Does Cricket need a strong Australia?

Hear this a lot but have always thought it was a bit of a cop-out by the guys concerned. To play Test cricket, you have to be both talented and resilient so I don't buy that they have less insight into their own games. Just think they don't wanna be good coaches and commentators. Greg Chappell isn't a poor coach because he doesn't understand how to impart technical advice to batsmen, for example.

Pretty much, the logic behind it (ie. Players who didn't perform as well must have gotten the best out of their talent more so than the better players) is very weak

I reckon Hayden would be a fantastic batting coach.

"Go out there, hit 180000 balls in the nets and then make 15000 first class runs and you'll be right at test level."
