Cricket Australia Is In Crisis



So 4 players get dropped for not doing their "homework" which was to give feedback to the coach on how to improve the side. Clarke has said that there is more to it but we all want to know what. Whenever 4 players are stood downs like this you know there is a problem within the team and I am not surprised.

Clarke unfortunately has a poor record with player management & Mickey Arthur is ensuring that he should be watching his back as the Australian public want an Australian back in charge. Darren Lehmann needs to be selected. If you don't agree with me on Clarke then look back to how he helped destroy Andrew Symonds career.

Clarke has also shown he is a hypocrite when he has openly stated - "We cannot accept mediocrity here. This is the Australia Cricket Team."

If this is the case then why is half of the team being selected on average statistics and retaining their spots on very poor performances. Yet the management has sent home the one impressive bowler in Pattinson, who has put everything in for his country on the field and Khawaja, who should have been playing from the 1st test due to better performances in  to domestic cricket then those in the side. It is also a sign of poor captaincy & management when on of the players involved is the vice-captain.

With 3 of the players being sent home being either Queenslanders & or Queensland Bulls players is there more to the story to unfold as this has all come about since it was named that Brad Haddin was named as the replacement for the injured Wade.

It may seem un-Australian of me but I am hoping that this side gets soundly beaten by India again. The constant selection of mediocre players & the retention of players who are not performing has me at a point where I will boycott cricket until major change occurs. There are problems within Cricket Australia from top to bottom and I cannot see anything improving until they admit they are not doing a good job. Cricket Australia is in crisis and if they don;t think they are then there is the start of the problem.
