Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

I like Stoinis as a cricketer and think he is worth a try at test level, we have spent and wasted a lot of time trying to find our Botham/Flintoff allrounder type and while Stoinis isnt anywhere near that
calibre especially in terms of bowling I think he is a capable player who might blossom with opportunity.
Has a reasonable batting technique, bowls decent line and has that handy knack of picking up wickets..
I am very impressed with Stoinis. His bowling is more penetrative than Hilton Cartright for a start (I see him as a Steve Waugh type of relief bowler) , and his batting is light years ahead of both he & Marsh.....should be groomed for the number 6 spot before the Ashes series I believe. Cartright is just cannon fodder.
