He struggles to dominate pura cup attacks
He is a very good solid accuMALator of runs at domestic level
That style of batting might stop him getting selected at the highest level
JAQUES/WATSON/HODGE are more fluent and can play o/d cricket as well
That might give them preference overall when selecting squads on o/seas tours
If ROGERS got a game before HODGE that would be unjust
Horses for courses v SRI LANKA
HODGE is the best player of spin of the above quartet
JAQUES is ok
ROGERS /WATSON would struggle against quality spinners
This will be HUSSEYs greatest challenge as he is unproven against quality spinners
What does playing One Day Cricket have to do with getting a game in the Test Side? Langer was not playing OD cricket and he had no problem making runs or getting selected.
IMO neither Hodge or Watson are openers and i think the selectors should give a specialist opener first crack.
I was unaware that you have to dominant attacks to be a decent test player? Surely Chris Rogers should get first crack after his stellar year last year.
What would you rather Fluency or Runs?
Last year's Pura Cup Stats
Rogers 17 1202 70.71 279 7 3
Jaques 21 987 47 192 5 3
Those Stats are for Innings, Runs, Average, Highest Score, 50's and 100's
