Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[laj]

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree...Lynn's reputation has been built on Big Bash...and it is plainly obvious how much of a step up international 50 over cricket is.

What was also highlighted very clearly yesterday was the difference in bowling plans & / or execution for the last 10 overs.  They scored 140 off the last 10 FFS !!!  We used to have the best finishers in the game going back to Waugh & O'Donnell, McDermott, McGrath...now these guys are just providing hitting length balls with the same pace on each.  Cummings, as much as I love him as a bowler, is a Test Match specialist.  Starc...where's the yorkers when you need them, Hazelwood, again is better at Test level.  The Saffers showed us exactly how to bowl in the last 10.

Anyway.....onto the Tests in November as usual.

I suppose yesterday will give S.Marsh a free ticket to all 4 of them.

Yes, I'm thinking Hazelwood and Cummins a purely Test bowlers. Berendorff is one i'd bring straight in. In ODI's i'd think about about both Stoinis and M.Marsh. I'd play two spinners too, Lyon and Fawad. Unless you have great ODI fast bowlers you need to take pace off the ball. Fast bowlers otherwise just go to the fence faster with their pace.
