Bad technique and habits start early, because kids, even with all the gear, are crapping themselves about getting hit and invariably you see kids back pedalling towards leg.... When all you have to do is step the other way and get your body inside the line. We have only one kid at the club with an idea about short pitched stuff and he isn't scared and his footwork is good.
Personally I don't think Head is up to it. All his recent dismissals have been soft. Chipped drive to cover... I'd give my kids in U13s a chat over that one. Nicks behind or catches square happen, but an upped drive?
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

How Wade and Head are in before Carey is baffling

Wade seems to have got himself into a pickle with the Kiwi quicks ... and it could be career ending.

Agree, I'd be going hard at NZ and finishing them off, they look down and disinterested. I often wonder if the lack of follow on's these days has more to do with money than winning games. If games finish early its probably not that good for the bottom line of the game with gate receipts down and advertisers not getting their 5 days worth. It also kills off interest in the series,
Pakistan and NZ have been terrible this season and one sided cricket doesnt help the game. Michael Vaughan was right when he said the test ratings are rubbish and NZ are not the No 2 team in the world. Clearly with Smith and Warner back we are the No 2 team just behind India...

Given the trouble the Aussies have had over the years with keeping their fast bowlers fit, i think NOT enforcing the follow on is simply a way of giving them a break from bowling for 2-3 days straight!

Head is up to it enough to get a ton Prof.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

He's only had one bad Test this summer, in Perth, where he made 12 and 17. Had a 60, 38no, 38 and 30no. in the other Tests.

Yes, but the way he is playing, or not playing, the Kiwi quicks is nowhere near Test standard batting. I'm surprised that Langer hasn't intervened - or perhaps he has ...
