20 not out off 120 odd balls is exactly what we need when the top 3 were back in the pavilion without troubling the scorecard......occupying the crease and making the bowlers bowl to you not making silly mistakes.
Yes scoring may be slow but he is not giving his wicket away easily. Only bowlers after him.

i understand that but he did it last week when we batted first and were going alright, what is the excuse for that?

Cross bat slogging hasn't traditionally worked in the shield
You can't expect a bloke to come in at 7 and try and hit every ball over cow corner
That's all he did in the big bash, batted like a para districts cricketer but got lucky and was helped by flat decks, field restrictions, hard balls and tiny boundaries

Can't even come close to comparing the two
Also don't see Glen Maxwell leaving one on middle in the Shield either
3/2 5/103 9/293 lunch Great recovery , well done And another last wicket partnership to piss off the opposition 44 unbroken by Dan Frankie Worrall and Joe Mennie , following the match saving Zampa/Putland 67 run partnership 2nd dig v WA last week

I'd rather him at the crease than not. Longer at the crease, that's one less batsman under pressure down the line. If we were a team in a better position, then I'd be more acerbic.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

He obviously bats a lot more defensive in shield cricket regardless of the situation

I thinks it's pretty fair to suggest despite not scoring a lot of runs the extra time Ludeman batted helped enable the likes of Mennie, Zampa and Worrall to put on the runs they did
ffs
or last 102 overs!
