Ervine averages an embarrassingly low 35. He is expendable so the world class Vusi can bat at his rightful #4 position, score 7 runs in each innings and propel the team to unsurpassed heights.jaybro wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 12:48 amIn the other thread you said Ervine "looked like a dear in the head lights" facing Roach and Gabriel, now you're saying he should open ??

Actually, I definitely put Mire on a pedestal.CrimsonAvenger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 11:06 amNo one here has put Mire on a pedestal. That is why that comment is misleading and distasteful - also towards Ervine, if you choose to see through his sadistic comment. Mire is getting a chance, like any other. I'm not saying he deserves a go ahead of others and many others have debated bringing Chamu in his pace, etc. So, he is not an unquestionable choice. But if people are going to get a chance, which the selectors have given, they must get a fair deal, not just try one off and throw them away. The world would not witnessed what Marvan Attapattu was made of if he was thrown away after his first 4 tests.
But I still maintain if you can get a ton in ODIs you can get a Test ton. It'll take him a bit of time to adjust but I think his time is Oz will stand him in good stead. He was designated as an opener and IMO he now needs to knuckle down, and be properly coached as a Test opener. If the deck keeps getting shuffled then the players normally perform worse. Hami is a case in point - he's been moved around like a bloody yo yo! And his figures have suffered as a result.
