Hell we ain't what we once were when we had Warne McGrath Gilly Hayden and Punter firing away but we can easily still be on the top 3 nations in World cricket at this point in time. We ain't even close with the posers we have in the team. How the hell Glenn Maxwell ever got picked to play test cricket shows that the selectors and coach have NFI. The bloke is barely a 20-20 cricketer. Toss in the slog merchant in Warner and a bloke who is all eye in Hughes and you can see why we cant ****ing bat?? Couple that with our useless and disgraceful rotation policy and the lack of discipline from most of them it is a national ****ing disgrace what has become of this team.

Hell there are only 2 things that will make me happier than this team getting fixed up. Kales elevation to the HAL side and the firing of GVE Middleby and co from the Jets
Not being a cricket follower, just what I read in the papers and see on the news, it looks to me that there is more to it than the former coach. Cricket has been a basket case for some time. The rotation policy was there before the sacked coach. If indeed the rotation policy is bad. Who knows what the real problem is?
Having said that win the ashes and all will be forgotten. But the problem remains.
