If a specialist bat was auditioning for his spot this Test they'd be considered the long-term option. Good stuff.

This thread isn't about Darren Bravo so i don't know why we're even talking about him, but the fact is his test average speaks for it's self and only Clark in this Australian side has better, it's that simple.

Henriques has played well, sure. But he still averages 30 in FC with 1 hundred. And now Aus are pretty much stuck with him for the series as they can't really drop him when most of the other batsmen have performed so badly. Sure he may have a good series. But more likely to be a Shaun Marsh type who played above himself to begin with before reality caught up. Just saying.
They picked him for his all round abilities initially but now they will have to drop one of the other batsmen if they have a change of plan.

has a team been bowled out with no overs from seam bowlers
lyon to slog sweep a few 6s here
Henriques' talent has never been in question and he has a good technique
He has simply taken a while to mature and is coming off his best ever fc season

Well done Ashwin for twin Michelle's in the match.
As for Australia you can't compete against sides when only 3 players in your side do well in a game, if they have a couple more join in and Clarke, Patto and Henriques perform the same as they have done here then they can get back into the series. You do wonder though who the players to step their games up will be.
Their main hope could be that in back to back tests the turnaround in performances is often dramatic and the Clarke Aussie side have a history of bouncing back well from the odd poor game.

Didn't Ponting and Hussey play against SA though?
and an inspired Cummins spell is what made the difference in the away series, he's not around right now though, i also disagree about Dhoni, Lyon kept bowling him pies and Dhoni took full advantage of it, those quality bowlers you named would never have let him get away with some of the risks he was taking. I think it's a confidence things aswell, if Australia are trounced here then their frame of mind won't be in a good place when they head to England, and England are experts at jumping on fragile teams at the moment, especially at home where the crowd will be right up for it too.
