Whatever it takes!!!
I'm not sure any amount of India A experience would have stopped him spraying it so much. Bloke was all over thr place any time I saw him bowl
He became good at FC and even County level, I think. I meant more like his early development. We were in that phase of our cricket when anyone bowling 140+ was fast tracked to the test side. I definitely think he could have been a lot more had he been allowed a proper pathway led development.

Tbf to the Marsh brothers, they've performed fairly well domestically at times. Neither have moved up to the next level well. And M Marsh is underrated in white ball cricket.
Shaun was a much better player than his brother but also one of the worst starters ever

He played some high quality test innings in between a lot of single figure scores

Umran is 150 Ks but gun barrel straight. Smith would cream him for fours.
agre, Umran wasnt good. the issue with india has always being able to produce pace bowlers. now, they are struggling to produce spinners on par with Ash, and also struggling to produce batters- Gill was their best prospect in FC, but has barely over 30 test average. Jaiswal is vulnerable to the moving delivery but is so far OK and has produced a big knock this series.

A drop down to #4-5 in the test rankings looks likely for India. They got trashed by NZ(who got trashed by ENG) 3-0 in home conditions.

his 148 in Centurion was magnificent, too bad he decided to get two ducks in the next match
