Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2669011, member: 8272"] They're terrible examples. Warner was 27 and couldn't make the Shield side at all. He got into the Test team via T20 for Australia. Smith was 20 when he made his debut as a leg spinner and was then dropped for 2 years. Hughes was 19 playing Shield, but couldn't nail down a Test spot at all. Usman has played 9 Tests in 4 years and can't get in the team. Clarke and before him Ponting are the only successful young batsmen we've had in the last 30 years. We have a terrible track record with young batsmen, even Ponting and Clarke got dropped but most of our batsmen don't show Test form till they're late 20's or early 30's. Smith has sorted himself out now and is in great form at 25, but need to wait 10 years for it to pan out. [/QUOTE]
