Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Professer E]

And warner runs himself out, crap me our test side is full of deadset retards.

Bit harsh on Starc... had a significant injury and little preparation for this test.

Should not have been picked.

I liked Michael Clark's commentary;

"This game depends on Warner and Smith, if they can bat all day Australia will win!"

NSWelshman telling us NSWelshman can win an impossible test, I wonder what he thinks after Warner ran himself out?

Then he exits the commentary box saying,

"In next Shane Warne and The Great Michael Slater!"

FFS, they are killing the game in this country! The NSWelshman are making nepotists look like a meritocracy! Next thing they'll be renaming the NRL the World Series!

If you are feeling a bit down on the state of Australian cricket I would recommend checking out The Grade Cricketer podcast.

This loss might be the loss we needed to get NSW off Australian crickets throat!

[Pratty]

Can we just get some fresh blood into the team!!!!???

Nic Maddinson
Kurtis Patterson
Marcus Stoinis
Cam Bancroft
Peter Handscomb
Jake Lehmann
Ashton Agar

They'll be others too!

Forget Glenn Maxwell.

I'd be making the steady Peter Nevill vice-captain ASAP.

Out: Voges, S.Marsh (inj), Siddle.

I'd keep Mitch Marsh in and bat him at 7 or 8, with someone like Stoinis is also as another medium pacer.

I just think, let's rebuild/reboot, somewhat, with a bunch of younger blokes together.

Cricket Australia, in its wisdom, named a squad for the first two tests; no changes for the second test  :

[Professer E]

S. Marsh broken finger, won't play

[DJC]

S. Marsh broken finger, won't play

Ferguson and Burns have been added to the squad.

[Professer E]

Ok S. Marsh is injured, Burns replaces him.

Siddle has been a mighty warrior but M. Marsh plays the plug it up role. I'd play a more dynamic dealer like Chad Sayers or Faulkner.

I'd also give o' Keefe a chance, Lyon has been found out.
