Yes he bats at either 6 or 7 for Victoria and thats the spot for Australia Im talking about.

An older head who doesn't panick

I haven't seen Cam White bat in the longer form for a couple if years I reckon. What's his defence like? I know he has all the shots and shot selection was pretty good so I'd have him in too.

Part of the successful solution is Peter Handscomb. Averaging 99.75 after 4 tests with 399 runs, with two fifties and two centuries.

This "bringing in batsmen who will bat properly" selection policy has been a boon.its confounded the oppossition. It's much better than that phase we went through where we were only selecting batsmen who threw their wicket away in the 20s.

I don't know how he does it because he barely moves his feet. It should be pretty simple, keep throwing the ball up. Sure he might hit you square of the wicket for four a few times or if he's particularly good drove you down the ground but the law of averages says that eventually a ball will move a teensy bit, beat the bat and bowl him. Any sort of late movement should nick him over. But it doesn't. He just keeps motoring on and on and on smacking the ball down the ground, through square leg and somehow doesn't get bowled. He's a force of nature.
