Politics?
More about Greg Chappell’s obsession with youth.
James Sutherland has slithered out of all this without anywhere near enough blame.
Should have been moved on a decade ago.
Greg Chappell is 70 years old, Trevor Hohns is 64.
Surely we have better options!!!
How does Peter Siddle get selected for the ODI side?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 01-04-2019
India is a great team, but we have some major problems and this series has been an unmitigated disaster. From pitches to team selections to coaches, to the entire chaos with the differing fixtures, it is a dog's breakfast

We should, I write should, be able to bat for five days on this deck. Any spin, bounce or reverse swing and I'd be checking the pill for "unnatural damage". Any movement at all and I'd be very suspicious.
Marnus is a captain's nightmare... Half trackers, pitches all over the shop - one outside leg, next a foot outside off etc, haven't seen any real turn and no wrong 'un. Can't see why he was picked.
Starc gave it away today, he couldnt be bothered, I believe he and the wife Alyssa Healy have more interest in their property portfolio and have just added another property once owned by Jen Hawkins for close to 2 mill.
I dont expect him to stay in test cricket too long and maybe concentrate on the shorter formats of the game where he can make good money and continue adding to his investments.
India's bowlers already look like the wicket will suit them more...they have the three spinners and can use Bumrah/Shami in short spells...like the look of their chinaman bowler too...he can land them on line unlike Marnus who is very part time and you couldnt really call an allrounder..
India look so much better with Jadeja at No 8 and I reckon plenty of teams will struggle knocking them over cheaply with him and Pant coming in down the order...wicket keeping needs work but Pant has to be one of the better keeper/bats in world cricket....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-04-2019
Made it to stumps safe thanks to Pant shelling a sitter. Khawaja is struggling to middle it, doesn't look in great touch. Hopefully a good night's sleep, feet start moving and the other mob can enjoy chasing leather for six or so sessions.

we'll lose by an innings....

Would not surprise me at all.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-05-2019
Forty overs in and Bumrah is reverse swinging it. How comes to mind.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-05-2019
Shaun Marsh being consistent. Consistently hopeless.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Baggers - 01-05-2019
I'm a little slow, I need reminding as to why S Marsh is in the side.
