only rogers is really prepared to dig in and build an innings when it's tough. the rest it's see ball hit ball and when it's swinging they're brought horribly undone

We've won tests away from home
true, but some of our recent o/s series (subcontinent) have been absolute beltings
2-17, with 8 draws. I knew it was bad - 6 consecutive losses on the subcontinent - but those numbers are truly appalling. Of course after this summer when we bully NZ and the Windies, all will be rosy again.
How can you question the selection of Voges?! He was the best batsman in the shield by a mile last year. And I don't think the selectors planed on Haddin's daughter getting crook again... he'd be in the team if not for that.
And maybe we picked an 'older side' because it's our best side..
Won't happen. Boult and Southee will expose Australia's middle order, while Williamson, McCullum and Taylor will score enough runs to keep them in the game.
Voges was picked because he averaged bloody 100 in the shield this season. Yes he deserves to be dropped now, but the bloke was averaging a century FFS. He deserved to be in the team as a result.
Was more directed to people who didn't understand why Voges was selected. Then again some of those people would probably be crying out for Voges now if we didn't pick him.Chill.
Bombers was calling all summer for Voges to be selected.
Don't bother with him. He'll changes his mind every week

My feelings about Ryan Harris atm
In all seriousness, I've been disappointed by our tail's batting. Before Starc's half century, they have hardly fired a shot, when you could usually rely on them form 50 to 100 runs. It's not their responsibility, but it did come in handy.not convinced that he'd fix the batting woes

Compared to past years, we are in trouble. We bat deep, all the way down to 10, but very flaky and prone to collapses.If we're relying on the tail, then we are in even bigger trouble.
Our tail scores 50-100 runs on flat decks when the ball isn't swinging. Any cricketer with half-decent batting technique can survive for a while in those sorts of conditions, and if they're big strong guys like Johnson and Starc then they can bludgeon quite a a few runs before they get a ball good enough to dislodge them.In all seriousness, I've been disappointed by our tail's batting.
