If and when the South Africa series takes place surely it is time to move Wade on.

No Shield cricket so no form to go on.

Keep going back to Head ?

What other options are their ? M Marsh

Henriques , Maddinson , McDermott , Wildermuth from the A Squad

with Green & Pucovski trying to establish themselves can we have a completely new player ?

Such a brain dead shot/ decision that then exposed both Green & Paine to the new ball v Bumrah - complete lack of game awareness.

Probably go back to Head given the lack of options, no other standouts currently.

It was almost like "drop me from opening" then take that.

Dumb

Back to Head they go again for the 4th Test wherever that is going to be.

So good watching the guys around playing at the moment (all currently below 100 Matches each)
Root, Smith, Taylor, Kohli, Warner, & Williamson

How they compare to guys like Sobers, how far ahead Bradman was.
I was looking at Williamson and GChappell today, seeing how close their figures are - amazing
other than Bradman, the one that stands out is Steve Smith.

Did you see the stat on how many Innings for 27 centuries , Bradman took 70 Innings.

Ponting , Tendulkar , Gavaskar , Kohli etc closer to 140.

Smudge 137

Truly Bradman must have been a freak.

Try calculating his runs if he had as many Innings as Border did.

Every time I see Bradman in a table like that you just think they have missed something out.

Incredible he is so far ahead.

Hammond & Sobers "only" averaged 58 & 57 and he is 40+ on average than them.

Obviously Pollock & Richards never appear or Headley.
