Everyone is saying Australian cricket has lost players of the caliber of champions such as Warne, McGrath, Hayden, Martyn, Gilchrist and Langer recently, but what success plan do we have? All the selectors have been doing is re-applying band-aids to cracks that keep opening.
The preparation of the Australian team leading up the Ashes was a joke: playing in India beforehand, the poor performance of the team in England against Pakistan, the poor coaching letting Mitchell Johnson just let his action go to rubbish, and so on. (If Johnson can’t swing the ball he shouldn’t be in the team.)
The Australia A game was an example of a waste of time: White made a hundred and no one else made runs, and Steve O’Keefe picked up wickets. And look where they are…not in the team.
Steve Smith is batting at 6 and used as a part time bowler, yet he hasn’t made a run all season or taken any wickets.
Our batting has been disgraceful: three batsmen average over 25. Hussey is a number 5 and so is Watson (he isn’t an opener) and Haddin is a keeper. So when they fail as they did in Melbourne we make 98. What a joke. Phil Hughes do I say anymore?
