Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

Agreed, neither should ever have a leadership position again....

Some might say harsh on Smith, but... c'est la vie?

I realise Warner has coped the bulk of the retribution in this regard, but anyone who has played cricket knows full and well the situation didn't play out as described. Keeping a cricket captain in the dark or excluded from team tactical discussions is akin to an AFL player lying to the coach!

Same with Finch, even after his score of 90, struggles with quality bowling.

I would have Hanscomb keeping, giving us even more options.

While I cannot ignore batting form, I see that Finch has a worth far more than just his bat. Finch in captaincy not that different from Tubby Taylor, a unifying influence.

I won't talk about team selection and tactics because I doubt any batting or bowling in India or Dubai will be very relevant to the UK or Wales.
