There is something to what you say, but it doesn’t completely stand up.
He easily has the best average of the big four against South Africa.
But against Australia and India he’s the worst of the four, again…pretty considerably.
66 average at home with a low 40’s average away.
37 average against Straya.
38 against India.
40 against the poms.
Don’t get me wrong, minnow bashing is still an artform and I actually appreciate it a little more now that we have nobody in the team who reliably can do it, but it absolutely puts you down a peg from the greats.
Wonder if the ECB slipped the “you must immediately “ Letter under the wrong captains door
That article says he would have scored much more if given the opportunities to play as many test matches as the other 3. Root has played 54 more, but Kohli and Smith only 13 more. So a bit of mayo on that article.
He did say minnows
Renshaw our best bowler this series
This is about the least profile Aussie tour you’ll ever see, which is reflected in the lack of comments on here but good to see Copper Connolly going well in this game.
the overseas episodes of “adam zampa gets shitcarted everywhere” don’t really have the same exotic appeal as overseas episodes of, say, “the brady bunch”, discounting how formulaic and repetitive both shows are
That’s a significant moment for Connolly.
He’s definitely got something about him and this will help build his self belief now as an international player.
Well done young man.
Playing very well but collapsed with exhaustion after running a 2. Very stylish batsmen
Just realised he’s not bowling at the moment due to a back injury. I clearly don’t follow the IPL where it seems he had some decent scores.
Expecting a little uptick in form from Green now Cooper has announced himself as a genuine player. The mantle of carrying your nation’s sporting hopes on your shoulders I reckon has been a heavy burden to carry for Cam Green. Hopefully Connolly can score consistently which will spur Green on and back into regularly good performances as well here on end . ![]()
On a tour of Bangladesh, I don’t reckon there would be a hell of a lot of interest for an Australian touring squad outside of game day lol
Can’t imagine the WAGS would be rushing over either
Don’t you hate that @Jackdaw
Bangladesh isn’t the worst place to visit but it’s up there ![]()
Don’t think there would be too many places as bad as Dhaka
Aĥhh .. shizenhousen .
I will dishonourably withdraw from thread.
And maybe a few others now I seem to have brought in the kiss of death so to speak ![]()
Can Green needs big scores soon. Ditto Marnus. The next generation looks promising
Peake with 21 off 25 so far with a lovely 6. He looks like a future gun.
Cooper goes 6.6.6
