He really struggles technically imo. Very difficult to change the way you play at that age and the way he plays is not up to scratch at test level. Ditto Finch and Handscomb.
There is basically no talent in Australia that isn't suspended atm. We shouldn't be selecting specialist batsman who don't look like they can make a test 100 (or even 50). Irrespective of current form, guys like Renshaw and Maxwell have at least looked comfortable at the next level. It's also why I prefer tolerating the Marsh brothers to the other alternatives.
