Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Professer E]

Hearing you EB but there is a perception issue at play I reckon. Burns looks heavy footed and isn't the most fluent looking bat but what he did do looked good technically... When he played shots they stayed hit, and it took a real Jaffa to get him.  Whereas Khawaja looks fluid and stylish... But is scratching around like an old chook with the odd flashy shot from the pacemen punctuated by ugly get out shots versus pedestrian spinners.  Been a long time since he has made real runs and has survived a long time by "looking good" without real results.  His inability against spin is embarrassing and the side can't afford his soft dismissals any more.

Personally I reckon Burns looks a natural five or six,  with all the shots and the ability to go hard,  just don't see why he has elected to open.  He's a better player than Head,  by a long way,  now theres a bloke who chucks his wicket away far too easily.
