batting behind cricket fantastic justin match mean test
It doesn't mean he's finished. Also we'd like him to concentrate on his long-form-of-the-game batting and reignite that partnership that he has with Justin Langer because, after all, in Test match cricket they've been fantastic in being the cornerstone behind a lot of big scores.

Michael has been bowling fractionally better than Jason but it could have been an either-or call. He's been doing well in all sorts of conditions and is ready after losing form in England. Shaun offers that bit of oomph and if required he can provide some extra punch.
