Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-04-2016
The bloke who really should be pensioned off is Mike Coward, gees he dribbles on. At least Skull was funny, I miss his jokes and funky laugh.

Broad is an excellent player and a bloke like Ali is very handy but they have not had much to beat...
Jim Maxwell is probably due for retirement...
Ali will be smashed out here, they'll need to decide if they want to carry him as a batsman then. England will be in the position Saffers are in when Broad & Anderson are gone.....Aussies already going through that transition phase having lost Johnston & Harris & are getting good matches into Hazelwood & Pattinson. Will Broad & Ando still be around for the return Ashes series out here ? Broad probably, Anderson ?????
Will be interesting.

What's worse is, we now have to listen to Gerard Whately

Anderson is/will be gone and Broad probably in the twilight of his career by then...agree on Ali as a bowler but he was probably more of a nuisance as a batsman and we didnt know how to handle him...that No 7 or No 8 who can keep out the good ones but smash the rest is very handy as Carlos Brathwaite is showing and they might carry Ali as a batter and part time spinner.
Not convinced Pattinson can last a hard test series or two in a row yet and ditto for Starc...Hazelwood is very Siddle like but can be carted with his lack of real pace...like to see Cummins back but he is another who cant stay on the park. Interesting to see Paris picked in the ODI team....I really like Behrendorff though and reckon he has been unlucky not to play for Aus in a few formats...good pace, swings the ball and is accurate...be a handful in English conditions IMO...

His anecdotes would have been a godsend for this summers test series. Here's a skull classic for old times sake.

re: Chris Gayle....been in the news for mainly the wrong reasons, however he does have some redeeming qualities it seems, my eldest daughter and her boyfriend were invited along to one of his mates birthday parties....happens this bloke is good friends with CG who rocked up and paid for the entire evening and was a gentleman to all concerned..

Should Voges retire - tonight?
Averaging 100 in Test cricket.....gets out early tomorrow still averages a very healthy 92 odd.
It would mean immortality!

The Don and the Voge......think the latter will keep playing and get as many tests as he can but its a good point you make and he has taken his chances
even when he has been out but survived by dubious umpiring....how did they get that Bracewell no ball so wrong?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 02-13-2016
Man of the match should be the skipper for winning the toss.
Voges making a zillion masks the facts that Warner is way off the boil (again), Burns continues to get out in stupid ways and Marsh can't bat at test level.
Its been a long summer and a few blokes are wilting... don't expect anything at the world 20/20 slog and celebrate competition.

Skipper certainly made the right call.
Warner doesn't seem to off the boil. One failure doesn't do that. Averaging 51.34 and his last few series have been pretty good. Marsh does need to make more runs. Bowling well and at pace but if he bats 6 then he needs to average 35 being an allrounder. Maybe bat him at 7 and Nevill at 6.
