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.
Nothing to do with Hick.
These blokes have been born and bred on garbage cricket.
Change the academy or centre of excellence and change the style of cricketer that emerges from it
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-16-2018
Well, he's the batting coach isn't he? What does he do all day, cut oranges and chalk the crease lines?
I agree with you on the academy, it's a joke. We don't have the right people in charge and their message is failing. It's not producing test batsmen, in technique nor temperament.
The mindset of our batsmen is rancid, they're playing stupid cricket. What pains me more is that if we ditch these blokes, there are no obvious replacements. Nobody seems prepared to bat themselves in, they all seem to have a manic desire to play preconceived shots after a run of dot balls.
The soft nature of these dismissals.... Shakes head in disbelief.

I think it's both batting and bowling, our players and coaches are making excuses for poor to average bowling on a deadly pitch. India get hold of a pill and it again magically looks unplayable.
Bad batting certainly yes, good bowling no way in hell!

Yep, this is the long term price the national team will pay because the ACB's emphasis on T20 and ODI. If the ACB keep bending over for the BCCI and it will continue indefinitely.
Keep in mind, most of the Indian's are trained and coached by premium former test playing Australians at the MRF Academies, while the ACB hires a bunch of B-Graders.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 12-17-2018
BTW...as an ex-fast bowler & someone has loved the art of quick bowling for decades.......I have no idea how Bumrah bowls 147 ks. It just shouldn't be possible with that runup & action.

It's the new rules Malo, in slow motion he looks like a half throw, but now that is allowed in the rules.
Bumrah is more of a pitcher than a bowler.

what are the new rules?

The Muttiah Muralitharan rules, changed to allow up to 15° elbow bend.
This pitch is looking better and better, Australia need at least 300+ lead to secure a win.
If Australia declare at 250 ahead they could well lose!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 12-17-2018
Usman has played a great innings here in tough conditions.
Paine has been rock solid since taking over this mob.
Considering the line up, he has done a great job
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-17-2018
Paine makes a lot of scores between 30 and 40, typically under a lot of pressure. Be nice to see him go on one day and post a really big score for his self belief.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 12-17-2018
Sharma next drop - a worse bat than Glen McGrath....
Should be easy to win from here....
