Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

We need to be seriously thinking about the future... Faulkner I'd be looking at for down the track. Can't believe either or both Marshes are getting another chance, both have been extremely underwhelming at Test level.

Bit over the criticism Smith is copping for not declaring earlier...  why is it always Australia that has to set up games?  The Kiwis didn't exactly hurry things along in the field.  Every man and his dog knew that is was going to be a draw when Smith got out early on the fifth day.

Mitch Marsh is bowling really well. Although he is the all rounder he is batting at no.6 meaning his batting is more important than his bowling to the team, hence he best be making some runs if he wants to keep his spot. Watson at least got starts and rarely made single figure scores. Just kept getting a brilliant 25 then getting out. That was his problem. Faulkner or Henriques must be pushing Marsh for his spot.

Not sure how Shaun Marsh got a gig again. Like Marcus North he'll get 100, cement his spot, then get nothing for the next 5 innings. Would've gone with Klinger.

Pattinson and Siddle in. Hazelwood is doing very little. Current pitches require an accurate workhorse that can keep pressure on the batsmen. Siddle is that person.
