You got a wk in Buttler who is utter useless after such a long investment. Burns is just not suitable to bat on these surfaces.
Unlike a couple of libertarians to be waxing lyrical over fanciful notions.
What is it with you and Billings? He's not in the Test squad, he wasn't even in the Lions squad, his First Class record is shithouse and he doesn't even have a particularly good international record in the formats he's meant to be good at.
I'd love to see Jimmy pick up three quick ones under lights we can get another four years of @GoodAreasShane crying about it.
i missed this but yeah my fear that this would happen was exactly why i made that post. fortunately green started warming up basically straight after that.
Changed the game entirely too.
I know he isn't playing FC games.. England are all set to receive a thrashing this series anyways. They need to think outside the box. Go all guns blazing in MCG which is a fairly docile pitch.
I can understand the impulse to pick really good limited overs players in Tests when the First Class system isn't producing anyone... but picking medicore ones like Billings makes no sense.
Yeah admittedly it's harder in an attack missing Cummins + Hazlewood, but our tactics against Woakes haven't felt right.
I can only think of 2.66 reasons why it is bad to recall Bracey.
indeed that sounds like tonights pudding.
Woakes is effectively a Test standard batsman against what they've sent down to him so far (full outswingers and off spin), and that's not even true about half their actual batsmen.
a bit?
