Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Bird must be played...... bizarre that he wasn't for this Test.
Watson must be dropped - can't get rewarding the carpola he produces...... fly in another 19 YO IF THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT....
Does Rogers get another go after that deplorable effort?
Way too many NSW guys in the team too. Smith? Meh?
Hughes - double meh.......Shaun Marsh is 6 times the player Hughes could ever be......
Voges? D. Hussey?
Mike Hussey saw the writing in the wall i reckon.
Is Clarke as Captain the problem?!!
Don't start me on the NSW thingy, despite the team problems they are not the only cause, they just started the stone rolling down a very slippery slope! And I won't even start on NSW Cricket's alleged links to the MCC manipulating player placement in County Cricket!
How to become a Australian Test player;
- Be born, play or move to NSW.
- Be a distant cousin, nephew or relative of a past NSW state or test player.
- Hack 50 runs off 20 balls in some limited over rubbish on a back block in Mudgee or similar off the radar location.
- Rip open the brown paper bag they delivered when your mum brought you home from hospital!
When Sheffield Shield Cricket died, Australian Test cricket became gravely ill!
Now we breed hacks courtesy of the big bash!
PS. Further to my hack statement, the juniors I sometimes help to coach tell me that David Warner and Phil Hughes are "Classical Batsmen." That says something about where our national sport is heading!
