Or destroy his confidence altogether. Batting in SA is much tougher than batting in Aus imho.Should help him cope with aussie pitches in the ashes.

Awesome, so he'll probably be playing at the university here then.. How I love watching his progression, and then back againOh apparently he is turning up for second Xi of Kwazulu Natal.
I just can't figure the guy out. Scores a second ball duck, a century and a very painful 1! I'm not sure if he needs more cricket or less of it, as it almost looks like he is banging his head against a brick wall and getting nowhere.Out for 1 off 23 balls today, Surrey collapsing. Not a great match.
I wondered about him playing in Aus too?! If the ECB asked an Aussie State side to take our best player into their fold to get him some much needed practice, then I'm assuming that they would've said no, being that its so close to the ashes..?Ive been one of his biggest detractors over the past couple of years, but Im glad that he made this move. If we were to nitpick, he would have been better off playing for a state side in Australia before the series but I dont think it matters too much and Im glad hes made the effort to actually get his game and career back in tact.
Local rivalries more important than the odd meaningless international?Well quite, it's not as if a county team signed up one of Australia's batsmen, say Phillip Hughes, for a few weeks before last year's series ... oh, wait ...
Haha. Indeed! Turned out in England's favour in the end as we discovered his fear of the short ball and his confidence was shattered.Well quite, it's not as if a county team signed up one of Australia's batsmen, say Phillip Hughes, for a few weeks before last year's series ... oh, wait ...
way to put a theory to rest..
Was in pretty decent nick in the T20 series we played against Pakistan, though I can't remember whether that preceeded the tour to Bangladesh or not.Actually the nipper being born coincided with his best (only?) run of form over the last 18 months at the T20 WC.
Needs more children, obvz.
