We're playing only three bats with Clarke, Marsh and Voges in the team... what used to be our strength is our biggest problem - no middle order whatsoever.

Voges must have thought test cricket was easy facing the West Indies quicks whose stock delivery is the short ball.......this series he hasnt played with a straight bat once.
Clarke is out of confidence and Marsh was unlucky being recalled on a green top with England swinging it like a banana...
Lets hope we can take advantage of the conditions and get the same help of the wicket...maybe if Johnson and Starc slow it down a little they can move the ball more....

It's interesting that the commentators are almost unanimous in wondering why Siddle isn't in the eleven - not that he would have helped our batting.
Although the cricket isn't terribly good to watch, I am finding the vision of Nottingham very interesting; I had a couple of pints in Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, and most of the other pubs in Nottingham, around this time last year
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 08-06-2015
Like my love for the Blues, it wouldn't hurt so much if I didn't care so much. But I do care and I was embarrassed last night.
I simply cannot think of a single positive. At least I could go to sleep....

No comment...I have just no ****ing comment to justify what i saw.

How does James Sutherland always escape criticism.
We have far too much emphasis on limited overs cricket, in particular 20/20. We do whatever India tells us we have to.
I don't know one English test player that plays IPL.
Our bats are simply not good enough. They don't play straight and they have no patience.
If they want to play IPL go do it.
If you want to play test cricket, commit to it, 100%.
AFL footballers commit for a lot less money than these ass clowns get.

His batting may have helped. His average is higher than anyone made last night

This won't improve until NSW loses control of cricket, they are intoxicated with blokes like Warner and Hughes who can slam straight and wide stuff to all points. But as soon as the ball deviates the poor batting techniques are exposed for what they are.
Warner should have asked Root for some batting tips instead of punching him in the nose!
