Definitely not. Surprising comment from a big fan.

I admire how hard he has worked to recover from injury and now to fix his technique. I like his aggression on the field, and find him to be more than gracious when on the losing end [which is to say I disagree strongly with the media's characterization of his personality].

But injury is no longer an excuse. Focus seems to be the only issue now, best he go back to Shield.

Was out shopping and missed all the action. Highlights should be amusing. When I saw the 5 in 5 overs from Johnson and lol'd. England batting having a laugh.

Everyone in test cricket bats for their average in these situations. What you should really be doing is batting 30 overs and trying to put on 200 but no one in test cricket is willing to take the risk to step up the pace, especially when they could be dropped with a failure.

Yeah, they just need to play normally. Watson may have been batting to the captain's plan. Rodgers is a bit suspect early on. So, although it looks stupid it is a stupid situation.

What we need to do is just bat some overs out, wear them down and give our bowlers are rest. Runs are a total irrelevancy here.
