So many batsmen get out to drag-downs by spinners.
Marnus got a couple the other day. His bowling performance was better than his batting performance.
Last night, it was Maxwell's turn to hole out to Turner off a drag-down.
Oz batsmen are atrocious at spin (though Maxwell is supposed to be one exception).

Philippe is a flat-track bully. In fairness to him, he is a wicketkeeper. I do not have any views on his keeping at the moment. The problem is, Carey is the anointed next keeper, so if Philippe is to play at international level it has to be as a specialist batsman.
Philippe gets loads of runs, but against the best bowling he has failed. When there was some swing for Worrall, Philippe played and missed 6 times in 10 balls (and was out on the 11th). I don't understand how that can happen. You'd think after the first few air swings, he'd adjust or try something different... I can understand if they were different balls. They weren't! The commentators said Worrall can bowl inswing too, but he was just bowling the same outswinger in the same place ball after ball. And Philippe was just swishing at air ball after ball like a Neanderthal. Brad Hodge said Philippe and co were not up to the challenge "technically or mentally". In Nick's speak, that means Philippe and co are flat-track bullies with nothing between their ears.
In another game, Rashid Khan came on and bowled him.
And against the Scorchers, Behrendorff exploited his technical faults and had him caught at slip.
