    Two good shots an innings does not an international batsman make.

    It's almost like the press are trying to save his career because they've pushed him for the spot and now he's averaging something like 10, so they keep highlighting the 'two boundaries he's hit' and not the 'soft outside edge prod to cover fieldsman'. Sure, he can hit the ball now and again, but we need people who can play an innings, not hit a couple of boundaries now and again -- it's cricket, not baseball.

    The guy has done absolutely nothing to deserve his spot apart from having the right surname. That he is in ahead of Hodge is an absolute travesty.
    You do realize I'm talking ODI's right? Where he's got the 2 70's as opposed to 'two boundaries' (is that referring to his last match or Shield season?)

      I doubt even the media want him back now.
