So Finch bowled again with the ball coming back into him....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-15-2019
Yep, getting boring isn't it? I think there's about ten basic batting drills given to juniors to prevent that issue.

Wade’s situation reminds of Richie Robinson back in the olden days. Robinson had no chance of displacing Marsh as keeper but his success with the bat got him a Test spot as a batsman. Of course the Poms worked out his technical flaws and he failed to reproduce his Shield form at Test level.
Wade’s technique could also be exposed ... but that seems to apply to all of our batsmen ????

I think we more to move more towards the attitude taken by Border in '89......he made a conscious decision to say nothing to the poms, not to interact with them in anyway, even though on previous tours he had been mates with quite a few of them... Certainly there was stuff all sledging compared to subsequent captains, but that completely hardnosed, driven approach made it quite plain to the poms that he was there for 1 thing only.....to win.
And yes, Wade has to go to England as backup keeper/batsman. Sadly they can't afford to throw Carey to the Lions yet given the shortness of England tours these days. No scope to take players on Ashes tours for experience anymore.

Neither are many others. All you can do in that situation is go on form. His batting was definitely Test level in his first stint with 50s and 100s, just was poor batting on his 2nd stint.

It's supposedly a bat off for the Test top order in the CAXI game against Sri lanka down here at Bellerive.......so far, they've all failed !
Renshaw - 7
Burns - 6
Labuschagne - 6
need a bight of fight from Patterson & Pucovski, otherwise the next batsmen in line look very ordinary.

Getting that. At lunch, Patterson is 41 and Pucovski is 22. Both looking really good.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-17-2019
And then got out. Jinx.
Patterson showing some spine.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 01-17-2019
Patterson 157*, get youselves ready for another average NSW batsman in the national team
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-17-2019
If Finch wasn't ODI captain he'd be dropped as well. His career at international level is hanging by a thread.
