Bowlers Been Getting Aus Out Of Jail; Middle-order Numbers Are Not Great: Finch
Around The Wicket: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes that the side's bowling attack has been bailing the team out of tough situations in their Test matches of the international home summer, adding that the numbers of the middle-order batters don’t make for a great look.
In the Tests at home, Australia had a 3-0 series win over Pakistan and even won the Adelaide Test by ten wickets. But in the second Test against the West Indies at The Gabba in Brisbane, Australia suffered a collapse of 8/94 in a chase of 216, thus suffering a shock eight-run loss to the visitors’.
"Think the bowlers have been the ones who have got them out of jail a few times, but also Usman Khawaja…and Mitch Marsh is also pulling his weight in that regard. They're not great numbers for a middle order that I think have got some much talent. The hundreds column is a concern for me. Guys are getting starts, and that's reflected in the numbers, it's not like they're averaging six," said Finch to ESPN's Around The Wicket show.
