Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 11-20-2016
I'd make Warner captain....not everyones cup of tea is Davey boy but he has some mongrel in him which good Aussie captains have....
Smith is a nice bloke...but he is still maturing IMO and reminds of when Kim Hughes got the job...

While it's not alot of evidence the side lifted 2 to 3 notches during the one day series in Sri Lanka when Smith was sent home to rest and Warner become captain. We actually went on to win the series 4-1. The only thing we've won since February.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 11-20-2016
The selectors have made a start by dropping Joe Burns, Adam Voges, Peter Nevill, Joe Mennie and Callum Ferguson.
Matthew Renshaw (Queensland), Peter Handscomb (Victoria), Nic Maddinson (New South Wales) and Chadd Sayers (South Australia) get their first chance and Matthew Wade and Jackson Bird have been recalled to the 12 man squad.
I would have included Cam White and Travis Dean but I think there's a limit on the number of Victorians you can have in the squad.

The Sheik must be the new Chief selector
..this is scorched earth selection policy and what we needed.....Agree on Dean....dont see White playing test cricket again....this is rebuild stuff....the Yorkshireman Sam Whiteman is a tad unlucky.....might have him thinking about an English Test career if he gets overlooked again..
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-20-2016
Maddinson has had a sh1te season, 3 knocks over 30 in his last 13 innings.
Perhaps he is in for his bowling, nup 1 wicket in eight innings. :o
WTF, it's another NSW miracle selection! >
A sceptical cricket follower could be forgiven for thinking they have picked some out of form blokes who will fail in time for the anointed favourites to return. I'll piss myself laughing if they go well and stitch up the blessed ones.

White is in career best form with the bat . . . and he's a only year older than Ferguson and four years younger than Voges.
The selectors should simply be picking the 12 players best able to win the next Test and White has the form, ability and cricket nous to get the job done.

Smith's willingness to use a night-watchman makes me think he's looking for a way out of the kitchen, things are getting too hot for him!
Even if Lyon put his hand up to be a night-watchman, Smith should have said no and took on the responsibility!
Lyon's done the nightwatchman job a few times in Tests, including under Clarke.

The symbolism of Lyon coming in as nightwatchman shouldn't be underestimated. It clearly informed the Vics that Smith wasn't confident that he could keep the bowlers out and trying to win the game wasn't an option for NSW. It was meek, reactive captaincy that seems to come to the fore when things aren't going well for Smith.

Dont disagree he is in form..my point is I dont see the selectors going back to too many old players given the media and public have caned the dads army selection policy..Maddinson averages 37 in 1st class cricket which isnt exactly mind blowing and is a IPL player in terms of technique but gets a game based on youth and promise rather than results....and playing for the right state.

i reckon the LehmANN lad would have got a gig if he'd even managed a 50 this weekend....
