TOPIC:

Couldn't agree more Mike. The whole thing including team culture, red and white ball performances and our standing on the international stage has turned to shit under Lehmann, Sutherland and Pat Howard's watch. I don't envy JL's job one little bit with idiots like Hohns and Greg Chappell pulling the strings.

Agree mikeh....totally clueless v spin...more so than any other country on the international circuit....even worse when the selectors have picked a side specifically to combat spin through the middle overs.....so little time left now before the WC......unsure on openers, middle order, allrounder, spinners.....power or conservative......Will take a miracle for this side to go deep in the WC.....

Not from the Herald Sun or The Age or any of the Vic based media (Warne, Ralph et al) and social media you wont BC!!

Good point....

Luckily the complete NON BIASED wa media are so fair as well

After 7 overs another great performance by Richardson. Skidding the ball and surprising the batsman with his pace.
Just talking about Superstars of this 50 over game.MS Donhi wow so cool at the wicket.

Scary thing about the Indians they have another 4 or 5 in the shed who cant get a game!!

At this point of time you could say they were favourites for the World Cup, but they only played a weak Aussie team, so hard to judge.

True 58, but dhoni Kioli bumrah jadaya are world class, heck even Pant cant get a game.

England are the overwhelming favorites for the World Cup but India will be their main rivals and these two will play off in the final IMO. As for Australia, they will be struggling to beat Afghanistan as they have a couple of decent spinners which the batsmen will no doubt have some problems with.

Mitch Johnson puts an interesting spin on who he thinks should captain Aust at the ODI WC....Maxwell......definitely left field, but can't see any changes to the captaincy being made so close to the comp.....all depends on giving Finch enough opportunities to bat his way out of his current slump.....Will go either way....be interesting to see what happens if Finch fails v India and Pakistan.....can't even say too good a player for that to happen.....average at best

That’s it freeze, an average player. The team has too many of them. If they dont take a few chances and change a few faces, this World Cup will be an agonazing watch.
