Yes I mean the last time we played your batsman looked scared of Pattinson.
When he is batting in the same position as Trott and Amla then he has to deliver performances comparable to those players. It's a sad indictment on australian cricket that Hughes has been the man to bat in our most important position, we need a guy whose numbers can be compared to those players and come across as at least respectable in comparison.
Get a clue merkinA part of me actually thinks it would be better to follow on. We need to get back out there again and try to undo this mess asap. Getting to within 190 and then fielding for 2 days while they get a lead of 500+ is the last thing we need.
I hope we're all out down by 201, getting back in there and get 300+ and having something to bowl to.
I know his not the greatest player or most talented but George Bailey has to be worth a look in. His got to be better then some of the rubbish this lot have dished up plus he can bat at both 3/4 or lower in the order if required.as far as I am concerned I don't care if they are the most talented batsmen in the country, I want the 5 batsmen that have the best application towards there batting at the crease to support Clarke.
