Where to now?

[ag6858]

After our abject batting performance today, where do we go now?
Do we just write today off as a poor performance and hope that we do better next time, or we undergo wholesale changes through our entire team structure.
We're an absolute joke at the moment and the you can only blame the rotations for so much. Something else is really wrong, and it needs fixing.

Start with a settled team, and don't consider selecting spuds like Hendriques (sp?) with sub par domestic averages.

 

[The_Reaper]

The problem is that we spent a good decade with extremely flat domestic wickets.
Thus all the players have shoddy techniques.

The Australian team needs a strong shield comp to be strong.

Stop the rotation policy and let the team bond again, your ideas didn't work ACB go back to the start.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Blame rotation because that is the reason batsmen can't play swing bowling or handle a pitch with a little bit in it.

panic and witch burning seem the only options

I'd say it's time for wholesale changes. They only made 6 changes for this match. That makes 5 blokes VERY lucky to be playing today.

that's loser talk

Luckily I like a good collapse so watching the Aussies fail to negotiate spin and then swing with any aptitude at all over the next 9 months should keep me entertained.

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!

Today was disappointing on a multitude of levels, I was hoping Moises could bowl Dilshan and Jayawardene back into some form, that said, at least it's interesting now.

Resurrect the Sheffield Shield competition and START preparing cricketers for 1st class cricket. Our love affair with the truncated form of the game is killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

 

[jko'neal]

The talent pool has worn thin IMO, we have a lot of very good first class (state level) players, but not many convince me they are capable at world level in 50 over and test cricket.

 

[Wayne Arnold]

Seems to be a lot of disharmony in the side due to the captain and his antics. Doesn't help that he's a selector.

Sorry last dig at Clarke but seriously, how did Henriques get a gig over Khawaja? I'm sick of all rounders that are just so and so at both crafts.

because you need to pick a team that can bowl 50 overs, which leads to bit part all rounders.

there wasn't many short balls so Khawaja would have been useless anyway

E.T was a true story
Paul Hogan has not had plastic surgery
There is life on mars
There's nothing wrong with the current Australian line up
