In my opinion he is suffering due to the good form of those above him in the order. Good for Aus, bad for Mike. |

Seconded, although a year ago he'd have had Hayden's spot. Wouldn't you just love to have Gilly going in and closing an innings though ? Scary thought really ! |

Another pishpoor performance from Little Miss Cricket yesterday.
It's cos I've got her in my fantasy team I tell you. Loving being the jinx for all Australians. Having said that, I've also got Ponting. Ho hum. (IMG:http://abcofcricket.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

It's not bad form. When he comes in during the last ten overs with a score already on the board then it's time to slog so naturally he's going to get out more often. If the top order fails and Huss comes in to save the day then you won't see him losing his wicket easily.

Batting as low as he does it will happen quite frequently. He has the 2 openers, Punter, Pup and Roy in front of him. If one of them fires and the others form some partnerships then he will be walking out in the last 15 or 10 overs a lot. He'll turn it around he just needs an opportunity and a slice of luck.

Thats right. Thats why he was named Australia's best 1 day batsmen ever by his peers. I'll have some of whatever your smoking. (IMG:http://abcofcricket.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG:http://abcofcricket.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's funny how the public don't always rate players for the important stuff that happens in a team or for the 'unmeasurable' things that happen in a team sport. It's kind of like my arguement about 1 bowler setting up for another, it happens all the time, in everygame. There is no award or statistic etc, it just happens and often it is only the rest of the team that sees it. |
