Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

This was managed poorly IMO. Clarke should have been dropped sometime ago but was persisted with because he was the Captain. If he had been given the opportunity to regain form then we may not have found ourselves in the same predicament. It was the same with Watson, who wasn't even captain FFS.
I agree, but who would have replaced Clarke as Captain, Haddin, Bailey?
The cupboard is bare because cricket in Australia is not being developed administered equitably, there are too many excellent players leaving the sport because you can't get a game if you're not the In-law, relation of friend of some official, and because form is not being rewarded!
Cricket is suffering the same fate as Carlton, is has become too focussed on team harmony and not focussed enough on performance!
