grapedo;321418 said:Agreed but there were lots of contributing factors to Australia's decline and the ones we have mentioned are only some. I think they should have not waited for players to retire when the time is right, like when Phil Jaques was hitting all the runs in domestic cricket, Langer should have been shown the door then and when Hilfenhaus was in terrific form in domestic cricket the year tassie won Mcgrath should have gone, and when Stuart Macgill was in form and healthy Warney should have been shown the door it would have been a much smoother transition but I agree with what your saying Breeno just not the whole Mcgain part that's all.
gbatman;322579 said:McGain has just got 3/48 off 8 against Tasmania with some classic leg spinning deliverys, really turned the ball and drew the batsmen out. He looked about 85-90%. Also Peter Siddle got 4/27 off 7. Very good figures from players that should be in the ODI side.
There were stages last night against NZ where we desperatly needed a spinner and we bowled White and Clark who bowl pies. That wicket would have spun a bit too for McGain.
Time to get McGain and Siddle in, Hilfenhaus has the potential but hasn't the skills and White isn't good enough.

I seem to recall him taking a lot of wickets in the Ford Ranger last year...
