Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 11-15-2016
(11-15-2016, 02:17 AM)LP link Wrote:Is cricket in it's current state because the rumors about the internal dissent over the captaincy are true?
If heads roll and Smith survives, will it destroy Australian Cricket for half a decade or more?
What are the rumours?
I have only heard Warne sooking like he always does.
Probably because Smith won't consult him about his decisions.
In Adelaide 2 years ago I saw Warne talking to Clarke while Clarke was at 2nd slip after play had started.
His arrogance is beyond belief
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-15-2016
I refer to my earlier statements about Australian players being mentally forked by the death of Hughes.
Note, refer to the Voges and Ferguson dismissals, Tasmania, Nov 15th 2016.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-15-2016
Voges shot was a not just a get out shot...it was a get out & stay out shot. Ferguson, should at least have a couple more tests, very poor if after waiting 10 years for a spot his only test was one it that sort of overall batting implosion.
Wade will not play another test, sorry blokes. Not a test standard keeper. I really hope we don't fall for the trap of looking for another Gilchrist just because SAF have unearthed one either....that sort of mentality has blighted our all rounder selection process for years. I agree Neville may not be a long term future, might need to take a punt on someone young like they did with Healy years ago....sadly that sort of inspired selection seem beyond the current Selection panel.....
Bowling, well Hazelwood was good. Otherwise a journeyman the likes of Kyle Abbott completely showed us up on how to bowl seam up, line & length. Exactly what Mennie was selected to do ! I wonder how Siddle would have fared on that pitch ?
As Kevin Pietersen said, the pitch was nothing horrible, just a very good test of Batting technique.....which we failed.

And there it is!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 11-15-2016
Keep Warner, Smith, Starc and Hazelwood; the rest can go back to Shield cricket. I don't mind who they bring in but I'd prefer a couple who aren't from NSW.
The selectors really need to forget about picking teams with the future in mind. They should only be looking ahead to the next Test and players like White and Wade should be in serious contention.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-15-2016
Why wouldnt we consider Wade? Captains his state and has made shield and test runs... Keepers only have to take the chances offered, they dont generate them.
Who is the current NSW keeper, he is probably the next annointed one....

Neville missed a simple stumping with DeKock the batsman...his keeping skills are overrated IMO and his batting is no where near the level of Wades...saying that though none are anywhere near the ability of DeKock as a player...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-15-2016
Probably stunned that Lyon beat the bat.

I'm not done yet with Mitch Marsh either, but get some others in for starters. I'm keen on Ashton Agar too. I had Patterson at 4. Can he of Handscomb bowl? PH can keep I know. Wouldn't mind 6 bowling options with someone like Trav Head to bowl some offies to go with Agar's lefties.
Here's a potential 12.
Warner
Khawaja
Smith ©
Handscomb
Head
Stoinis
Wade (wk)
Agar
Faulkner
Starc
Hazlewood
12th Man: Bird
Warner
S.Marsh
Khawaja
Smith
Handscombe
Ferguson (needs more than one Test)
Wade
O'Keefe
Starc
Hazelwood
Bird (Look forward to the likes of Cummins finally being fit. Changes everything)
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-15-2016
If Hazelwood is your third seamer you've got a decent attack.
