Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[cimm1979]

The test showed up how technically  sloppy Aus batsmen are... commit to the line early, throw the hands at the ball and expect it to whizz away for four... so much for playing conservatively through the arc and watching the ball onto the bat.

We are damn hard to beat on those kinds of decks but if the ball deviates - swing or spin - we're stuffed.

Poms and Kiwis must be chuckling to 'emselves watching our mob yesterday.

We won.

But on your point, most teams have the same deficiencies it's just that many of them aren't  that smart and it takes them a while to adjust.
