Answer these questions honestly in a non "I hate the agro-business community way"flynn should be no where near the team. failing to outdo papps, guptill and maybe even redmond (haven't checked).
and until he brings front foot drives into his test game he will only ever be a more courageous but ultimately just as rubbish usman khawaja.
some people here like to pick apart the various faults of guptill, but the fact is guptill is more effective and when you pick flynn apart he looks rubbish too.
you can shut flynn down by bowling full outside off, he slashes to deliveries which are too full or moving too much to do it too, he is an lbw candidate, he can't put the ball into gaps and he's the left handed jamie how of 40 and out.

I think this suggests that he needs to bowl a better length more than the field settings.We need better field settings to sodhi, they are cutting and back foot driving him for single after single. I would go point and cover point, right now he can't target one batsman.

Who knows what will happen, they might see him score big in the PS and still pick him.Also who's going to come in for Ross - if he can't play - surely not Jesse now.

1) Does Flynn have courage
2) Does Flynn have a good temperament
3) Is he a scrapper
4) Does he understand his limitations and play within them.
On face value from reading it you would say that - but from watching it they are going back to good balls. If him changing his bowling is the answer then he needs to bowl some top spinners and googlies to punish them for going on the back foot to him - top spinners that jump on them would be particularly nasty and if he had one that skidded through that would be even better.I think this suggests that he needs to bowl a better length more than the field settings.
He will never be Glenn Turner agreed. But we just need a role player not a match winner. Not scoring 100s is ok.yes, yes until he gets a start, yes until he gets near a milestone, sort of
he might have guts, but not converting and technical flaws mean he will only get so far.
If the batsmen are consistently playing back to good length balls then that's something Sodhi needs to be able to exploit. Setting a field for it will just leave boundary oppurtunities or other wide open spaces. To me it suggests he's just a touch too slow through the air and off the wicket which gives him very little margin for error against good players of spin.On face value from reading it you would say that - but from watching it they are going back to good balls.

I have clicked on "like" to this post as I think we are both correct. Yes you are right he needs to make some bowling adjustments and adjust his speed. Yes I am right they need to cut off that shot because right now he can't get three balls in a row at the same guy. Their footwork is superb and even if he bowls a bit quicker they are still going to do it. I wasn't expecting this tactic because they didn't do this to Jeets.If the batsmen are consistently playing back to good length balls then that's something Sodhi needs to be able to exploit.

Yeah, agree with this. Fulton still has a purpose; Rutherford is just hoping against hope at this point.Dropping Fulton would be premature, IMO. Not long since he made some tough, valuable runs against England. Deserves to see out the series, at the very least IMO.
Rutherford, on the other hand, shouldn't have the same length of rope. Nothing of any real note since the 176, and finds very poor ways to get dismissed every innings. Latham & Fulton for the rest of the series, IMO.
