So painful watching a bloke get picked for Australia when at age 32 he is averaging 39 in FC cricket. Chris Lynn & Joe Burns >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shuan Marsh.

Absolute disgrace. The extra batsmen really helped:mad:. Better off going with extra bowler, they are usually the ones toughing it out when batting is tough these days.

Clarke the worst of the lot. He should step down as captain immediately after this thrashing. Ashes all but gone.

Yep players simply weren't good enough or prepared to put in the effort to change their game to suit english conditions. They decided that no we'll just play our natural game and that will be good enough, rather than actually put in a bit of bloody time adapting. Partners and families are always around in the Australian summer travelling with the players, don't see anyone pointing out how beneficial it must have been to have them around every time we win a home series.

No or minimal families around certainly hasn't helped when we go to india or dubai for a tour over the last 10 years. Would be nice for a former player or reporter to come out and say they just didn't put in the work required or commit to the fact that adjustment was needed.

Love Haydo. Will always be my favorite cricketer. Him and Vossy. Love em to bits.

Clarke was a better on field captain than Ponting without much of a doubt. He goes out as one of our greats in my book.
