Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

That shows that Head is either mentally weak or as dumb as duck sh1t because he isn't learning - that at test level he has to tighten up his technique.  Simply hadn't wised up.  Don't know if we can carry Wade and Head who look to be very similar in style, although Wade has actually made some runs.

Smith isn't batting well either - pressure of expectation seems to have got to him and he hasn't settled in any innings this summer.

If Hazelwood was fit this game would be over.

Prof....agree on Head, why with the field set for the legside flick off the hip would you play at those deliveries?Wagner is making a living out of bowling half trackers@130k and getting away with it, looks like if you bowl at a lower pace you can bowl as much short stuff as you like?. If Starc bowled so much short stuff he would be warned I reckon..
Granted not all of them are shoulder high or above but a great percentage are especially bowling at very short players like Wade, Head etc.....

Smith has got carried away with himself and the hype, being inventive works some of the time but Williamson is employing one day tactics with his bowling and field placements.
NZ aim to bowl dot ball after dot ball and are the maiden kings, Smith has to learn they are waiting for him to get himself out rather than the kiwis bowling him out.
I probably rate Kholi higher in this regard as I could see him playing in a more smart conventional manner and pushing into the gaps rather than trying to blast  good balls to the boundary like Smith.

Wont be long now anyway with the Kiwis struggling at 2 down and still miles behind....
