We've a generation of cross bat hacks who can dominate T20 or ODI yet struggle at any venue that isn't dead flat and free of swing.
Not taking anything away from Fernando, the kid is not a bad bowler and I have no idea why Sri Lanka don't play him more, if only we have a few quicks who could keep a seam straight instead of bowling the "mystery ball!"
PS: I've worked out why they call it the mystery ball, because the bowlers have no idea of what they are doing it's all a mystery to them!
Sri Lanka like I keep saying are rubbish and this is their second string attack playing on a freeway, yep they swung the ball early but the average Joe(Burns) had the good sense to leave those wide deliveries alone and built an innings knowing the Lankans would be easy prey after 15 overs and the shine off the ball.....Harris and Khawaja chased wide harmless deliveries, the latter played a disinterested shot with his hand losing its grip on the bat and just doesnt seem too bothered about making runs this summer at all...this stuff with his brother seems to have messed his mind up and he cant focus at all.
Marnus is no 3 or 4 either and should bat around six with Patterson at 3..
