Question for Cyc? What sort of wrap does Tomic get back in Aus? Is he viewed as a national embarrassment or a talented but misguided kid? His effort against Tsonga today was lamentable. I don't know why he bothers with tennis because he clearly isn't arsed. £45k for 58 mins strolling about. That'll be why he 'bothers' I suppose.
I don't think too many people are embarrassed as Australians that one of us seems to tank matches, but he is seen for what he is. He has heaps of talent but little between the ears when it comes to internal fortitude. Put the blow torch on him and he doesn't seem to be able to take it. As soon as Tsonga started thumping down those aces, he went to water.
In the after game presser, he said he played bad, but tried as hard as he could. It sounds like he wallows in his own misery and convinces himself that he put in an effort. I wouldn't want him standing beside me in the trenches.
The middle order have been poor red - seemed to be thinking they need to push all the time but it is all about getting in and playing shots, getting the 1s, 2s, 3s. Some cheap wickets given away too. Rashid doing a nice cameo job now, might get us to 300 yet.
Looking good now lads - don't bet silly, bet savvy
Kiwis just making sure now that they protect their NRR
