Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Bear - 08-09-2015
I'd be happy to give him more time, it seems like a decision made in reaction to a poor performance by the team. Take the emotion out of it.
Clarke at least deserves a farewell on home soil... bit sad I think.

Soccer is close to taking over Cricket as Australia's preferred Summer Sport, especially in the Capital cities.

Clarke should retire immediately.
Expect to see youth in Bangladesh
Burns must play.
Maybe Doran.
I would prefer Faulkner to Marsh.
Cummins to play 5th test.
We need to find a strong group to build around Smith who should bat at four but won't.

I'd like to see Bancroft open with Warner when Rogers retires....
I'm not sold on Burns yet.
Cummins....agree...swings the ball at good pace all be it is injury prone...
Faulkner is unlucky, because he is a very good one day player it probably hold him back in terms of perception and I agree he should
be playing more test cricket...still like Marsh but conditions at the WACA are not conducive to being a good player in English conditions and
he will be a better player back in Aus and places like South Africa, the West Indies etc ...

Agree with Bancroft.
Warner is very lucky there is a void of senior players. His technique is awful.
These guys need to play in other cricket than IPL.
If Warner doesn't play county, I would tell him he doesn't play test cricket, up to him.

You'd be kidding about Warner wouldn't you? Warner's actually made 4 half centuries and a 38 this series. Not at his best but not too bad either. his technique isn't bad and better than most. He averages 46 in Test Cricket so it has nothing to do with a void of senior players. He'll be always first picked.

Warner hasnt got a great technique but is still a destructive player with a good eye...the English have bowled well to him and have had the ball moving back into his body
to cramp him up so he cant play those flashy cuts and drives but you are right a season or two of county to tighten his technique would be useful.
There is rumoured talk of another rebel test league starting up and I reckon Warner would be high on the list of players wanted and interested with obscene amounts of money
reckoned to be on offer if it ever gets off the ground...

No, not kidding.
He needs a kick up the ass.
He averages sub 20 in ashes first innings when it counts.
Stats ax be whatever you want them to be Jim
He has no forward defence and gets out playing the same shots
Let's not create another watson

The blokes "setting" that up still owe numerous guys from ICL days.
Zero credibility.
If players want to take a risk on the money they now earn, let them.
There is only one thing that makes them valuable and that is playing for Australia.
Let em rot in IPL or whatever else they choose
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 08-21-2015
Amazing watching last night.
You would swear we were trying to play test cricket.
Can't believe they would revert to that!
