LOL...why yes, I do. I also mean the same Mitchell Johnson with 6 first class 50's, including two Test match 50's hitting quick runs down the order, and who averaged 30 odd in his last year of international cricket. Are you implying he can't bat? :lol: Don't pretend to have a clue if you don't, 'kay?
First class scores and test scores dont always = success in ODI cricket

He can bat, but coming in at 6/220 with 8 overs left in an ODI is different to coming in at the end of a long day in the field for the opposition and more attacking fields so more chances for boundaries

SO essentially you're saying that being able to bat doesn't always mean succes with the bat? Right....

nobody mentioned Haddin you geniused f**k

Except the person who wrote the word Haddin I assume?

Like right here in the post I replied to.

Funny how the Victorians have left Warner alone today, It's Haddins turn today..........

I even made it red for you as I know facts are hard for you to read and all.

I'm saying being an alright tailender doesnt mean you can bat well at the death of an ODI just because you can in a test match

Well everyone seems to say the victorians success at domestic cricket means nothing, so why would his first class record mean much more here?

Lucky for me Victoria are good at all of them this year.
To bad they are not good at the one that counts, test cricket. Unfortunately in that game there is not a bucket of the Colonels finest in sight............ Remind me who won the Sheild Final last year???????? When the Blues finally had some players back :?

LOL. So being a good tail ender doesn't mean you can be a good tailender? He has a great technique, a good eye, and a pair of Test match 50's. Hussey and Hopes should have trusted him. They didn't, and as a result 280-300 turned into 269

Because two of those first class 50's are in Test matches...?

And the other four aren't, my point is that if domestic runs don't count for Victorians they don't count for him... Also not to mention the fact that he can take all the time he likes in a test match to make 50 runs.
And its all a moot point anyway he went out for 10.
