Bit harsh on the kid. Not a great technique but 3 100's and 3 50's from his first 15 tests. Believe he was the 4th quickest Aussie to get to 1000 runs.
Definately has his faults but far from worst ever.
Ok maybe a bit harsh. But name one worse in the last 30 years?????? I couldn't think of anyone...
Off the top of my head
Andrew Hilditch
Matthew Elliott
Phil Jaques
Wayne Phillipps(the bald midget, not the keeper)
Probably a few others, Geoff Marsh's record wasnt great either. Reckon he only averaged low 30's and made only 4 or 5 centuries from 50+ tests.
He said one jim
