Always liked Behrendorff but he cant stay fit...India look like they are in holiday mode......Pandya and Rahul been sent home for some talk show BS , we must be bad to lose a test series to these jokers....

His younger brother should never have been picked...that was a mega blunder, arguably costing us the series.
Picking Handscomb again was also folly (as was playing the young L kid at 3).
Picking Handscomb was like picking Nick Graham every week.....same deckchair, same errors.....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-12-2019
Opening bowlers actually moved the ball, must have shocked Kohli that they had the effrontery not to have pies thrown at them as per usual. The old off cutter, oldie but a goodie. Where was it in the test series?
Finch is embarrassing himself. Ingrained technical flaw.
Was worried when Dhoni and Rohit got going, our record versus those two us poor, very poor.
Oh, and nice to see Langer continue the "exclusion policy" on Maxwell. Give it a rest Justin. Stay strong Maxy.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 01-12-2019
I would drop Finch and open with Maxwell
Could win us a world cup
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 01-13-2019
At the moment Finch looks cooked. His confidence is low. No matter how good a one day or 20:20 captain he may be, he isn't getting any runs and he needs to. I have him playing for the Renegades in the Big Bash. It gives him a chance to discover some form before he truly is flicked for good.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DamonBlue - 01-14-2019
On Matthew Wade, I'm glad he hasn't been selected.
Let's remember, he's had a fair run at Test level (22 matches) and has an average of 28.6 from 38 innings (with the benefit of 7 not-outs, batting down the order). By way of comparison, Hanscomb averages 39 and he's not up to it either at the moment.
At Test level, Wade is a mile off being a batsman. Even if Paine were injured, I wouldn't pick him, as his keeping is ordinary. His recent Shield form, I reckon, just shows that playing some Test cricket can make you much better at a lower level.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 01-14-2019
The reason they gave for not selecting Wade simply don't stack up - no way does it pass the pub test.
If the selectors want to be consistent and fair - well say they have decided to blood young players - and act accordingly.
I think if Wade hadn't played Test level cricket previously he would have got the nod - his poor record worked against him.....
If he has another season of dominating at Shield level, then a rethink is warranted.
An Hohns shoud be put out to pasture.....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 01-14-2019
Wade getting picked has nothing to do with his form IMO, he is seen as part of the supposed neanderthal poor culture that CA is trying to clean out
and replace with the squeaky clean Tim Paine choir boy crew.
Wade got picked previously when CA wanted more mongrel in the team but that of course has all changed with the sandpaper trio dragging Aus cricket into the mud and I'd say Wade's cards are marked unless we get a lot of injuries.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 01-14-2019
Agree 100% EB, if youre not a choir boy you will not be selected at the moment. Runs and wickets are almost irrelevant
