I just think now - after Ponting's retirement, with Watto's nagging/on-going injuries AND the pasting we took in Perth (after being in with a chance in Brissy and Adelaide) - that it's time for Clarke and the selectors to sit down and build this team from top to bottom.
Need an opening pair who can put on 100.
Need a rock solid #3
Got Clarke and Hussey.
Need a batting bowler.
Need a wicketkeeper - couldn't care less if he scores or not - just a true 'keeper.
A decent spinner.
3 pace man - one who can genuinely swing it, one who fires at 145km and one to join him.
Not asking much. And not saying we don't have those players.
I'm tired of seeing/reading players with "potential" and in the side. Rather see players with weight of runs/wickets coming in.
I'd also like to see the batsmen take more on bowling (esp Warner who can spin it). Hell, if the bottom four can score 50's, surely the top 4 should be expected to chip in with 4-5 overs AND be a realistic chance of a wicket.
