Wes used to be a dynamite fielder. Reckon he was high in the field today or something?
Or not :lol:

Bennett let off there. He is one of those players that has luck fall his way quite often. It's invaluable :lol:

My uncle always used to say its better to be lucky than good!


Not that he's not good.

Welch should be playing ahead of Marumani and Campbell ahead of Madhevere. It's a no brainer, but what can I say!?

I'd persevere with Marumani. There are plenty of other weak links.

For how long? And how is it doing him any good?

Bennett looking totally out of sorts today. Couple of nice shots there by Myers, that too against Rashid.

He got a start in 5 of 6 matches vs Pakistan, which is progress. He isn't going backwards.

Also not the sort of guy who's head will go I don't think. Very confident guy.

I'd also persevere.

What ZC will likely do is keep persevering with some guys because they feel they've invested (i use that term loosely) so much time in them. They will use the excuse that the next blokes might also need 50-100 games :lol:
Which is possible of course. This is tough cricket.

I don't agree. He has been given way too many opportunities and has yet failed to cement his place in the side. Welch or Curran deserve a chance ahead of him.

Nothing to do with them being white. I'm genuinely saying this because they are the ones in form.
