Next generation Test batsmen

[ObieWan]

Let's judge a player on one game shall we. That seems smart...

As it stands Lynn averages 13+ more runs (47.80 vs 34.29) so he's got some catching up to do.

???

 

[ObieWan]

Lynn's average is boosted heavily by not-outs, too.

Given he bats at 4 this is a positive thing. Not everyone throws their wicket away like Big Maxxy.

Pencil Neck.

 

[SouthSwans]

Yikes no more Wade please we have seen enough poor catching.

I'll rephrase that… I like Wade's batting.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Pencil Neck.

Badly-handled forceps delivery

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Pencil Neck.

Was bored last night and compiled this. Not the best I know but makes for interesting viewing.

Yeah. Fascinating.

When does it come out on IMAX?

Shows that there are more deserving batsmen than Finch and Marsh in the test team.

 

[Kram]

lmao

 

[bird_man]

Did that dude get banned for making an awful looking graph that made no sense?

Harsh, but fair I suppose.

 

[The Passenger]

If Chris Lynn averages any less than 992 next summer then I'm going to very disappointed

 

[davis_756]

Does that graph have finch averaging 50 in shield cricket? I am a bit surprised

 

[Allezjuel]

Anyone remember when Usman Khawaja was the next great test batsman? Many childhood prodigies don't make it big so it's hard to pick at this stage.

 

[Phone]

It's got him averaging 50 in one season, which is still surprising

Bit rough on a bloke who was next in line for the test team 2 months ago before destroying his knee.

Yeah a bit harsh, before he did his knee though I don't think he lived up to the expectations placed on him, he's been in and out of the Australian side so many times. Hopefully he can make it one day

He's had one Shield dig this season and scored 53.

I wish he had an extended run at number 3, he's really been shafted by our selectors over the years.

No

I wish he had a go somewhere other than 3.

Kawajah has played about 10 tests, mostly at #3 and they have been against a rampant England seam attack in 2010, the worlds best pace attack SA in 2011 and then again against a quality England attack away from home in 2013. I imagine it would love a series at home against India/Sri Lanka in the middle order to cash in like everyone else!

He has been as poorly treated by selectors as anyone.

 

[Kram]

Khawaja has been given an ordinary run by selectors because he simply isn't very good..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Khawaja was a fraction unlucky but he was horrible against spin as well. Plus he can't rotate the strike at all and hurts his chances

 

[ROOTA#6]

From what I saw just seemed to lack intensity or something...not sure what it was but he didn't look quite right to me

 

[western royboy]

I'm a Randwick player at heart, but to be fair Ussie has had chances and hasn't grasped them that well. I don't think he was anywhere near being selected before he injured his knee.
