Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3582995, member: 9052"] Yeah I think that was to address the whole "doesn't play through the offside"... but it may have been at a detriment to his long form game. When he first came in he was ridiculously good at knowing exactly where his off stump was and left everything that he didn't want to play at and then punished bowlers who strayed onto his pads. However, after the criticisms he's now fishing outside his off stump far more and getting nicked off. If Australia had stuck with him as a traditional opener that sees off the new ball, punishes anything on his pads and then scores as the bowlers get tired, then who knows where he could be right now... but he went away probably thinking his time in the test team was done and worked on improving his T20 game, because if he improved that then he can play domestic comps around the world and get paid. I'm surprised at how much his T20 game has improved and he is becoming quite a good anchor for the innings, but I think he mostly takes down the spinners, which is actually great for Australia, except he does it a lot with reverse sweeps and various things... so not always going to work. Still has a bit to work on, but has improved massively compared to where he was originally. [/QUOTE]
