I had to laugh the other day when Pat Cummins was doing some commentary on the Womens Aust vs NZ one dayer at North Sydney...he called them batsmen a couple of times.
In the earlier days of Womens cricket they were actually called batswomen too.
At work the other day I had to get some equipment for a job we were doing and when I went to the equipment store and talked to my old mate the storeman he told
me he was no longer the storeman he was the "storeperson"....that was now his official title and it was changed due to work place equality.

Malo, Starc has always reminded me of a Diet Coke version of MJ. Just as much froth and bubble, looks similar but doesn't satisfy like the real thing.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-06-2018
BTW, isn't our current batting coach Graeme Hick?
Don't remember him being a particularly successful test batsman.
Punter should be involved with this side in some capacity.

Hick was a stylist with good technique but struggled vs Aus,.. think he was close to a century once out here and the captain declared on him....
Punter is the new Mark Taylor on channel 7.....still coaches in the IPL obviously for the big dollars though Punter isnt exactly short of a rupee or two, read he was worth in excess of 100 million
with more to come. Dont see him doing any coaching for us over the next 6 years while he has the CH7 job which is about 3 mill a year....dont think the Aus batting coach job will cover that...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 11-06-2018
Hick? God help us
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-06-2018
Short bus ride to Hick from Hack.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 11-06-2018
Didn't bat well in the short forms or on those Asian but i'm sure we'll be much better come the Test Series on our own decks. Be a different line up, not 20/20 sloggers with no technique.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-07-2018
In hindsight the biggest mistake CA made with Shane Warne was not playing him sooner. Fair enough he was dropped, and there was a risk at the time he might eat the rest of the team in protest. But the sooner he got in then dropped the sooner he stepped up to the next level.
If this Pope kid is any good, get him in the squad, lets not stuff around offering up has-been 2nd rate NSWelshmen as backup spinners! And as parochial as I am Jon Holland is never going to be the man!
We should have the opposition thinking we are making pitches for the likes of Starc and Pattinson and instead prepare a bunch of spinning tracks for the kid on the rise!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-07-2018
I don't understand why we aren't making pitches that suit Parttinson ET AL. Oh, sorry, the ACB is so busy kowtowing to Kohli and the BCCI that we'll get roads that suit the other teams, not us. Then again, we're cheats, not like those perfect, angelic Indians and Sri Lankans. No match fixing or doctored pitches over there.... Lankans should have been banned from tests for three years for the crap they pulled last tour.

That's what annoys me too. We make roads to kowtow to India and to make Tests go 5 days. Hurts our batsmen so much when they go overseas. They learn nothing playing on roads.
Somehow, we've managed to be the most successful non-Asian team on Asian wickets in recent times. Other sides must be shite.
