Aye

Tom has played 72 tests with 42 averagei think people are getting confused, the filter is on batting at 1 or 2 only, Rod did play 4 tests, 2 of which were at 1 or 2 the other two were not

It was long and unsuccessful. He was just persisted with because he was good at shorter forms. His average his actually worse than it looks and padded against weaker teams.

If ever there was an incentive for Tom to increase his average at opener, surely that's it. Tom "5000 runs as an opener, second only to J Wright", Dad " You're also second as an opener on batting average in this family lol"

Knowing Rocket the first thing he would say was my 2 test average doesn’t stack up to your 72 test average Son.
Humble dude is Rocket. -

It would, Mate Rocket was a very good FB/First five played for Canterbury at Rugby was also a gun at squash and Golf just a natural.
He could hit a golf ball a long long way. -
Sri Lanka.
Look to be well coached, well lead, disciplined bowling plans, scouting opposition batters.
This is what it must be like to have a head coach who isnt just phoning it in?
Our leadership took until their 5th test, and 10th bowling innings to come up with a plan for bowling to bazball.
