Have to agree slightly with whuffer here, I think his innings was a large contributing factor to us winning that test.
He was a flash in the pan thing though, everyone at my Boxing day luncheon was talking about that innings, even those that don't generally watch or follow cricket. Overnight success but the style is/was unsustainable.
And FWIW, I don't think he'll play test cricket again.RB wrote:
I think he's at least a pass mark - in fact I'll say a success - for the India tests. The Melbourne knock, and then his two 20-odds in Sydney when others were failing were actually quite important in a low-scoring match, being only his second test.
Definitely failed since then though. Perhaps the Redbacks can play him into form...
If we're deeming two knocks and a Test win before "And FWIW, I don't think he'll play test cricket again" a success then I need to change how I deem something being successful.
We're completely lost at the top of the order before a 5 Test Ashes series, 3 weeks from the first Test we don't know which player we're either recycling, batting out of position or debuting all with a 38 year at the other end who we also need to replace. Great success!
Eh? I said he was successful in that test, no point in twisting my words to try and mock me.
I've read my comment several times and it reads the same each time, nowhere I have written that he has had a successful test career.
