How do blokes make it to test level unable to deal with short pitched bowling, dealing with bouncers by turning their heads away?
FFS, they have hundreds of dollars of high strength carbon fibre or titanium alloy sitting on their head and the best they can do is duck! With that headgear on you could freaking head-butt the ball Kohli style and just laugh it off, but these guys turn away exposing the back of their head to the delivery!
It's just another sign of how far Australian cricket has slipped!
He made it to Test level at 36. Going by his dismissal in the Test match it looked like his "eye" had gone and wasn't picking up the ball as quickly. Age waits for no-one. Ponting had a couple of interesting bizarre-like dismissals late in his career to just before he retired.
Voges started late but made the most of his time at Test level. Father time has caught up with him. Happens to them all.
