Ones a class above and the other has played a pile of red ball cricket recently.
Playing red ball before test cricket? That’s a novelty isn’t it!
Test is all about a) being good enough and b) adapting ones your weaknesses are found out.
Marnus hasn’t had a weakness discovered yet. See how he gets on when one is found. But for now he seems a pretty decent player.
Smith was nowhere near the player he was now, he’s adopted and improved and learnt what he needs to do in his style.
Burns was looking good earlier this series, but Aussies seem to have exploited a weakness, if he can find a way round thy he can be around a while.
Stokes has improve ten fold, he’s a much better test batsman now than he ever was. He’s adapted. Let’s hope his average goes up to show that. As he’s much better than the 35 he’s currently averaging.
Hopefully root has come out fo this bad spot. See if he scores runs rest of series, if he does he’ll be captain a while.
If this is the only
Score he gets, be interesting if he steps down or is sacked as we need him to score runs and his weakness currently is being captain.
