Should be his last Test Match also.......any danger of getting the entire panel to have played First Class Cricket this side of 1990???

Marsh isn't a tenth the player either of those guys were. But will we see him get a tap on the shoulder?

Agree with you there. It's a bloody road as we are getting ourselves out.Jim05 wrote:We are an outright disgrace. Club cricketers would be rightfully pissed if they were dismissed in this manner. I reckon all 5 dismissals have been from us getting ourselves out

Our cricketers are heading down the same path as our tennis players did 20 yrs ago. It's cultural. We are playing against nations who have individuals who would give a left arm to play. How many stories do we hear of the Indian player who would travel on a bike or train to training and would strive so hard. And when they made a century in domestic cricket they knew they have to push on to 150 to even get noticed above the 37 times 11 others pushing their case. No wonder they have depth and persistence and mental toughness.
The Aussie youngster doesnt care. He has a great life what ever his chosen path. He doesnt need cricket to make his life and his families life better. And guys like Weatherald and Short openly state they love Twenty20 as they dont have to hang around. Look at Travis Head... will never make the grade despite never failing to get a start he just cannot concentrate for any length of time.
And there lies the issues... not selectors nor coaches or pitches. Our generation of youngsters lack the persistence patience and concentration. They cannot be bothered learning (unless its a gamer on youtube) and have no motivation to aspire as they have all they need as it is.

as they said on the ABC yesterday, kids cricket these days up to U14';s are only allowed to make 20 or bat 4 overs, how can they learn patience and concentration as a younger player with crap rules like that.
Its all about the quick bash and quick grab for cash, kids and parents dont want to spend hours on end on a weekend playing/watching cricket when it can all be done and dusted in a few hours, sad but true
