Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 01-18-2019

Their bowling is rancid with only the 40 year old Herath who isnt touring the only real test class bowler....
Pity we didnt play more tests vs India or maybe a couple vs South Africa and sort out the pretenders from the contenders.....
That's how I see it, but yet I can feel it unfolding that way!

However good or bad the Sri Lankans may be, Australia is faring poorly. Those trying for test spots are failing left and right. This game in Hobart has been a disaster.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 01-18-2019
Hazlewood is out with a back injury, Richardson into the squad to play Sri Lanka. I hope they play him, I like what he brings and I think he would do well in England

I can see how the Ashes tour will unfold a mile off....Jimmy Anderson will have one more home series, take our useless batmen to the cleaners & then smugly retire to a gush of plaudits from the Pommy press......it will be sickening...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 01-20-2019
They've also added Patterson to the squad...fair call, pick blokes scoring runs. He should be in the final side ahead of both Burns & Renshaw given that he performed in the CA match. We'll see.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Sexybronco - 01-20-2019
Kurtis Patterson added to the Australian squad for the upcoming test series against Sri Lanka, well deserved as it is hard to ignore his recent form.

That begs the question why they named the squad before the game that was intended to give the likely prospects a chance to show their stuff?

Because the game is being run by a bunch of numpties.... sadly.

Agree..Anderson at home with the Duke in conditions that suit will run through our poor technically skilled batsman and then be legend status........the hype, the press, talk shows etc.....vomit material...
