Its not mutually exclusive. Most players who come in having played loads of FC and debuting or in their initial years are good against spin. But the big 4 of Virat, Rohit, Rahane and Pujara who hardly play any FC and have played very little FC in the last 10 years or so, all have major issues against even decent quality spin.
Yeah but Smith makes up for it and closes the gap quite significantly.
Smith is like that one billionaire that makes the average income of a group/nation look respectable when most people are barely making ends meet
Sounds more like India than Australia, then.
In this case though, its an indictment of how much the other batters in his side have sucked. Like I said, the non leg spinning bowling Aussie batters all pretty much suck.
Oh yeah for sure. Although that's across both teams I believe
But we knew our batting would suck in Australia.
These stats really do underline how poor a series this has been from a batting quality POV. Cameron Green, averaging a mighty 33, is the fourth-top runscorer! If Pujara and Pant get out semi-cheaply it'll stay that way too.But we knew our batting would suck in Australia.
That’s less to do with playing spin well and more to do with Lyon being crap.
They should definitely do that ftr. The refusal to try and hit the Indian spinners straight down the ground and through the line, like every other touring finger spinner I can recall to ever visit Australia, has been a constant source of frustration.
