Thread: Australian Cricket Team Crisis

1. Retain Hayden. He'll come good.
2. Hours upon hours of bowling practice for the bowlers.
3. Scrutinise Pontings Captaincy decisions and retrain if necessary.
3. Reduce 20/20 and ODI commitments until team come good at and regain hunger for tests.
4. Review selectors (Hilditch?)

Cheers
Ralph

Don't you mean..

1. Dump Hayden
2. Batting practice for the batsman (bowlers don't need any)
3. Appoint Clarke as captain
4. Have separate 20/20, 50/50 and test teams
5. Fresh and adventurous selectors.
6. Disallow any test cricket players to partisipate in advertising promotions such as Ford and KFC.

leave them going as they are and hope they are still sh*t for the next ashes series

give em time to rebuild

bring some young blood in and back i.e. give em 3 or 4 tests to settle in, gain experience, constant dropping and promoting on a test by test basic won't work

matt tha bat to score a double century in sydney....than symonds won't need to bat

Just totally drop the team altogether

remain calm and accept that you can lose on the odd occasion - it is a sport, and one of the teams have to lose eventually.
I am glad the SA's are winning for a change (being an import), but leave your team alone, they are just going through a phase and will come good again.

They'd never ever do this. I was listening to the radio a while back with lots of the sports represantitives on and they said it was the way they fund their retirement as they don't make enough to do so just by playing sport. I'm pretty sure that's true. I don't know how I'd ever survive on a proffessional sports persons wage I'd be buying new vehicles every year.
