Warner should have asked Root for some batting tips instead of punching him in the nose!
It won't change until CA realise 20/20 and test cricket are two different games.
It requires two different coaches and two different selection panels.
They currently seem to be very confused.

Top Secret leak.

I think Warner got the best ball of the day... Neville got a good one also, but he didn't play it well. The rest gave 18 overs of catching practice.
Techniques and mindset found wanting. Pitch wasn't that bad, given the poms rattled up 4/270 odd.

A good start would be to look for players outside of Sydney, but I suppose this whole test is all Voges fault!
It's funny because I am trivialising the situation, but it's not funny because it cuts too close to the bone!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 08-07-2015
Now I've had the day to collect my thoughts.......they need to use the old Footy strategy.
Start playing the kids ! That means of the batting lineup, only Smith & Warner deserve to be retained. Whatever happened to the likes of Joe Burns ? Gave him a go, showed a bit, then never see him again !!!
They've got to pick for the future now. And on the bowling front, give Cummings a go in the last test, and get Pattinson back in there this summer (which will be a very hard series against the Kiwis by the way). Not sure about Neville either yet, you could have driven a truck through the gap between bat & pad as his bat came across from somewhere near 2nd slip !
Give us a young team that will at least have a few tests under their belt for the return Ashes.

I think when this thread started, Australia was crap, since then we have got to the top of the pile, and now we are crap again.

Similar cycle over the last three tests ???
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 08-07-2015
Shane Warne is a bit of a knob but his cricket analysis is usually pretty good. His comments last night about the batsmen lacking match awareness were spot on.
I found it too painful to watch and gave up at tea.
I reckon part of the problem is the decline of the Sheffield Shield.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - MosquitoFleet - 08-07-2015
factors are:
1. loss of sheffielf shield
2. a lot of aussie players don't play in England any more - in India playing 20.20
3. 20.20 killing technique to build long innings - test matches finish in 4 days now
4. cricket Australia - needs a clean out - Sutherland too long-
5. nsw cricket - as hookes says - when they give a player the blue cap the baggy green is in a brown paper bag
6. not enough ethnic diversity in australian team - too anglo celtic and we are not tapping into all the talent imo
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 08-08-2015
Openers have been ok but it's stopped there. Middle order is awful, especially with the captain feeling age and injuries. Batsmen's technique so poor for seaming conditions and it's killed us. Smith might be better at 4 but that means finding someone for no.3.
Fast bowlers as a group have been poor. Usually one has performed well with poor support hence not the pressure of bowling in partnerships. Starc was terrible in the 3rd Test but great here, Johnson was good in the 3rd Test but bad here. He has to learn his position is to intimidate, not try to be a line and length swing bowler. His value drops right away. Heazlewood has generally been terrible and needs replacing. Lyon has done well.
