Aussies leapfrog India in rankings despite neither team playing, Starc returns to form in IPL
Australia have reclaimed top spot in the ICC's Test rankings, replacing India. Despite not playing since winning 2-0 in New Zealand in March, Pat…
The Australian cricket team is in a transition period, with a new coach, captain and players in all formats apparently taking a toll on performance. Because they stink right now.
Since the ball-tampering incident, the team haven’t won a game – only managing a draw, against Pakistan, in the recent Test series.
It’s hard to know from the outside what’s going on with the team. The board is changing, which makes it hard for the coaches to know how to approach this period of transition.
The one day series against South Africa is meant to showcase the new way Australia want to play, but if the first game is any indication, they’re in trouble.
The selections were wrong, not playing a spinner was wrong, and players like D’Arcy Short and Chris Lynn – who are boundary hitters – need to get some ones and twos, but that didn’t happen.
The team need to look at how England got to No.1 in the world at ODIs, and if we’re serious about beating India in the Tests, we to pick a team to match.
Some should be focussing on red-ball cricket – i.e. playing Sheffield Shield – while those who perform in the JLT competition should be in line for the upcoming World Cup. It necessitates almost completely different teams from Tests to ODIs.
It’s the first time since I’ve been alive that so much change has happened at once for Australian cricket, which makes it exciting to watch.

This series’ twelfth and final team has a distinct West Indian flavour at the top of the order, and a domineering captain.

Australia are set to turn their back on rising star Jake Fraser-McGurk’s whirlwind IPL form and drop Steve Smith in their T20 World Cup…
It seems franchise cricket has forgotten about the great battle between bat and ball. In fact, this season in the IPL there is no battle at all.
The mammoth rise of Jake Fraser-McGurk - his enormous potential and the destructive shot-making that he possesses makes him a very tempting option.
