Hussey, Katich, Clarke, and Watson all going cheaply. Can't really put to much blame on them though as it seems only the most experienced players are making the runs, must be a difficult pitch. The swing was there and did do a bit, the seamers did nicely. It just seems to me that experience is whats needed on such a pitch. Maybe we would of been better with Martin back, and Langer being injured never helped, but I think experience is what was needed.
Thats why we need to give these other players a little more time, Hussey is new to test cricket, could have 5 years in him, once he gets a bit of experience he should be fine, clarke has had a while but not overly to long, if he don't show something over the next 6 months we could be looking else where. Watson is new to test Cricket, give him a bit more time to see what he is capable of. Katich has some experience but no where near Hayden, Gilly and Ponting, and once again give him another 6 months of being consistantly in the team to see what he can do.
But if Katich and Clarke don't do anything in the next 6 months or so I think it's the door for them, Hussey and Watson could need a year or more, and if they don't look like doing much it's the door for them to. But the next Question is where does that leave us?
It leaves us with having to introduce more inexperienced players, it'll be like a cycle. But that brings me to my next question, should we show them the door soon and just try rebuild with a slightly more youthful team? Or do we just keep introducing 30 odd year old debutons?
: Bloody hope they put up a fight.
