At a time when Australia needed a senior batsman to lead from the front and make a big total, he goes fishing 10 inches from off stump. He has not done anything in the last 3 test matches to support his overall test average.
He's had two dodgy decisions and made a 60 in the first test. Aside from the fact that he nearly won the Allan Boarder medal has to go for something. He dug Australia out many times over the past few years.
