Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 11-20-2016
Picking Wade just doesn't make sense.
I've never seen a keeper get hit in the chest by the ball as much as this guy. Sure he can bat, but we are off to India soon and another change will be needed.

The should have picked Ellyse Perry, she has a better technique than half the other options!

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.
So are you saying the shouldn't try to build a team for the longer period?
Players should be test ready when they are first selected?
That's pretty short term thinking and exactly what got us in the predicament we are now in.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Pratty - 11-20-2016
How has Maddinson got a gig ahead of Patterson? Got talent for sure...otherwise, I am happy with the changes. Hoping Lyon does not play.

We're in the predicament we are now largely because the selectors have focused on blokes who they think could develop into test players and with a couple of blokes who are past it thrown in for good measure.
Picking the best 12 players available isn't such a radical approach.

Lyon shouldn't plY BASED ON FORM. Smith can bowl a few?

I think Smith should start to get those leggies going again, just as a part-time option. Would be handy if he can land them effectively for some overs.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-21-2016
Was initially picked for Australia as a leggie.

Not much joy in Aus for spinners....be interesting to see how Yasir Shah goes when he plays for Pakistan after the Saffie series, best leg spinner since Warnie is what they are calling him. Dont see us providing any dry turning wickets...reckon greentops.....
I'd play Maxwell ahead of Lyon......Lyon is tight but Maxwell breaks partnerships and you get the bonus of his batting and fielding...Ali of England does the same job and stuffed us up bigtime batting at 7/8 in the last ashes series and has gone on to bigger and better things...
