The Marsh's form line has been poor for a while. Our players have to stop relying on home results and develop sound techniques for all conditions.
Khawaja has made a step forward in that area. But the Marsh boys appear to be making the same errors and carry the same technical flaws.... They are slow learners and test level is not the place to learn technique.
A long term average at FC level of what, 35, says you are a mediocre player at best. Stats don't lie in this case.
I don't want to see the classic selection scenario of carrying these blokes through another poor series, then they get home and make runs which means they get in another OS tour... Where they are hopelessly deficient again.
If you cant make runs reliably (reflected by a career batting average of at least 40) I'd be trying somebody else. Score lines that read something like 0 1 0 5 178 0 2 6 0 125 isn't what a team can build around and is why Maxwell was overlooked.
