Bracken and Tait have been excellent. On Tait I would bowl him less on those middle spells where he doen't seem to understand his role as well.
He has been genuinely intimidating with the new ball. He has also been dangerous at the death when he gets reverse and bowls fast yorkers. Has generally picked up a valuable wicket at that stage.
He could have done anything last night if the first two catches are taken.
Worst fielder in first class cricket in Australia, but if yo create 3-4 wicket chances in your 10 overs it is pretty handy.
Johnson will improve and actually bowled some brilliant deliveries last night.
Rotation policy - am I correct that 3 of our main bowlers last night didn;t play the last game, plus there was a longer break between games. Nt sure that helped.
Why did D Hussey not bowl one over? Did we not watch the SA bowling innings where the slow bowlers did all the damage? We bowled our fast bowlers at Herschelle with the new ball when he loves it comingon and moving away from him, and their fast bowles all bowled beter with the older ball?
The tactics were as brainless as the batting.
TBH personnel didn't cost us as much as dumb cricket last night.
It's a decent squad. Need a proper spinner, and need to understand that D Hussey is actually a better bowler than Hauritz anyway.
