Cricketer Of The Year
He's done better at 3 than he has at any point in his test career bar that one series in SA, averaging 40 there or something around that.Don't think it's anything new, Tresco was the Vice to Vaughan for example. Pope has been VC for the last year too. As for his average, he's not quite worked out Bazball yet like others have. He's turned into this skittish kid on too many sweets for the first part of his innings and is getting out cheaply, often walking down the wicket. If they can get him to calm down for his first 20 balls then he undoubtedly has the talent to score big runs.
He's probably also not helped by being a Number 5 who has been moved to 3 and then has to come out as soon as Crawley departs.
On the topic of vc batting averages, head was the VC during the 2019 Ashes before he figured out test cricket and got dropped in the 5th test, maybe he averages less than 32? Mitch Marsh had the Aussie test VC for a bit and was averaging >30.
