Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Professer E]

People forget that the side has lost a nucleus of a good side in  Rogers, Clarke, Haddin, Harris and Johnson... essentially in one season.  Blokes that were always going to prove difficult to find replacements for, especially coupled with the unfortunate death of Hughes.

I distantly know an ex-Aussie selector and he was of the opinion that Harris was the best pace bowler since Lillee.  Hard to replace world XI type players.

As for Starc - he is a poor man's Johnson.  Needs to find consistency with bat and ball. 

Injuries have thwarted any attempt at getting a decent bowling group on the park, I've given up on Cummins and Pattinson, now Faulkner is an LTI.  Time to groom alternatives.
