We are slack is all. Several years ago CA spent lots of effort and money, no doubt, constructing at our Cricket Academy a pair of pitches using imported Indian soil with a view to replicate decks you will find in, say, New Dellhi or Mumbai. They then assembled the best spinners in the country for annual spin camps, all in a concerted effort to turn round our deplorable record in India. Did we train on these pitches prior to touring for current series. No we trained on a North Sydney deck that had been messed up to try to resemble what the tourists could expect to be playing on. A poor alternative to the Academy decks. Did CA insist on a similar deck to the ones they may encounter in the series, as a suitable warm up game when they arrived. Not on your nellie. There are scared stiff of the BCCI.
Does CA still hold these spin camps and more importantly do they still send our most promising red ball spinners/spin players to the sub continent region to play in junior competitions. Who knows. BCCI probably stopped them.

one solution is to actually play in India .. send the Aussie A or upcoming batsmen/bowlers to play district level cricket in India maybe ?
pay for their expenses it would be cheaper than simulating Indian conditions ... The soil is different the weather is different it would be hard to simulate all that.

[Westend]

He craps on in an interview before the tour that he is going to be positive and so far nothing

just waiting to get out as he should of been last over... there is no positive intent ..just waiting to get out and the whole world knows it

[11kgm]

Warner should have been gone just like Melbourne all over again

 

[grumbleguts]

was a superb idea to bowl Murphy and worse Murphy in tandem against the tail, instead of a pace spin pairing. India might have batted for four days and got us a draw.
