He aint a good player in England or on the sub continent.
He averages 37 in England. That's not what you call a good average for an opener, and it clearly comes back to how hard he goes at the ball.
He plays the ball out in front of his head, not under his eyes.
In India he averages 24. He has no plan and no idea about playing the percentages, and his two outs last test were prime examples.
Sri Lanka his average is 27.
Yes in South Africa he goes well because the conditions are similar to Australia.
He has made 17 out of 18 hundreds in Australia and South Africa
