Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[laj]

Cupboard must be bare if Bancroft keeps getting picked, technique isnt test standard and everyone at international level knows it and will bowl to him accordingly.
His only hope is if the Pakis are back with the Bookies and serving up free runs...

Of more concern is the growing amount of young men suffering mental illness as a result of playing professional sport in this case cricket first Glen Maxwell, Nick Maddinson and now Will Pucovski who hasnt even played at International level are all taking time out and there has to be others..seems the pressure to succeed has ripped the enjoyment out of the game and those in control need to spend more time on providing a better environment to help these young players.
I noticed Chris Lynn and others have long complained about the poor communication between players and selectors and the lack of follow up when players are dropped
or dropped from contracts etc. Cricket Australia needs to lift their game as an employer as do the other cricket controlling bodies and understand their obligations to players as employees.

There's not alot in the cupboard right now. In my Test team I had Maddinson in to open and Pucovski ay no.6. Now both are off on obviously a much needed mental break.

Wonder if they'll bat Bancroft at no.6 as they did in the tour game. Was the only one that looked like that could bat in that innings. He looked alot more comfortable batting there than opening.
