Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

Selected on a "gut feeling"........well, I'm sure guys like Jackson Bird are happy to know that they needn't bother taking truckloads of wickets anymore....as the selectors don't bother to look at that !

I think the selectors are panicking due to the loss of the lower order batting depth more than the loss of bowling.

The coming West Indies series is really only a risk to Australia if we don't make enough runs against the Windie's reasonable but shallow bowling attack. The Windies have two erratic bowlers who vary from very average to excellent but not much to back them up with.

Losing the batting of Johnson and Starc is a bigger loss for the coming months than the loss of their bowling.
