It's obvious that the Aussies are already worried about him. They keep coming up with any old rubbish to suggest he won't hack it. First of all it was how the Aussie attack is far better than the Saffers so he wouldn't score any runs against them. Now he's proved that's not the case they're trying to suggest he can't play spin. Getting worried already, it's quite amusing. If his footwork and temperament against spin bowling ("swinging compulsively") weren't up to it then he wouldn't have scored all those runs against the Zone teams in India's Premier competition.
