Yeah but Nevill can keepYeah I know, however there comes a point where a wicketkeeper/number 7 is expected to rescue collapses. Bairstow a decent example, he comes in at 120-5 on a fair few occasions and changes momentums with quality knocks. Nev never has, and that is an issue.
And of course the plebs will never ask themselves why Hazlewood did so little may have something to do with the idiot savant with a crown upon his head that has been placed in charge of this once great side.Ah yes, the old "OUR BATTING SUCKS? LET'S DROP SOME BOWLERS!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!" trick at play again.
Herath - 28 wickets at a ridiculous 12.75 runs each.13 wickets bro.
He needs to be in porn after retirement IMO.
Tbf, I don't really recall his test match batting getting that much of a go, although there probably was a flow on effect given it was supposed to be his stronger suit. his LO batting was rough at times, but I tend to put that down to having to bat 6-7-8Don't think that Nev should be dropped, but just think Wade's batting has copped a rough go on here.
Not that his keeping has - in another world, Wade is playing as a specialist batsman having not kept since 2006.
I would argue that Sarfaz is also comfortably better than NevillI don't think he is a bad player, and he like Mitch Marsh has had that odd quirk of this Australian side of either coming in 480-5 and needing to slog or coming in 90-5 and being a bit ****ed.
However will say that when you compare him to a Bairstow for example, he hasn't shown any of those counter attacking, momentum shifting innings. At some point you have to score runs, and he just hasn't.
nah.I really love that with the exception of Spikey and Burgey........everyone else has now accepted Steve Smith for the **** that he is.
I have address this before. There is nothing in the rules that says the People's Champion has to be a face. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G8u1ErQTO0I really love that with the exception of Spikey and Burgey........everyone else has now accepted Steve Smith for the **** that he is.
Do you have any purpose in life other than logging on to an online cricket forum an constantly try and badmouth the Australian cricket team? I'm not saying you should stop, it's actually quite funny, but I just can't imagine what you get out of it.I really love that with the exception of Spikey and Burgey........everyone else has now accepted Steve Smith for the **** that he is.
He got those stumpings which Haddin and Bairstow would have never gotten. So it's fine I think.I am a fan of Nevill, but at some point a keeper averaging 20 is not going to cut it at this level.
It was positive intentdead set though, can you believe CA handing out a coaching contract extension just prior to a Asia tour starting
Steve Smith is not the Australian cricket team fella..........he's one player. Didn't I have an argument with you not long ago when I was sticking up for Nathan Lyon?? Try again Brah.Do you have any purpose in life other than logging on to an online cricket forum an constantly try and badmouth the Australian cricket team?

Bhajji got 32 against an ATG lineup in 2001. They only lost 50 wickets that series as well, won the first match by 10 wickets.Herath - 28 wickets at a ridiculous 12.75 runs each.
Has there ever been a better effort in a 3 Test series?
Was very close to trolling back through my posts to show you all the positive things I've said about the Australian cricket team...........then I reminded myself that you're an idiot and I shouldn't waste my time.lol wasn't referring to one post champ
