Did you miss the bit about "play each ball on it's merits"?Seems like a tactic.
If they do this and Jadeja darts them in at 98kmh and they run past it you won't criticise I assume?

I would counter that he got PLENTY of chances.His generation's Bevan, prolific talent but never quite got the chance to fully realise it.
They should just simply do this. We've solved batting in India.Did you miss the bit about "play each ball on it's merits"?
Losing Mike Hussey before the 2013 series was a major loss.Granted but that 2013 squad was an even weaker iteration and iirc was also incredibly fractured with the whole homework saga. Cringing just thinking about it.
I'm not saying that it's a linear relationship between the number of tour games played and success in India/overseas. You can spend months meticulously preparing and still fall short. The 'hurr durr tough cricket' crowd are going to hate it but it is also important to take player welfare into account and try to balance it with tour demands.
On current evidence though, it may have been beneficial to have at least spent a bit more time over there preparing rather than having the top order play a few Big Bash games, which was a very thinly veiled publicity stunt designed to boost interest in an ailing league.
Or, indeed, anywhere.They should just simply do this. We've solved batting in India.
Given that he's barely got on the field in the last eighteen months and the chances of him playing were pretty slim in the first place it's hard to see why he was there. You'd think he might have been better at home getting fully fit for the Ashes. Just another selection **** up.
Makes you wonder why Hazelwood was there in the first place.
Oh the news tonight said he wont play again this seriesWhen was it announced Warner is returning home?
I know the other two, but haven't heard about Warner
Henry Hunt…..The age profile of the Aussie team of late is bit of a worry.
If you look at what has been our preferred XI of late
Warner 36
Khawaja 36
Marnus 28
Smith 33
Head 29
Green 23
Carey 31
Starc 33
Lyon 35
Cummings 29
Hazelwood 31
Regular backups are Handscomb 31, Neser 32, Boland 33
As I mentioned earlier we have young spinners and quicks coming thru but the batting is a worry
This also should have been the mature side capable of giving India a fair shake.The age profile of the Aussie team of late is bit of a worry.

On paper its an incredible side. Trouble is half of the attack are injured and 1 of the openers seems to have lost his "eye".This also should have been the mature side capable of giving India a fair shake.
Murphy is the best find since Green.Yeah,
You can keep looking in your cupboard, but when it’s empty, it’s empty.
It will turn given time. Quality talent picks itself really.
Ive been super impressed with Murphy. I hadn’t seen much of him, but genuine quality there.
He needed a holiday? Fancy the curries?Why'd they *en take Hazelwood at all ?
McSweeney probably looks the best of them, in terms of balancing runs, average, consistency and 'youth'.No one on this list seems young and exciting…

Comes down to coaching and philosophy.If you don't like the reverse sweep, then best not to watch the women's world cup. It's mazing the number of players which are attempting it and most are failing at present. Even Ireland, whose line up is basically all amateur, were trying to reverse sweep.
All this discussion re the sweep shot is similar to the discussion of how come nobody plays the hookshot.
calm down mate jesus christIm against poverty. It doesn’t mean I’m going to, or should have to, give away every cent I DONT need, to charity.
Im against domestic violence, mainly caused by alcohol. It doesn’t mean I’m going to stop drinking beers here and there.
Im against overfishing. It doesn’t mean I won’t keep the occasional Murray Cod that I land.
F*en hell let. It. The f*. Go.
Like everyone a guy has views on stuff. What the f*** does it matter to you?
Bevan had plenty of opportunities, started like a shot out of a gun in Pakistan but was maligned (perhaps unfairly) as being susceptible to short pitched bowling. In any case he had enough opportunities (even as a left arm chinaman - am I allowed to say that anymore?) to make it but unfortunately never could. An excellent thinker on the game and a pretty genuine bloke.His generation's Bevan, prolific talent but never quite got the chance to fully realise it.
