the left hander's off stump/ right hander's leg stump

Just thinking about this the other day, I dont think I have seen a more limited great batsman than Virat in tests. There are so many shots and options and parts of the ground he never plays or cannot play to. Bowlers should always find it easier to limit him.

You can thank the curators. They got done what Aussies bowlers cannot do for a long time.Just shows how bad that area is outside the left hander's off stump/ right hander's leg stump

A good argument to not have him in an ATG XI I reckon - McGrath would have him for lunch.

He never sweeps does he? Unusual for a SC player in particular. It opens up a lot of the ground when it's played well.

I never thought he will make any ATG XIs. I just think him, and the rest of the fab 4, are all ATG test batsmen and we have been a bit spoiled by the noughties with the averages.

He hardly sweeps or cuts. Basically has very few scoring options behind square apart from nips, tucks, glances and the odd pull/hook shot. He was not always like this though. Guy could play every shot in the book but when he went into his peak around 2016, he shelved so many of these shots and now he is a bit of a sitting duck to most good test bowlers coz he can hardly get away.
Rohit, Pujara and the modern batsmen around them all play the sweep. Even Rahane used to. It was just Virat for some reason.

I say it today with confidence. Murphy will overtake Lyon in the spinner rankings and in terms of achievements. Looks quality.
