I don't think that necessarily fair, MiJo's main frustration is that while he's a pie-chucking liability 90% of the time when he turns it on he is a genuine pants-passingly unplayable fast bowler. whether that was the case today... ehhhh

Also: yay we won a Test! Still don't think that we'll win the series, but it's nice to see a win for a change. Fingers crossed that Warner keeps his head in and bats well, as I think he's our best talent behind Clarke. And hopefully this isn't a once in a million performance from MiJo it is

history says once every 18 months, but they usually last for most of a series

He played a few innings a number of years ago that were a touch slow for the circumstances. He certainly hasn't done that for a bit.

my lasting memory of him was a few years ago during a test where SA were killing it and just needed to tee off in the last innings to chase down the fairly small required total and he came out and blocked everything. that said, i used to have an avatar of him in the shower so there is that

Why did they bother taking him on tour in the first place? Swann was bowling terribly and not even contributing with the bat, but they still only picked Monty because he retired. Then just bowl him for 17 overs, out of over 130 in the match, including bowling Root ahead of him on the final day when the game was still winnable - not once but twice! Then drop him at the SCG, traditionally the best ground to bowl spin on in Australia, for a debutant that wasn't even in the original squad. It just doesn't make sense to have him in the set up if you clearly don't fancy him as a player to the extent that they treat him like that.
