Our batting has been very, very sloppy and lazy against a third string attack. I expect India to make a bazillion on this deck.
Warner has always been a questionable opening proposition with his hard handed technique. He has gotten away with it for a long time on our decks where he can just throw his hands at it through the line with lightning bat speed, but if it moves he's over committed and can't adjust. Now that he's 33 and not picking it up as fast he's not doing it here either.... And picking him for OS tours like the Ashes 2022 is a big risk. Yes, he's been entertaining but the end is coming fast. He has been done a major disservice by the ACB because you can't find form at test level, you find it playing long form. Without four day games leading in how did he expect to fare ?
Another bloke under the pump is Starc. His lead in was average and his test series underwhelming. Again, why is he an automatic selection? Surely it's not just because he's from NSW?
