What amazes me regarding the Australian team that was picked to go to England immediately after the Centenary Test was that the selectors picked only one opening batsman to go on tour who wasn’t 100% fit, and that was Rick McCosker. Ian Redpath and Alan Turner who were bona fide openers who missed out on the 17 man squad, and Richie Robinson who opened the batting with McCosker in the Ashes series in England was really a back-up or understudy to the number one wicket keeper in the touring squad, Rodney Marsh. No wonder Australia lost the Ashes 3-0.

He said the WSC guys cared more about negotiating their contracts than winning games of cricket and the non WSC guys thought why bother when some of their teammates didn't care, as you say it's no wonder England rolled them 3 zip in that series.
