What's new

Has Anderson-Tendulkar 2025 series been the 2nd greatest five-Test match series in the modern era after Ashes 2005?

I think Australia has trouble finding replacements. They recently tried Mcsweeney , Konstas. Both look miserable. THey even tried Smith as opener. That experiment failed. Now they are trying Cam Green at 3 in place of Labu. Talent is not coming through. There is no way in hell a guy like Khawaja should still beplaying
yeah Khawaja is well past his sell by date, only playing because of lack of options after retirement of Warner. Him constantly poking outside off & getting out to Bumrah in BGT & WI seamers means he is done for.

Labu should be tried as an opener, he is only 30 & has experience of playing at #3.

There are some mature top order batting options in the Shield that have put together a good body of work but for some reason, our selectors have been hesitant in selecting them. Perhaps, this will change with the upcoming Ashes series.

Though, we would still need an experienced option (preferably Marnus over Khawaja) in the top 3.

Australia isnt suffering from a talent crises. This propaganda is once again being peddled around by Indians.

The likes of green, Owen, And many others are gun talents. The issue is replacing the likes of Warner was always going to be an uphill battle as its never easy to replace an ATG.

India themsleves have not found any replacement for shami and its showing since they have to rely on bumrah or siraj one hit wonders in the day he shows up.

The likes of krishna and kamboj are a comedy and a tragedy. Eventually they will struggle to find one for bumrah. They will probably find a good bowler but not bumrah level.

Similarly they wont be finding a new kohlj anytime soon even if Gill becomes a fantastic odi batter.

Currently the likes of Cambell Kellaway, Renshaw and a few others are lined up but its not easy replacing Warner, and it wont be easy to replace Smith in the future.

Yes their biggest issue is them making some brain dead selections such as konstas, Mcgruk, and continuing with khawaja when you already had Green, Owen, Kellaway and Renshaw already lined up and rearing to go. Bancroft as well.

And before indian people make fun of me because ik they will stoop lower and lower and say Owen in test 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

You can expect anything from such clowns, im speaking in the context of replacing Warner as an all format batsmen not just test.

I haven't even once posted Australia doesn't have talent.

McSweeney looks proper opener, he struggled against Bumrah & dumped. But he looks better than Konstas.

Owen is certainly replacing Maxwell in white ball teams.

Speaking about India, Arshdeep & Kuldeep would have a big difference here as well as in Australia but our coach thought otherwise. As long as IPL FTB's like Sudarshan are selected over likes of Ranji stalwarts Easwaran, Shreyas, Sarfaraz we will keep struggling with our batting overseas.
