Australia joins Zimbabwe

[Senile Sentry]

In the list of test nations not featuring a single player averaging above 40 with the bat (based on last XI featured)

Seriously, what's happening to this once great team? Whatever be the circumstances, not a single player other than poor old Clarke who's capable of delivering it with the bat?

All this is because Cribb pointed out Vijay is not thought of highly ftr.

Should've picked Dane Tilse tbh. Starceh proving height gives you the hitting power to survive, so it seems the logical next step.

 

[Prince EWS]

Tilse clearly the answer.

 

[benchmark00]

Wouldn't play a reverse sweep early in his innings, that's for sure.

 

[Dan]

Not to mention he's the right side of 30, and his FC average isn't sitting in the 30s.

Dunno if he'd look at home at international level though.

Yeah Nasir actually averages over 40 in both Tests and ODIs I think. Hasn't played a lot yet though.

 

[benchmark00]

No room for Tilse in the Australian top order.

Couldn't possibly replace someone who did this

Just checked cricbuzz. Nasir, mominul and abul hasan are all 40+
Hilarious

Haha did you read that exchange? He's not kidding.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Soft.

dane tilse has the same amount of test centuries as ajinkya rahane and ravindra jadeja

Looks comfortable at international level too.
