How long before Starc gets in then, before he retires?

yep, well.....some do learn....some just don't !
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 02-04-2019
BTW, did anyone watch that underarm docco last night ?. I had some pre-conceived fears about what it would be like……and it was exactly as I predicted.
Over dramatized, presenting the poor little Kiwis as being hard done by the whole summer, including the balls leading up to that last one (Hadlees LBW was just stone dead out …..end of story), no interviews with the real senior players in the side apart from Chappell (Lillee, Marsh ), and I get the feeling that some NZ players (Howarth particularly) just have never let it go…….get over it…..

I watched it.....seemed the Kiwi's got more off field benefit out of it and it really helped sell the game in NZ(and plenty of anti aus t-shirts) and weld the community together, as Howarth said they were more popular than the all blacks for a short period of time. The bloke who suffered the most was Trevor Chappell IMO, he looked very old and tired on that interview and I reckon Greg would feel more guilty what he did to his brother than the game.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 02-05-2019
Greg always given the impression that he couldn't care less about Trev, comes across as a single minded, ruthless individual. Winning was what counted then, bugger the consequences.
Kiwis are just pissed because they lost.

Lehmann gets it.....
- One man who understands Langer's scheduling frustrations better than most is his predecessor Darren Lehmann, who last week called for Khawaja to focus on the climax of the Shield season instead of the Indian tour.
Speaking before Khawaja's drought-breaking century against Sri Lanka in Canberra, Lehmann said allowing the left-hander to play a solid block of first-class cricket away from the glare of the international spotlight would be a fillip for Australia's Ashes campaign.
"If I'm fair dinkum about batting him (at) three in the Ashes, I don't think you can take him to the one day series against India and Pakistan," Lehmann told Macquarie Sports Radio.
"I think he's got to play the four Shield games at the back end with the Dukes ball and get some form."
Langer just doesn't.....
- Australia's leading players won't be excused from the upcoming white-ball tour of Asia in order to play the final rounds of the JLT Sheffield Shield, with coach Justin Langer saying their World Cup defence is his main focus despite the Ashes also fast approaching.
While acknowledging the importance of the Shield in instructing Australia's Ashes squad, Langer said there was no thought of holding back some players from the ODI campaigns and prioritising critical practice against the red Dukes ball.

Amplifies what an idiot Langer really is

Yes, honing one’s craft in the Shield should be the priority both for our more seasoned players and those pressing for Ashes selection.
I think that India is leading the way in selecting the best teams for T20, ODI and Tests with few players making all three squads.
Still, I don’t think Langer is the only one who has lost the plot; he has many mates at Cricket Australia who should be following different careers.

I was actually there.

Might be better opening with Khawaja and batting Patterson at 3, where he bats for NSW.
On English pitches I have Pattinson ahead of Starc and Richardson ahead of Hazelwood. Pattinson is surely fit by August.
At this stage of my rolling team
Warner
Khawaja
Patterson
Smith
Head
Purcovski/Wade/Stoinis (Not sure here yet. Wait for the last few games of the Shield)
Paine
Pattinson
Cummins
Lyon
Richardson
Wade is a surprisingly decent bowler with decent pace so can put in a few overs if needed.
