Have to say, I agree. He seemed to be picked originally for being 'technically correct' rather than naturally gifted. Can't see much of the former at the moment. You could drive a bus between his bat and pad on his current form.
Fantastic effort by Buttler though to nearly get us there. Just too much to do in the end. Top order let the team down again - becoming a regular problem that.
There's no pressure on the bowlers at the top at all, just bowl line and length to Cook and Bell and you'll get away with it. Do that to Finch and Warner in Australia and you'll go at 7 an over.
No idea what's happened, but for you to go to the trouble of digging this out I'm guessing a double century or summat.
Ooh, you're accusing me of googling. I'm going to do that right now... ********. He has. First decent guess I've ever done in me life and there's no way I'll get anyone to believe me as it's too bloody accurate. Might as well just say I did.
Nothing was wrong with him, just a loss of form and playing in an underperforming batting line up that kept shuffling him about.
The mistake was rushing him into opening. He was doing great lower down, and has done well since moving back down. Don't see why he ever has to open.
