I remember when Warne was at his peak and the line that would always come up either in cricket journalism or the match commentary was that all the young kids watching the cricket would want to be as good as Warne and Australia would never be in want of a good spinner again.

A bowling lineup of Bird, Siddle and Pattinson seems to be a not-crap option provided they're all healthy.

quote:Obviously not the bit about being bowled out for 45, but certainly about the captaincy drama and the hamfisted handling of the fall-out by the officials, sure. In that sense Australian cricket has been pretty stable since Kim Hughes gave up the captaincy.

quote:Minus Pattinson and Clarke this has to be the worst Australian team I have ever seen in my time following cricket. If they went the total youth policy and picked guys with a heap of potential I wouldn't mind so much that they were getting spanked as long as they were working toward some future goal. Instead guys are getting picked for Australia with serious flaws in their game like Watson/Hughes/Cowan/Wade or guys who are just below international standard, i.e Maxwell/any current 'spinner'. Well often those players with flaws in their game are the ones with potential, presuming they can fix those flaws. I don't know how many 18 year olds with flawless technique are out there to choose from. The only thing preventing Australia from hitting absolute rock-bottom at this point is Clarke and a decent pace attack.

We just need a couple of people who can grind out an innings and not come in to bat at 5-117 and try and tonk them all over the place like an idiot. An idiot named Maxwell.

Nothing wrong with that attitude at all. It'd be nice if the actual players in the team supposedly chosen for their batting protected their wicket though.

Australia should just pick a team entirely made up of pace bowlers with a couple of spinners and ditch the idea of dedicated batsmen entirely.

Can Bell and Agar share player of the match accolades? just to clarify: the only Australian player who didn't really contribute this match was Cowan, right? edit: and Clarke lol Seams fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Jul 14, 2013 |

Coucho Marx posted:Is there anyone who's actually a longer-term captaincy prospect? Clarke's back isn't good, and Watson's fragile. Haddin's at the end of his career, Cowan might not last in the side, Hughes is a nervous wreck, and Smith, ha ha. Shame about Paine, wasn't he tauted as a possible captain before his injury? So I guess Wade then. Agar. He's not the new Warne he's the next Benaud.
