He hasn’t done too badly besides;
Omits his best 2 bowlers in brisbane on a pitch that would have really helped them.
Opts to bat first on that pitch.
Comes to the crease at 2/11 and makes a duck
Over rates so slow that the team was fined 100% of match fee
Goes into adelaide without a specialist spinner
Loses the crucial toss in adelaide D/N
Doesn't bother to wear a protector in the nets and is hit so badly that he misses most of the day's play
Even his teammates were in stitches when starc hit him in the nuts later in the day

Adding to this list;
Loses 2nd test by 275 runs despite Australia not being to field 2 of their best bowlers, one of whom was captain
Bit harsh to blame him for losing the toss…
