Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

Do you think the scatter-gun selection process might contribute to some of this?

Imagine how this looks from the inside, blokes making double centuries and averaging in three figures in shield cricket cannot get a run, while others who fail at test level averaging 12 have their contract extended!

It's hard enough for us to watch it from a distance, imagine putting in all that work and seeing your dreams dashed by some cartoon capers!

LP, I reckon the haphazard selection  stuff doesnt help and those without contracts would get very frustrated and distressed seeing the same old same old get picked regardless of form.
Its used to be you knocked down the door with runs and wickets or you were that prodigious young talent like Ponting, Warne etc and were promoted early
but some of these selections now  are based on no criteria or logic at all, ad the underlying innuendo is more about who you know or what state you play for.
There are so many formats now, so many players across those formats, you almost have to pick and choose which one you want to play and specialise in and I can understand some
young players would be doing their head in trying to figure out where they belong in the system.
