Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Warner gets a hundred and all of a sudden is the doyen of all cricket knowledge ....... FFS !!
Just watch the next Test, don't be expecting back-to-back tons, it won't happen, he'll fail again but everyone will be saying "he got a century in the first Test".
His form line is like a roller-coaster ride, one really good big score following by a lot of coughs and splutters, then another really good score followed by a lot of coughs and splutters.
He is way too inconsistent for me as well as being a 'heart in the mouth' type of player because he approaches every innings like it is a 20/20 slogfest.

Having said that, I agree he's a goose and could just as easily throw his innings away. TBH I reckon he's the kind of guy who gets worse when he's seeing them like watermelons because he plays to many shots.
My main concern is Smith. He's an eye player, footwork is appalling against quality pace. Yes, he'll make scores here and there, but he's suspect and unreliable.
Smith, Warner and Hughes.
See the connection, NSW 20/20 hacks masquerading as test players.
As Sheik mentioned they swing the axe and get one good innings every 5 or 10 and the GTV 9 media pump them up like Bradman.
In reality there are a hundred state level and regional players who show just as much skill as that trio but haven't been given the opportunity! FFS, Smith was recruited as a leg spinner to replace Warne and gave it away to chase the big dollars in the IPL as a batsmen!
