Burgey

I quite like what Finch is trying to do here to negate the movement. Kumar is slow enough to bat way out of your crease and get forward to, so he may as well give it a crack and see how it goes. Still looks in terrible nick though.

As soon as your head falls across like that you'll always get nailed in front. It really isn't that hard to fix

Pant 100% deserves a spot in this side as a batsman.

He's averaging 50 and striking at 75 in tests dammit

What on earth has Carey done to earn a spot other than stand behind Sayers 2 seasons ago?
Yeah I know he's just been pushed hard as the next in line to the keeping throne for some reason. Already on a few TV ads so they're in too deep now and have to persist has done sfa in the big bash this summer

Australia doing painfully in an ODI? Who knew. Finch's test stint seems to have messed up his ODI batting too.
It's amazing how Langer can take competent batsmen and turn them terrible. Takes a lot of skill.

I get the feeling that Langer is very good with guys who are natural "grinders" but is hopeless with batsmen that are naturally aggressive.

I don't think he's a good coach for any sort of batsman. As I keep saying, remember his last stint around 2010?

yeah, in a sense the collapses of the last few years have been somewhat understandable because these batsmen aren't that good. there are fewer excuses for a top order that, at various times, read watson katich ponting clarke hussey. that lineup playing today would be arguably the best in world cricket, and yet he managed to turn them into a side that got shot out for <100 on the regular.
