Don't judge Casson by his numbers ... yet

The figures don’t look good for Beau Casson in his first Test for Australia, but Alex Brown says in the Sun-Herald it was a promising performance.

Save for a pair of catches - one a spectacular, diving effort to remove the West Indies captain Chris Gayle - the rookie spinner had little to show for his day in the field, finishing with an unflattering 0-43 from seven overs.

But delve a little deeper, and there are signs that Casson is capable of performing at the elite level.

Doug Walters used to have a small stand named after him at the SCG, but with the construction of the new Victor Trumper Stand all he gets is a room. Walters’ wife tells the Sun-Herald the family is not happy.
