Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

Fortunately, looking at Shield form, batting line up will be entirely different.

Harris has made 65 on top of his 250 last game, Renshaw made 89, Handscomb 123.

Looking at ..

Harris
Renshaw
Khawaja
Handscomb
Finch
Labuschagne
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazelwood

Better than the crap that has been playing for us.

Cummins looks the pick of the batsman......

[Professer E]

Better technique than many.

Mitch Marsh made 151 today. Not sure if that helps our cause or not.

On current trends he'll  be captain before sunset!

Good one LP

The first guy to reference that stupid word was Ian Cheppell and that was a LONG time ago.  When questioned about it, he referred to his other pastime ... baseball.  Fact.

I first heard it out of Warne’s mouth whilst he was still playing.

Yep, Chappelli had been using it since the WSC days.

The "batters" term is from the promotion of the women's format,  the non gender specific term.

Fine..use it when commentating Womens cricket.

I had to laugh the other day when Pat Cummins was doing some commentary on the Womens Aust vs NZ one dayer at North Sydney...he called them batsmen a couple of times.

In the earlier days of Womens cricket they were actually called batswomen too.

In any case, the term for Batsmen is the least of our current Batting specialists worries.....actually batting through 50 overs seems to be the current problem.

And I agree with others on here about Starc...he is possibly the most overrated, pressure reducing, run leaking bowler we've had in recent memory...and I used to be very hard on Mitch Johnson in his early years !

X2.  For every spectacular late in swinging stumps smasher there's a lot of old rope being served up by Mr Starc.

Have you noticed that these rare deliveries are almost exclusively produced to tail-enders as well ?
