Should be reversed.
On paper we have a lot of depth and talent. On field it just doesn’t come together at all well.
Langer has a big job ahead of him to rebuild this side. Not just rebuild in the sense of winning but rebuilding the psyche of the whole of Australian cricket.
The selectors and CA, along with Lehman, have a lot to answer for for the disintegration of Australian cricket. It has started at domestic level and has been carried into the senior side.

I disagree with our depth and talent. These blokes are not up to international standard. How some of these techniques and flaws have got through domestic cricket is staggering. Barely anyone in the current setup would have got a game in almost any other era

As I said, CA, Lehman and the selectors have a lot to do with what is going on now. These blokes are quite talented, the issue is though they have been pushed into T20 cricket which requires no great technique and is ruining them.
They are talented, they have been ruined technique wise due to CA.

Although thanks to my mate informing me that SA were $2.46 before the start of play…
Bird, Cummins, Patinson, Burns, Renshaw…
Throw in Smith, Warner and the other bloke…Bancroft.
The team has problems, the entire set-up has problems, but I don’t have any time for this ‘Australia’s no good because they’re jerks.’
That’s just really stupid.
I reckon it has a lot to do with our best players never playing domestic cricket unless it’s 20/20 hit and giggle stuff once they start their international careers. Any young guys rising through the ranks only get to face the also rans, the never were’s, the old guys sliding into retirement, and young guys like themselves. And the coaches and selectors have no balls. And favouritism is rampant. We run almost the perfect recipe for disaster.

Development at State and district level is apalling aswell. Trav has had the same technical flaws since a junior and yet he hasn’t been pulled up on it. Having been myself involved at junior district level in the past I’ve seen how shocking it has become

That’s what they did.
Wonder if Foxtel bought the rights to all the lethal weapon movies

That’s the technique issue and the impact of T20 cricket.
Some awful shot selections.
And techniques.
This is abysmal.
