#2 Finch under pressure

One batsman who would really be under the pump has to be Aaron Finch. It's been a long long time since he has actually put in a sizeable contribution to the team's total (Finch's last few scores in his last 11 innings have been 5,41,11,7, 27,0, 28, 0 and 11).

The shot that he got out to in the first innings of the Test was abysmal and even made Ricky Ponting question Finch's position in the team.

With D'Arcy Short also getting among the runs against the same side in the practice match, questions will now come in thick and fast if the string of failures continues any longer.

Even Ian Chappel has commented that Finch is the guy probably under the most pressure after the first Test and he's spot on.

Finch famously talked about a "Perform or Perish" model used by the Australian team in a press conference. It could end up making an example of him more than anything.
