Australian test selection 2018/19
- Thread starter Red
- Start date
Jeez, JL/CA are coming across as being totally inept
Literally all they had to say wrt selections is "this is the direction we've chosen but others might come into contention for next summer with good domestic performances blah blah blah"
Bringing up incorrect stats, irrelevant analysis, etc just makes them look like fools
What's more, they are doubling down on idiocy by conducting an interview process for the choice of a vc
Here's an idea
Determine which players are guaranteed selection for both this series and next summer
That leaves Lyon & Starc
Congratulations Nathan
Unfortunately, it seems inevitable that MMarsh will get the job which will look really stupid if he fails in the UAE as it will be impossible to justify his selection thereafter

His stint as batting coach coincided with a period of horrible batting and our loss of the Ashes in 2010...

Wouldn't surprise me if his answer to every batting-related issue from his players was "easy, just watch the ball more" over and over.
"But coach it's not working I keep getting edges"
"You're obviously not watching the ball hard enough"

To be granted a call up to the test XI as a bowler, awesome. But to debut in UAE is garbage, setting up to fail. It’s the kind of crap we expect from the selection panel.
Batting wise Maxi obviously can’t catch a break, bloke must be being saved to get his technique honed for an important home series. But I doubt our selectors are so kind.

I feel sorry for Burns. Poor bloke flies to South Africa after sandpapergate and shows some ticker as the Aussies get rolled, then they don't even pick him

This is pathetic. Really embarrassed to support Straya right now.

Burns is actually alright but for his problems against spin. Typical Australian player really.

Thing is, noone trained harder or worked to better themselves as a player than Langer. Squeezed out every last drop of talent. Not many blokes start a Test career with a shot arc roughly between point and gully then put on enough shots mid-career to almost match the tempo of ultra-aggressive blokes like Hayden, Ponting and the rest.
Bloke had laser focus and he probably really believes it's just a concentration issue or wanting it bad enough with these guys so I'm not too surprised he'd fall hard for the blokes hustling around the nets over uber-talented but wasting their potential types. He was the perennial touring bat for 5 years after being dropped the first time and often dropped at the first sign of trouble himself so I doubt he'd have a huge amount of sympathy for the predicament guys like Maxwell find themselves in either. Me personally, I don't think a guy like him makes for much of a technical coach but he might be a boon for guys who need some tough love like Khawaja.
