I just reckon the majority of them aren't any good when the ball is turning. Every nation knows that we are home/flat track bullies, so prepare tracks accordingly.
Have we ever fielded a worse keeper than Wade?? In this match alone he let through 30 byes, dropped a few catches and scored 9 runs. In a match lost by 20 runs that's the game right there.
Since coming back into the team he averages 18, and has gone over 20 only 5 times in 18 innings - he is going to fail with the bat 2 out of 3 times and we keep picking him!
I would give Handscombe the gloves in the next test and play Cartwright. You can then play another spinner in place of Hazlewood. I thought we bowled pretty well except for the first morning, but Smith is still clueless about mixing up his slow bowlers.
