Agreed... Talked up and talked up,  yet involved in every collapse.  Looks great,  delivers F all.

He shouldn't have played. He isn't that bad, but after his injury he needed to find form. He hasn't. He needs badly to regain his touch with Shield performances, not pottering around like an old chook in test matches.
There is a place for him when he is fit: our team is not strong enough to ignore him. But he needed time to prepare. He didn't get it.

Who do we bring in? Good question, but not Mitch Marsh. The others have done something: one or two have even looked reasonable at times. But we can't get away playing half fit players with our team as it is.

Yep,  hard to find form at test level. Injury occurred at a most inopportune time.

FFS Marsh ... you're too far back !!


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-16-2018

Not far enough.  Should be in the grandstand,  deadset screwing useless. At least he's consistent.... Consistently disappointing.


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-16-2018

And thankfully we won't have to watch Handscombes cringe worthy "technique" in Melbourne.  Seriously,  how does he expect to make runs at first class level going back to pitched up deliveries !?!

Look at his record compared to his team mates.
Pretty simple

Can understand this,  but it's all relative isn't it?  Compared to the current bunch he's Alan Border.  But overall his record is one of a very inconsistent player.  I pray he makes plenty this dig,  but I'm being hopeful not expectant. Like the others,  you feel he can get out any ball,  he never looks "in".


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 12-16-2018

Our batsmen are certainly our Achilles' Heel at the moment. Very ordinary.


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-16-2018

I like Travis.  Basic technique, no frills... But slashing two catches to third man in the one match... Really? 

Shot selection has been putrid, again,  and I'm looking at you Mr Hick.  Do your pucking job or puck off, because whatever message youre pushing isn't getting through to these Muppets.
