Australia vs Pakistan 2016, 2nd Test, Day 4: 5 talking points

#3 Time running out for Maddinson

Maddinson has rarely batted at no.6 and may need time to get used to the shift

Nic Maddinson's Test career stats thus far look pathetic. But such has been the situation in which he has come out to bat each time that he has rarely had time to settle down and play a proper innings.

He wasn't helped by the fact that he was faced with some world class seamers so far and each of them have managed to produce their best delivery against him. While Maddinson will have ample reasons to tell for his lack of runs, the call remains with the Australian selectors ahead of the third Test and an Indian series.

While his first class record is more than decent, Maddinson has rarely batted at no.6 and may need time to get used to the shift. But with all-rounder Cartwright waiting in the wings and Voges always an experienced option to turn back to, he may find himself out of the Test squad for India.
