The levels of stupidity on the part of this Nick Emery bloke is just in the 6th Dimension, literally can't comprehend what was going through his brain when he thought this was a good idea.

Was he playing Grade Cricket there or something?
Would have been the ODI series with the 2011 Ashes wouldn't it?

Well then to be fair we should also expect Aussies and English players to have stints in India to get used to turners as they mostly struggle on them. In fact Australian conditions is a whole different animal of it's own too.

Which brings me to the point of what are Australia and India's policy regarding foreign players anyways, if any at all? If they are really the "big three" of cricket they should have equal domestic policies to even out the playing field in cricket as all three mostly offers three distinct types of conditions: swing, bounce, and turners respectively, which varies by pitches obviously.

Instead of just the option to practice hitting big sixes in these countries for foreign players, more attention should be paid to this.It would be a lot better for the game too.
Reckon more Aus FC players have gone over to India and played cricket than those who haven't, through the Academy.
I don't think the respective Boards let Australian and Indian players travel and play in each others' countries in domestic competitions these days. Certainly Hayden went to India of his own volition and basically redefined his game against spinners to his great credit, but I don't know that those sorts of avenues are available to players nowadays.
Hayden just got some turners sorted out at the Academy in Brisbane, didn't he?

No he came off his own arrangements to India.. I assume he was sponsored by either the Australlian or the Queensland board but he definitely came here to improve his game against spin...

It's just stuck up policy. Let players tour around (relatively) freely in other countries' leagues, and we will have players who know how to excel under different conditions, and the home whitewashes can finally come to an end.

Call me crazy, but I quite like Stuart Binny.
Binny is okay. The thing I like about Binny is that he is a competitor. In an ODI XI in seaming conditions, I am quite okay with him as he can bat and bowl a bit.

How much difference is that making at the professional level? Can't say I have seen much of it in results.

Obviously whatever Hayden did would be a great example to follow as it did wonders for him. Or maybe it just sorted out the talent he already had so I don't know.

Pat Cummins looks way out of sorts compared with what I've seen in the past from him. Needs more bowling. A lot more bowling.

Sandhu again and Henriques? Shouldn't Australia be trying out Hazlewood and M Marsh to get their WC sqaud practice? Not understanding this at all.
