I cant believe how low we've got.

A 4-0 series whitewash was not what I expected from the start.

I knew it was going to be tough series to win, so a 2-1 or 2-0 loss wouldve been expected.

There has to be some changes before the Ashes, and starting from the top with selectors and coaching staff.

The batting is a huge problem, especially the middle order. Since Hussey and Ponting have retired, there really hasnt been anyone capable to restoring the Australian innings when the openers fail.

Why is it lately we lose for the two, and in quick sucession we lose the next two wickets.

Is there any batsmen coming through thats capable of holding an innings besides Clarke?

Joe Burns? Alex Doolan?

The bowling will hopefully get better, but not sure of a threat to England. Of course Bird will come back in, and hopefully Cummins when he's fit. Starc, Siddle and Pattinson might hold their spots.

Johnson is finished.

Also Shane Watson, if he's in the side as an allrounder but doesnt bowl, surely his batting must come under fire. He needs to wake up to himself.

The spinners as usual were a problem in India, although Lyon did well in the last test. Why they even considered Doherty as the second spinner is beyond me. Maxwell bowled much better than him.

Steve Smith surprised me considering his selection, he battered well in the last test. But not sure if his role would be allrounder or just batsman if they were to pick him again.

Smiffy is not an all rounder, he is no more than a batsman who can bowl a bit, like Warner or Clarkey

I'm surprised he did so well for all his technical problems.

George Bailey would be in contention for the ashes I would imagine, averages 40 in FC cricket, has outstanding ODI form on the board. Give him the vice captaincy as well

 

[Xfactor1979]

Two possible days scheduled, WASTED, it would have been day 4 today

But the Australian players are back from that disaster

I guess we can all focus on Monday Night Football instead?

not sure if he'd hold up against Swan and Monty, he really is shit against spin

Time for Silks.
