Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Rumors floating around Johnson is about to pull the pin, I can't blame him.
A cricket administration and media dominated by former batsmen has harassed and harangued the curators of grounds to produce batsmen friendly pitches, the net result is the disgrace we see at the WACA. A former pace bowlers nirvana turned into a pitch for flat track bullies. No wonder blokes like Johnson have had enough, their plight is beyond hope.
I find it ironic that the media types now spend all their time complaining, when they are the primary cause! They got what they wanted and now they are not happy about it!
This trend to build roads is crazy, it's killing the sport. Get a job with the council those behind this craziness! You might as well play cricket with tennis balls and racquets!
Perhaps it's time to ban drop in pitches and replace technology with skill and diversity?
Sixes and fours are good for TV, but falling wickets aren't too bad either!
