    Australia A tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe

    The selection of the batting line up is terrible but I don't mind Cummins selection. It's a good opportunity to work him back into long form cricket and he's already had a big break since the Zimbabwe game. If he can't survive this workload then he's no chance of lasting a shield season.

    Importance of good pitches for cricket development

    I personally think that pitches most impact with the transition between First Class and Test Cricket. Countries which have a good variation of pitches tend to produce cricketers better able to step up to Test level while those which don't tend to have players who struggle initially at the very...

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    You could say the same about Hughes and Warner though and at least with them you know that if they get in they have the ability to go long. As it stands a significant portion of our batting line up prefers to face the new ball and Watson's constant starts ultimately end up wasting the conditions...

    Surprised Wade took a catch off spin tbh.

    Australia A tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe

    Would definitely rather Maddinson and Silk opening/playing over Finch and Marsh considering that neither are likely to get a Test call up. Better to at least give the young guys more exposure and look towards the future.

    the current Australian squad gets sacked, who would you replace them with?

    Replace Silk with Voges or Bailey and Ferguson with Burns and the above would probably be my choice. Doolan would swap batting positions with whoever replaces Silk. The team would probably perform worse than the current Australia side though IMO.

    Does anyone think Australia's situation is not actually that dire?

    We've decided to begin recruiting South Africans. This will not only bolster our own faltering batting stocks but decimate English stocks in the process. You'll have this decade but we'll take the next.

    Why does everyone hate Shane Watson?

    He ruined He-man as far I'm concerned. Edit: on top of being a dick.

    Pattinson Out of the Rest of the Series

    Should be called in as Patto's replacement tbh. I'm counting on him crushing the Australian line-up though.

    Does anyone think Australia's situation is not actually that dire?

    Our batting has been quite poor and I don't think there's any way we could honestly turn it around in a short time without doing unrealistic (for the selectors) moves like dragging Hussy and/or Katich back into the team. Chances are even with them we'd still struggle to forge any real...

    Potential International Trades

    We might as well just use Chris Hartley and keep J-Bird for ourselves in that case.

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's

    This to me is where the problem really is and not with younger bats not performing since even great bats often struggle when they are young. Clarke's not only our best batsmen but the only reliable batsmen (average 40+) in this age group. Australia really needed Jaques, Watson, Voges, North etc...

    Watson is such a POS. Seriously needs to GTFO already and give anyone else a go.

    SA 2013 vs SA 1970 vs Aus 2006

    I'd regard the current SA side to be behind the Aussie side. Both sides have 2 Gun Bowlers (although Philander still has to prove himself in the longevity department) but the Australian side has an excellent batting line up. The SA batsmen have a tendency to all fail at once although I suppose...
