What is CA spending the TV money on. We're getting worse in all forms of cricket despite the big $$$ poured in.

From what I have read Greg Chappell has a lot to answer for.

It sure as f**k ain't been spent in juniors.

 

[hineyrulz]

Well my draw bets looking in trouble.

A couple of weeks ago, a mate of mine was at an u16 NSW day with young bowlers.

First thing they did was get the group of 50 kids together and line them up. They then pointed out 25-30 of them and told them to leave. The reason - they were considered too short and that they wouldn't grow any taller and by their reckoning wouldn't make the height to be a decent fast bowler. So despite any stats, ability, skill, heart or enthusiasm...these kids were cast off like a used franga.

That's where cricket is at in Australia.

I reckon they'll change the 'benchmark' score from 30 down to 20

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Great levers there

 

[El Diablo]

we are nearly as bad as New Zealand's best ever Test team

 

[Eelectrica]

Darsh power! At least their wasn't a fielder there.
Just another hundred of those and we're in business.

 

[King hit]

That was a great shot

How is that dinosaur still in job, way way way past his use by date

 

[Haffa]

We need a proper shield season half a BBL season and maybe some proper one dayers at state level.

Please tell me this is not true.

Imagine being invited to an U16s rep day based upon skills you’d shown at age level only to have some f**khead coach dismiss you without seeing you bowl a ball.

You’d never play or watch the game again.

Just saw Travis Head’s wicket and well it could be excusable in the 50th over of an ODI..maybe

 

[Sphagnum]

He only needs to hit another 50 of those and the pressure will be back on India again

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Cummins slept in those pads.

He knew this rail wreck was coming too.

Same mentality is in RL & RU

It’s really no different to missing out on a rep team because little johnnie’s mother is the scorer, billy’s dad is the coach and the team manager has 4 son’s all the same age.

Yep.

Junior cricket is in crisis but it's cool...Woolworths and brightly coloured shirts will save us. A lot of the investment has gone in to girls and women's cricket too. A lot.

Fair dinkum, I've never seen you offer a comment of any worth

It is true. Criminal...but true.
