Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3688676, member: 8423"] Surely the batsmen have to come good at some point BUT given they have all been really poor for two years now, there has to be something more to it. They've really dropped off at test level since the coaching change. And when has it ever worked to go into a series with almost zero preparation and then come off successful? Australia have played no series in preparation, most of the side little to no FC except for Carey, Khawaja and Lyon really. Then between tests, when it was painfully clear they were severely underdone, they haven't gone and played any cricket. Meanwhile the very ready India side have played a competitive day-night match where they got everything they wanted out of it. This series' preparation has been almost non-existent. Australia might play themselves into form at some point but very likely, the series will already be well and truly over by the time they do. And, why are they carrying injured players? No one at all in the side has been playing well enough to deserve to keep their spots injured. You've got Webster in the squad, you've got Inglis (both the form FC players), why not use them? Are either of them going to do worse than current Smith (apparently injured), Labushagne or Marsh? [/QUOTE]
