Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 10-17-2018
Agreed, should have been all out for 120.
Holland has had no penetration, Starc's inaccuracy is an issue and don't get me started on the third seamer...the gun "no rounder".
The all rounder in this series should have been a spinning all-rounder like a Maxwell, not Langer's love child.
Why isn't Head bowling a few overs, he's handy.
Can't win games playing men short. Bad selection - again.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 10-17-2018
Can't argue with any of that Prof. Question is will we ever learn and change the way we select teams?

I said this for a while now, and it is biting us again. We have no effective new ball bowlers at the moment. Starc sprays it like underarm deodorant, Siddle just doesn't have that extra bit of pace he needs for the top level.
The batting was atrocious, but the bowling wasn't much better!
Yeah, but at least we have the bowlers that can come in to that lineup who are test class when fit (Hazelwood, Cummings) .....sadly our batting stocks are, & have been for some time, atrocious. The presence of Steve Smith has papered over gaping cracks for too long. Our high-middle order collapses are now becoming the norm rather than the exception. First round of Shield cricket has so far seen 1 score of 100 plus, and that from a bloke who was discarded for not doing much wrong in the first place. Glad that Finch has fought for his spot, he should stay there for the summer. Renshaw has to come in for S.Marsh at the very least & someone scoring runs in Shield has to be given a go for M.Marsh.
These collapses are just not acceptable in the slightest.
(woops...edited...I just saw the 243 from Pucovski ....that's the sort of stuff I want to see !)

He made 188 v QLD in Feb too.
He has played 7 first class games with a 180 and a 240.
Fair effort

Peever about to finally stand down.
Embarrassing effort

Yes, but he has stepped away from the game indefinitely.....

Understatement JH >
He should never have been in the role and I think his ineptness, some pretty ordinary appointments and State cricket associations that were stuck to the CA money teat have created the malaise that is Australian cricket.
I don't think we will ever be a dominant force like we are accustomed to but a competitive team that plays hard and fair shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Sutherland should take as much heat as anyone.
Heck, a Chairman is largely a symbolic figurehead very rarely has anything to do with day to day operations....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-01-2018
Yep, Teflon Sutherland. Always seemed beyond reproach but asleep at the wheel for the later part of his tenure.
The current situation is like the early 1970s, with the board treating players with contempt, starting with the appalling treatment of Lawry stemming from the fiasco in India then SA, then Chappell calling the board out, then the Packer revolution....lot of parallels.

Yes, you're right.
