Looked out straight away but yeah I thought that delivery spun and bounced more according to ball tracking than it looked like it would of!Armchair expert wrote:Green out to some ball tracking nonsense
Might be bowling again today at this rate

84 run partnership broken FFS.
Can't see Starc blocking the spinners too much.
I seem to recall posting stats here when he'd played a few tests showing that he was about on par with previous long-term Australian test keepers at that stage of their respective careers.Lightning McQueen wrote:The Dark Knight wrote:Didn't score down the ground/in the V in his innings.Armchair expert wrote:Stick to the sweeps Alex

After having the mockers put on him initially Carey has now taken his batting average up over 30, not bad considering it was 16.8 after his first 8 innings (and that included a 51).
He has averaged a tad under 55 in his last 5 tests

World beater at home, bunny away from our soil in test matches. Oddly I feel like he has done ok in away ODI’s but can transition that form in test matches.

Agreed, I think you should wait until the end of these two tests to make that kind of assessment on Head Whufc, let's see how he goes over his next 2/3 innings first?Lightning McQueen wrote:whufc wrote:What to do with Trav

You love to sink the boots in early mate, we're winning and he has credits in the bank.
I'm not a fan of a few of the players but I actually feel as though we have got it right atm, we have good balance and they seem to take turns in stepping up when it matters.

Has he batted enough away from home to make that call yet?
8, 23, 11*, 26 and 6 - 74 @ 18.5 is ugly reading, but I'm not sure it's all that bad.
In comparison, Labuschange has 90, 44, 0, 36, 0, 13 in the same time - 183 @ 30.5, but take out the 90 and it's slim pickings.

Huh
Howstat website has him playing 17 innings overseas at an average of 25. Only two scores over fifty.
I’m worried for him. Can’t help but feel McDonald might stupidly want to play his Victorian mate Maxwell over there.
I think his slipped behind Green as the ‘first in line’ batsmen to go if selectors decide to make a change. Just feel like his never been able to 100% nail his spot in the side.
