yes Rutherford is a lucky fella..still these things tend to even themselves out i suppose..can someone from SL please tell our "official" supporter there to shut the **** up as he is really annoying with his incessant bellowing..
Yeah Lara was a ***** at 4 as well.
Makes me wonder how Rutherford has had any success in first class level, considering this is the same channel you'd expect Hawke Cup bowlers to be able to hit.
width whore
It comes down to more than just practising the shot. It's his whole technique and set up.
Cos he was a *****, like Lara obviously.
Except Lara batted in 43 tests at #3 and scored his highest score there, and averaged 60 there. He was only #4 when either Richardson was playing and performing at #3 or Sarwan was playing and performing at #3 - he was the first to go there when his team required it.
.
the problem at the minute is that he's not only playing bad shots, he's also ****ing up the shots he's usually good at.Listening to the radio this morning and they're immediately scathing about Rutherford's shot selection and technique. Cutting first ball he faced even though it was close to him, not defending straight or leaving frequently enough, slashing, missing, prodding, It sounds so promising
Since he completely stunk up the joint batting as an opener in test cricket. Probably also the fact that he's in the worst form in his limited overs cricket too.
At this stage, I'd advocate anyone who plays in any manner resembling a Test opener. Rutherford is so far away from that description. If we think he's going to score runs in May in English conditions, we're kidding ourselves.
how many successful left handed batsmen in history have had zero leg side play? I'd bank on zero.
The only way we stop that in my view is promoting either Williamson or BMac up the order and giving Latham some video footage of how Sangakarra has countered Southee and Boult in this innings by batting on off stump, leaving everything outside the line of his eyes and making them pay for being on his pads.
