Let's hope we lose and some changes get made

No more Cummins, Warner, Finch etc

 

[danstar]

100% agree, wheres the new generation of players coming through, i see 0 hope for the future once these players all retire and that isnt that far off

 

[StillAtLarge]

Hope we get flogged, the Lankans are way more likeable than us. Hope they can go all the way but if they don't Pakistan are the other side I'll be rooting for...

Bit harsh 11kgm I'm hoping for a win.....and a late change when greenie comes in and smashes a hundred

I would like to make some changes....but I think warner is good enough for this format... was the player of the last WC

He still has a lot to provide .


But as I said in another thread if we lose tonight and Finch fails again....we could get some changes

Green did well against the spin vs India. Surely we need him against Sri Lanka’s spinners

Heaps of guys that are good enough and they keep picking the same names, guys like Richardson,Ellis,Phillippe,McDermott would be playing for most other countries.

Warner has been pretty good TBF.

They literally have a bloke who killed someone and then magically had his charges go away opening the batting.

Phillippe 10 T20Is Avg 13.8 SR 109.5
McDermott 23 T20Is Avg 15.8 SR 94.3.

They'd obviously come in and kill it.

I’m sure they’ve checked for potential duel citizenships at this rate

we have 0 talent coming through, cause the pathways that are out there, arent acheiving anything. A serious overhaul is needed by Cricket Australia into what is going on to encourage people to make the choice of cricket over football

The definition of insanity needs to be updated to include a picture of the Australian selectors

Or Finch winning the toss and bowling.

No I disagree we do have talent coming through the issue atm is they are not been given opportunities and older players are hanging on. WA coloured program is very good and we are producing good young cricketers...Whyllie Jhye hardie to name a few

Phillipe Green Mcdermott Ellis....thats four that can play t20 atm also Inglis is still young plus we have david so that's six young players

I think the big issue with us atm is that we cannot have players play all three formats....maybe some of the batters can but the bowlers its just not sustainable

Starc Hazelwood and cummins really should be told to just concentrate on one format the tests and we need specialists to play in the t20 format like england does

 

[Westend]

Also I think the public is just getting sick of seeing the same players game after game

Warner Finch Starc Cummins Hazelwood etc

public wants something fresh

yet we still have all this "sandpapergate" stuff being brought up
