When it comes down to crunch time you need a reliable technique and so many our blokes don't have it. Bancroft needs remedial work very quickly, his angled bat and gappy defence is sloppy. Saffie quicks will sort this mob out quick smart.Marsh is not long back from a shoulder reco.
Marsh's bowling, which was a strength, has been decidedly underwhelming.
Our bats usually do ok in South Africa conditions and the bowlers really do well. Suits genuine fast bowling and for our batsmen the ball comes on to the bat nicely hence, bar the odd time, our techniques haven't been tested there as they might be in English or sub continent conditions. True fast bowling never worries our bats. We haven't lost in South Africa since they were back in the fold. Funnily enough they've won the last 3 series here. We seems more suited to their conditions than ours.
