Roy will probably get 2 x 70's in this series and they could be vital knocks in a series with so few good bats.Realistically Roy is a guy who will get the odd quick fifty, not do much otherwise. I'd be a lot more afraid of him if he was batting down the order, same as how Finch bats five in the FC stuff.
India have a good young one but he’s a PedHeadDoes any team have good openers these days? I'd be overjoyed if we regularly had 22 opening partnerships.
People were saying that about Finch vs India. Neithe rof them are up to it - their techniques are terribleRoy will probably get 2 x 70's in this series and they could be vital knocks in a series with so few good bats.
He's bit like Cummins in that he used to have a beautiful outswinger then lost it. I think the action changes due to injury must have made it harder, although one would forget how to swing the ball bowling with a kookaburra in Australia anyway, because it never moves regardless.Pattinson is more McGrath-ish than I remembered. I thought he was more about the shape away but it's the accuracy+bounce that's standing out.

Don't know if those opinions add up, once he's got to 50 it'll be much like coming in at 5. I can see him making the odd big score but constantly exposing the middle order to the new ball would be a problem.Realistically Roy is a guy who will get the odd quick fifty, not do much otherwise.
