And that’s why every touring side should insist on having at least 2 four-day first class games to adjust to the pitch conditions in every country. instead of a couple of meaningless T20 or ODI’s.Particularly the extra bounce on Australian pitches.The lesser playing nations are being suicidal without preparations.

When King Kohli goes, India's golden era of Test cricket goes with him

Economy rate is just as important in white ball cricket

Gabba goodwill quickly fading as 'embarrassing' Windies set woeful new record in Canberra capitulation

Abbott with 22 wickets in 18 ODI’s is hardly a riveting record.

Australia ODI team vs West Indies: Debutants to have a ball at MCG but Victorian hopefuls snubbed

If the Test team is anything to be judged by the ODI team could remain unchanged and will deprive the ‘reserve’ players of game time or participating in the Shield

You need to go to cricinfo website or buy the abc cricket book.

Lyon? You must be joking!

Why isn’t Head captain? Surely CA has to look to the future not a short term fill-in.

Why doesn’t he just keep quiet and let his bat do the talking?

Smith delivers timely response to 'average' critics who don't think he's an opener

Neser has played 5 Shield matches this Summer (7 innings) : 7 wickets, Av 52,S/R 111. Hardly riveting figures.

Windies' dynasty decline a cautionary tale for Australian selectors with major transition period looming

Puc is one of the most overrated players in Australia.If he’s not hitting the ball with his head then he’s either injured,out of form or has ‘personal problems’.

Windies' dynasty decline a cautionary tale for Australian selectors with major transition period looming

So FC averages of Head is 40,Labuschagne is 45,Marsh 34,Green 45 , not exactly Bradman either.Did any of the above mentioned average 62 after 12 Tests?

That would be a blank page.

Overpaid prima donnas

He was facing a mediocre attack with the exception of Joseph who could only bowl every second over.

Every Aussie rated from second Test and series vs West Indies: Did Smith the opener get vindicated even in defeat?

Smith was facing a mediocre attack with the exception of Joseph who could only bowl from one end.

Test Mortem: Green’s golden status fading as batting unit becomes fragile, Windies need help to kick on from Gabba glory

Maybe their runs/averages might have something to do with the conditions of the WI first class pitches/fields.

Then he’ll have to be slotted into the “managed”category.

They bat in different positions.Imagine an NRL team without a specialist penalty/conversion/field goal kicker. You need a specialist opening batsman,not a fill- in.

No,but the selectors must see something there that is oblivious to the rest of cricket followers.

Besieged batting duo face moment of truth with Windies setting Aussies tricky target as Marnus slump continues

Put a media ban on all the players.Most of them talk rubbish.

Windies skipper shreds Aussie great over 'pathetic, hopeless' dig, Lara in tears over miracle win

Too busy being ‘managed’,personal reasons etc. The ODI squad played 11 games over 45 days! Hardly a taxing schedule.Surely they could have played 2 Shield games each to adjust to the more rigorous 5 day Test.

Obviously Renshaw.Isn’t he the 7th best batsman? Otherwise why is he included in the squad?

CA commentary is very average. Perhaps you would have seen the numerous play and misses if you watched the tv coverage.

Besieged batting duo face moment of truth with Windies setting Aussies tricky target as Marnus slump continues

Very few. Even when the Australian team returned from India recently most players were managed, need rest etc after playing 11 ODI games over 45 days with a 15 man squad.Pathetic

Doing it tough: Are modern cricketers really tasked with heavy workloads?

Most sides have been caught cheating overseas. Do some research.
