This is the typical proud Aussie fans response. Don't mean to pick on you midget...this is a more general response
It seems Aussie fans love blaming something other than the players for the problems. It's the selectors, or the batting order, or the rotation policy, or the pitches, or maybe the coaching staff - something other than a lack of talent. Because don't you know Australia would have SMASHED South Africa in the 3rd Test in Perth if they'd only played Siddle and Hilfenhaus? (forget that Starc and Johnson were the 2 best things to come out of that match). Sri Lanka of course were lucky to draw the ODI series because Aussies were resting players (it had nothing to do with the continually excellent bowling of Kulasekara and Malinga). And of course in this match India would be on the ropes in this series if we'd only picked our best squad...
It used to be 'whinging Poms' as the stereotype, but Aussie cricket fans love a good whinge too. The selectors might pick 10 of the 11 guys you had in your XI, but the fact they didn't pick the 11th as well apparently makes the selectors clueless and blind.
So back to this match...I can see Maxwell and Doherty as bad calls. Cowan and Wade (maybe Hughes too given his spin play) as less objectionable selections, but perhaps wrong as well. And of course the continual batting order discussions. But how much difference would that really make? India have scored 74 more runs, and lost 8 less wickets in doing so! This is not a close match that might have been swung with 1 or 2 different players in the 11.
The other thing that critical self-inspection does is that it fails to recognise good performance from the opposition. It was great batting from Vijay and Pujara yesterday, yet the focus here in Aus will no doubt be on the selections or some other distraction. Some credit needs to go to the opposition occasionally...
