Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-21-2016
Agree 100% Brother Elwood... Maxwell can bat, is the best field in the country and can at least bowl darts to hold up an end.
Lyon lacks penetration and doesn't tie down an end - batsmen have finally realised that they can go after him with much risk as he neither spins it enough to pose a threat or beats them with flight. He does not possess any meaningful variations that I can see... no chucks, I mean Carom balls, over spinners, sliders, arm nuts or scooters. That said, I give Lyon plaudits for eking 100% from his ability, trying his guts out with the bat and fielding solidly.

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...
Nice point elwood.
Maxy at 7 or 8 bowling his offies and providing that sharp and energetic fielding (freakish even) would be welcome.

Maxwell is the type of cricketer that wins matches, but not one on whom the selectors are prepared to gamble. It's quite strange given their propensity to select players who don't seem to have done enough to warrant selection or who aren't doing enough to stay in the team.

What we also need is a skipper who will fight tooth & nail for the type of blokes he wants in the team with him. Not sure Smith has that tenacity yet. Ponting fought (almost demanded) that a similar player (Andrew Symonds) was selected in his side despite some off field hi-jinx. And he could have been a match winner over a decent length of time if the ACB hadn't completely stabbed him & Ponting in the back by pandering to the Indians over the "monkeygate" incident. Symonds lost his interest in the game from then on.

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.
Four catches and a stumping!
It will be a bonus if Wade makes runs to go with his very good performance with the gloves

Wade was good and I dont see much wrong with his keeping....Saffies look a bit carefree and apart from Captain Minty didnt show much fight or effort, reckon we can win this test and
build a team to play the Paki's...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-24-2016
Saffies have been made to look better than they are by our hopelessly inept batting.
Attack ran out of gas after tea and needed a fifth option but you can't have everything.
Honest, solid effort by the Aussies today IMO. Saffies all out for < 300 and none down at stumps... we can win this.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crazyjoedevolamk11 - 11-24-2016
Rookie mistake 101 Skipper - Faf played Smith on a break with that declaration which saw little Davey not able to open the innings cause he was in the rooms for too long watching his "OLED"
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-24-2016
Yes, but two young batsmen had a chance to stick down a marker and they did.

Yes, poor captaincy by Smith and lack of awareness from Warner but it may just work to our advantage.
