The Australian cricket team is not judged on its results in 20/20.
What the players do in the Big Bash or IPL is of little consequence.
Maybe the golden era was a result of preparing the players, for the first time in Australian Cricket history, in the right way?
Then we stopped it....
Very good points JH, T20 is not about cricket at all it just a form of theater.
If you focus on T20 you're closer to being a Roman Gladiator than a General in the army, you'll live and die by the sword to cheers from the crowd!
Being "The Big Thing" in T20 is always going to be about the "Next Big Thing", when you done with T20, and you are not the "Next Big Thing", you are dust!
Have you ever heard the farmers fable of The New Cow?

20/20 isn’t going away Jonny.
Probably more for the players to adapt to playing the different forms.

On a separate issue. related to the test.
Is the current curator of the new Perth stadium the guy who got the lemon-sars from the MCG for forking up the pitches?

I couldn't agree more, but there is no value in training Australian players to play that format.

Day 1 Perth on a green top, and the ball is running along the deck at ankle height off the Indian fast bowlers!

Then the ball spits at Harris from a good length.
Absolute sh!t from Khawaja again, dunno why he is so highly rated. One good bash in the UAE and nothing but flat-footed crap since.
3 for 130 and squandered a good start.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Don't understand why Handscombe keeps trying to run the ball in the air down to third man, keeps holing out to it. I fear that Handscombe is shy of the required ability at this level

Khawaja .... totally over him. How many chances does he get and he's still useless.
