Harris has made 65 on top of his 250 last game, Renshaw made 89, Handscomb 123.
Looking at ..

Labuschagne
Paine
Cummins
Starc

Better than the crap that has been playing for us.
Cummins looks the pick of the batsman......

Better technique than many.

Mitch Marsh made 151 today. Not sure if that helps our cause or not.

On current trends he'll be captain before sunset!

I first heard it out of Warne’s mouth whilst he was still playing.

Yep, Chappelli had been using it since the WSC days.

Fine..use it when commentating Womens cricket.
I had to laugh the other day when Pat Cummins was doing some commentary on the Womens Aust vs NZ one dayer at North Sydney...he called them batsmen a couple of times.
In the earlier days of Womens cricket they were actually called batswomen too.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-05-2018
In any case, the term for Batsmen is the least of our current Batting specialists worries.....actually batting through 50 overs seems to be the current problem.
And I agree with others on here about Starc...he is possibly the most overrated, pressure reducing, run leaking bowler we've had in recent memory...and I used to be very hard on Mitch Johnson in his early years !

Have you noticed that these rare deliveries are almost exclusively produced to tail-enders as well ?
