I think the problem is that he doesn't appear to know his role. When he came back into the team in 2018 (as a specialist no.7!) Ed smith talked about him bringing his white ball game to test matches and being the "flashing blade" to finish off the innings. The issue is, that he isn't doing that. He seems to be trying to play "properly" and he just doesn't have the technique for that game against the red ball. I'd rather he came in and just swung his arms. Scratching around for 15 or 20 runs isn't doing anyone any favours. He looks mentally shotIt’s a fair challenge. And he hasn’t kept badly.
43 tests in now. Averaging just over 31. Is it dreadful? No. But we have options. And I’m afraid he doesn’t look like influencing many tests.
Tim Paine is widely assumed to be a dreadful option, he averages more than Jos now
Yeah. Gerard. But he's an actorDoes Jos have a brother at all?
