Stickability

"Just occupy the crease" is the mantra the Black Collapse are chanting as they enter the second test at the Basin Reserve. In John Wright and Glen Turner they have two zen masters when it came to not playing a loose shot. I can't help thinking however, that something might get lost in the translation between generations and we may see batsman channeling the shot happy Turner of the early eighties.

If we have really reached a point where James Franklin is considered the answer at Number 3, Wright and/or Turner might be better off to just put the pads on themselves.
