Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 02-27-2017
there will be no change to the 12, short of injury....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 02-27-2017
We won that test because we picked a side suited to the pitch, no based on reputations.
Should the next pitch be different, so should the team that runs out!

We won that Test because the Indians were over cocky, complacent and arrogant....
Not much to do with our lot to be honest.

He doesn't average 22 with the ball in first class cricket by being a mug though.

I agree LAJ, but he isn't Warne either.
Many of his wickets had nothing to do with his bowling and everything to do with the Indian batting, but he wasn't alone in that regard.
You mentioned your surprise when you thought Starc had won Man-of-the-Match. But given he took Australia's first innings from ordinary to acceptable, and then knocked over two of the world's top three batsmen in one over to start the rot, it wouldn't be so hard to claim he was the most influential player.
Without doubt India's overconfidence entering the match with only 5 batsmen and their elite top order failing under Starc, contributed to the rubbish batting by the Indian lower order and benefited O'Keefe greatly.
But regardless of the O'Keefe situation, that won't happen next match, and we should not expect the same formula to work.

Dunno, apparently 18 months planning went into this game and if they can stick to what has proven to be a successful style of play I'd expect it to remain so.
What concerns me more is that our batting remains very fragile and the next collapse could occur at any time. At some stage we are going to have to bat for 5+ sessions and I don't see it happening.
Pretty clear that the Indian spinner don't like big left handers that are prepared to punish anything hittable.

I said this before the series started. I didnt think we would win the series, but they prepared and planned very well. The changes in the team in the summer, the 2 week camp in Dubai, The clear and evident batting and bowling plans executed. I was hoping they got the reward at some stage for the preparation and lo and behold it came quicker and faster than imagined.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 03-04-2017
India batting rubbish again, if Australia hadn't dropped Rahul twice India would've been all out by now!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 03-04-2017
India all out 189
Lyon 8/50
Australia 0/21
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-05-2017
Shaun Marsh equal top score and not out :o All is forgiven!
Lehmann deserves credit for the preparation and execution of a very good gameplan. It's a far cry from the ad hoc approach we've taken to previous India tours.
