Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2176438, member: 1828"] Yep, I absolutely loath that attitude that has plagued our selection process, particularly during our period of dominance where such faults in the way we bring players through to the top of the system didn't have much of an effect, if any. This summer we were finally pulled down from the perch and have now well and truly come back to the pack, so now is the perfect time to start playing in-form youth and set a plan for the next generation of players to take the team right back to the top. Time to stop trying to hold on to the past, or what worked in the past, and accept the current reality. Who cares if it takes another 12-18 months or longer and a couple of series defeats here and there to get a new, highly competitive, consistently winning team together that can stick around for many seasons to come? And perhaps give 4 straight WC wins a read hot go in the ODIs? Surely it can't be any worse than banking on out of form old favorites or blokes rushing back from injuries struggling for match practice? It really is time to clean out the current selectors, review any selection policies that are holding the team back, put in place a plan of progression over a certain time frame and FFS give the in-form youth a go! Phil Hughes MUST tour Seth Effrika, end of IMO. Couldn't give a rats if he fails most of time, we can't let another obvious talent like that rot in State cricket for another 10-12 years and give us 4-5 years of Test cricket in his 30s. We simply can't afford to that any more. Again, the selectors can't keep living in the past. [/QUOTE]
