Wads usually knows, if it's from him.

On Jimmy, I like the guy a lot but he'll need to start contributing consistent runs if he's going to continue to warrant selection. His bowling at the minute is either scatter gun or injury-prone, either way not to be relied on. Averaging 30 with the bat won't cut it.

Latham is doing that thing where he overbalances towards the off side again. Needs to rectify that.

He's always been a batsman who bowls some pies (though he's been particularly bad this test - along with everyone else mind). If he can't keep that average up in the high 30's he's going to struggle to justify his place ahead of CJ.

Really beautiful McGrath-esque line that over from Haze. Great example of how you don't have to bowl 140kmh to threaten in these conditions.

thought that was very close, lucky with the inside edge.

The longer Latham bats the more he begins falling across his stumps. That LBW shout helped him correct himself so he was able to on-drive the next one beautifully for four. But he needs constant vigilance to correct the habit.

It also makes him bring his bat down at an angle.

While he's overbalancing a tad, Latham is generally striking a much better balance between defence and attack than Guptill.

BJ at pretty much twice the odds of Neesham is puzzling isn't it.

Famous last words etc

But if you are backing Neesham at those odds to top score, then well you don't deserve money!

Kane's odds are not to long, that is a pretty short price when it comes to that market.

Can't remember the last time when a test batsman would be shorter than 2/1 or 3.0 before the innings begun,

I dunno maybe Shiv when was in beast mode a few years ago?

Ian Chappell will probably demand to talk to guptill at lunch about his scoring rate.

Ok here is hazelwood vs guptill
