Think he's not gonna do great, he always looks a bit of an lbw candidate and green found a bit of that from him in the WA VS VIC SHIELD GAME. Also has never performed at a level or on more bowler-friendly tracks from memory.
honestly people going in on "this great player who averages 60+ after 75 tests and a 50+ average away is finished because he had three bad innings" dove into one of the most obvious self-own traps of all time
Came off as a sh*t bloke, yes.
I hope you're saying this wrt his performance with the gloves as opposed to what he said yesterday?
Yep easy scapegoat for a pretty poor performance from the bowling unit
I mean three catches in one day is pretty bad by any measure. None of them were necessarily straightforward but all are definitely ones that Test keepers tend to catch if they're keeping well.
Even if he literally cost Australia the game, he's not a robot - good players are allowed to have bad games. What makes them good is that they happen very rarely.
Oh sure, but that doesn't make him a scapegoat. He quite rightly takes the largest part of the blame/responsibility for the failure to close out the win.
As much for some of the tactics after tea as well, when they over did the short stuff. That’s a collective decision, I suppose, but he wears it as skipper.
Elite time-wasting.
