    Wow, I’m genuinely shocked that Martin Guptill who had what I’ve always thought of as a short and unsuccessful test career is sixth !!

    Rod Latham averages more than Tom!!!

    If ever there was an incentive for Tom to increase his average at opener, surely that's it. Tom "5000 runs as an opener, second only to J Wright", Dad " You're also second as an opener on batting average in this family lol"

    Knowing Rocket the first thing he would say was my 2 test average doesn’t stack up to your 72 test average Son.
    Humble dude is Rocket.

    you would know better than I would and from what I've heard from him I would agree, would be a funny dig though..

    It would, Mate Rocket was a very good FB/First five played for Canterbury at Rugby was also a gun at squash and Golf just a natural.
    He could hit a golf ball a long long way.

    This partnership needs to be a big one or we are going to be 100 plus behind on the first innings.
    Sri Lanka quicks have bowled really well pitched it up great length and found lots of movement a bit of a lesson for some of our quicks.

    Sri Lanka.

    Look to be well coached, well lead, disciplined bowling plans, scouting opposition batters.

    This is what it must be like to have a head coach who isnt just phoning it in?

    Our leadership took until their 5th test, and 10th bowling innings to come up with a plan for bowling to bazball.

    He says the buck stops at the top for a "stale" and ageing side that's struggling to win.

    @Bovidae I'm out of patience with Nicholls.

    Mitch at 4, Phillips at 5.

    If that doesn't help Henry score a 2nd innings ton, I don't know what will! 🙂

    It was long and unsuccessful. He was just persisted with because he was good at shorter forms. His average his actually worse than it looks and padded against weaker teams.

    Guppy should have played 5 or 6 in tests.

    I am happy to be wrong about him. I did not think he would be this successful.
