Yeah fair point. I'll happily add Carey to the positives.

Hauritz literally played for NSW most of his career and would've had SFA test caps without that. He couldn't turn the ball for s**t

Nah. Murphy will be good, precocious talent. IMO best spinner in the country.

Yes you can. You pull the test squad out of hit and giggle and send them for preparation. Some of the players should have been managed during the South
African series to prevent injuries(Hazlewood, Green, Starc)

That's exactly what the selectors will say, we have no-one else

She's over
What we did in 2004 was incredible and that was before India knew their worth

I’m calling it early and pulling up stumps on this series. If CA are not prepared to take this seriously with a vision to conquer abroad, then I ain’t wasting anymore time watching this garbage. Wish the boys well and don’t begrudge them picking up their pay checks, but I’m done as a fan.

Preventing an innings defeat would be a good effort from here.

Cool your jets bro, word on the street is that Ronald McDonald is in trouble and could be replaced by a Kiwi in Dan Vettori in the not too distant future.

Best case scenario for Australia is lose but get some decent efforts from their batsmen in the 2nd inning
Zero chance of a win or draw.

Agreed.
there was an article about Renshaw trying to tread the fine line between BBL and preparing for India.
Edit: Here it is, As Australia prepare to take on India, Matt Renshaw is pulling off one of cricket's great juggling acts
Hint: Make a decision which is more important to you.

Hauritz was too soon after Warne - we had a generation of thinking spinners would destroy sides, and despite being perfectly serviceable, the selectors showed no patience.
Lyon was the same - no world-beater early on but by then we'd been through so many that it was his job by default, and he grew into the role.
We have been so underprepared. 2017 we prepared for ages. It sounds like India is filling in time before the Ashes. We have been like a deer in headlights in their conditions. Maybe we'll be satisfied just beating India in the WTC final.....dunno. All I know we have go to India as unprepared as any side could be
We are preparing for the Ashes (and probably the WTC final) though with blokes going over to play County Cricket early.

lol I'm going to let you in on a little secret
We weren't prepared in 2017, Smith averaged 70 to almost carry us to a win

Where do blokes play to prepare for India?
Hell, we don't even play a warm up game because they'd prepare a pitch akin to the Gabba
We literally played agar and Renshaw at the SCG in preparation for India (for all the good that did us - both are still bewildering selections at any time)

What is a dry wucket? And why does spin spun left to right instead of like water round the toilet bowl?
Also (more seriously) what did we expect without a decent batsman who could handle leg and arm spin in a non T20/Big Bash environment?? It is almost as if the only technique Australian batsmen learn these days against any kind of spin, and especially wrist spin, is dramatic slogs to the boundary or block shots back down the crease.
Bring back the days of Bruce Laird and Geoff Marsh batting, plenty of time to get a cuppa or take a leak...

We did prepare well for quite a while before it and batted pretty well on a diabolical turner first up. If we could have chased 188 then in the 2nd Test then the series was done there.

Starting to think the pitch shenanigans were all for show. Seems to have achieved its purpose if that's the case. Well played.

Love the love for Renshaw, plays a lazy cross bat block and out first ball so promote the turnip to open next test.
