Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Be nice if we left slightly more juice in these pitches..... YAWN.
It just shows who is running cricket these days - imagine if we prepared our pitches to meet the Poms' requirements
No wonder New Zealand are winning every series at home of late, they must be the only team in the world that play on wickets with any grass or sideways movement....
India have stuffed cricket with all their money, IPL comp, we have more match fixing(hello Chris Cairns and Lou Vincent) thanks to all the dirty money in the game and
players like Glen Maxwell getting a million bucks a season to play cross batted park cricket is ridiculous IMO..
Players like Chris Gayle have turned their back on their country for Indian money and the Windies are just a basket case in terms of cricketing structure back home and are a 3rd world team.....half of Pakistans team are in jail for match fixing.
Australia, England, South Africa are about the only countries who you can trust to be fair dinkum when they go out to play these days.....
We should exclusively turn our Test Cricket into a Tri-Nations comp among these 3 sides.........tell the rest they can get stuffed & play amongst themselves. England & Aus are the only countries that still get crowds (& therefore revenue) by turning up in droves to test matches, that's why all the other sides want to play us.
