Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2346509, member: 1828"] Amen Ning. That's how Aussie Cricket works at the moment unfortunately and probably will for a while to come. Re: the tail. Yeah, England's is pretty darn good and ours usually is too, so we need to watch that and restrict them like we did in Brissy. But I agree with Beads about Haury's batting as well. I hated watching his straight breaks and wasn't keen on him in the team for that reason, but in our current situation, a spinner who can bat well is something we need. Instead of hoping the next Warne will come along soon, we need to except that the spin department is a weakness, adjust accordingly and play someone who has the potential to be a solid bowler at Test level but can also handle a bat quite well. Otherwise, there's no point in having a spinner for the sake of it, especially on mainly pace-friendly pitches (worked OK in RSA). Krejza was my first choice when the big changes started to come in, but now, taking a punt on youth, I'd prefer O'Keefe as a spinning all-rounder until a real spinner who'll take wickets makes himself known. We'll see how X goes for now though - he doesn't seem to be too bad with the bat and he's certainly no Peter George thank f**k. [/QUOTE]
