STOINIS IS THE MAN
This whole summer I think the selectors were looking for Stoinis to play a smart innings, especially in red-ball cricket.
Not just make 30, look fantastic, slog a few and get out and not tough it out.
That to me says they’ve been looking for some match awareness from him and some tough runs.
I agree with that, but what I think the selectors are missing is Stoinis brings a lot more to the table than just bat and ball.
He’s got a lot of intensity, he’s got that X-factor about him and he’s a matchwinner.
He’s one of those players who has the ability to drag the team with him.
Stoinis has got character and spirit about him, a bit like a Merv Hughes or an Andrew Flintoff or a Darren Gough.
Marcus Stoinis provides that X-factor. I know it’s just a Twenty20 game, but who was the man the Melbourne Stars turned to with the ball against Brisbane on Sunday and got it done?
In a tough situation and in a must-win game, Stoinis gets 4-21, thank you very much.
It wasn’t just the wickets either, it was the way he did and when he did it.
I know it’s only Twenty20, and it’s nothing like a Test match, but he will adapt because he’s a quality player.
The higher the standard the better he plays — in Shield cricket I know his records aren’t great, but I think it’s a bit easier for him and that’s why he makes mistakes.
I think he needs to be tested and challenged, and he’ll prove how good he is at Test level.
