By the by, the Australian cricket team was embarrassed again last night.
That's because the selectors adopted a policy of not picking the best players available to them
our current cricket selector are the worst ever, as evidenced by our results
lol. Thumped India at home, beat the windies away, lost 1-0 to SOuth Africa (the best team in the world) when we really were on top for one test and much of another one, beat sri lanka 3-0 and then had a bad series in India, a place we were never going to do well in.
Couldnt give a toss about the champions trophy personally.
Selectors did pick a poor Indian squad, but the squad for the Ashes is pretty reasonable (considering our batting talent is really poor at present).
I think we're losing games because players (especially batsmen that arent Clarke) are showing poor discipline at the crease, either chasing too many balls they dont need to (Warner, Wade, Watson and probably Haddin now he's back) or getting themselves completely bogged down by not looking for singles (Hughes) or ticking the strike over.
Im not saying the selectors are great (Maxwell ffs) but I think Australia's problems go well beyond the selectors, and more towards the way we're playing the game at different levels and the issues surrounding T20's effect on the game.
