Shane Warne's Argus Review

[Spikey]

So basically, you must have been a terrific player to work with the Australian team and pick your best team and stick with it.

bad people suck

 

[Spikey]

all those names and Warne didn't even include him....

Dennis Lillee named as Fast Bowling Advisor

Thank God for Warnie

Rest and rotate when you're 4th in the world in ODI's?

John Hastings in Perth for the Grand Final?

Bobby Quinney at first drop against the world champs?

Xavier Doherty for India?

Starting the Big Bash before the holidays?

Dropping Mr Cricket on the premise of looking to the future and then selecting Brad Haddin?

Resting Siddle and Hilf, and then retrospectively saying they were carrying injuries?

Australian cricket just tries to be funky. You can't impose yourself by doing the obvious (picking your best team, and being conventiiona). Hence the current lot tries to be cutting-edge, and left field.

Please just go to basics, and be desperate, and act like you are the 3rd ranked Test team, and 4th ranked ODI team (which we are)

Trying to be funky when you're way down the rankings is just sad

I don't even think it looks that bad per se other than Damien ****ing Martyn as a selector. Every single state cricketer would end up playing for Australia over a two year period.

 

[howardj]

Oh and the hierarchy saying that Watson is not worthy of a place in the team, unless he can bowl

Ed Cowan is more worthy

These guys are just funky

 

[howardj]

mind you, for a guy who thought coaches were for driving to and from the ground, he has managed to appoint four mates to the roles as coach, assistant coach, batting coach and bowling coach...and Chapps as a consultant!

 

[Ikki]

I would have liked for him to expand on his nominations and their roles, otherwise it is a pretty meh article. I reckon Warne is the type of person to intuitively know what is wrong, be able to help fix it, but probably can't communicate it in a very eloquent way.

 

[vic_orthdox]

I hear all his Stars teammates are right behind him...

his problem seems to be not enough past australian greats are in vital positions. great communications skills can't fix that stupid opinion up

i guess we should be pleased he didn't go on about how 'foreigners' are in positions good aussie blokes can fill though...

 

[Spikey]

remember when we made justin langer batting coach cause he's a great guy who was a great player

He probably would've said that if he didn't want to appoint Stephen Fleming.

 

[Spikey]

basically, where our matty hayden at???

 

[vic_orthdox]

Gilly as wicketkeeping consultant?

#ohwait...

 

[Spikey]

the ghost of terry jenner as spinning coach

PUA consultant - Shane Warne

 

[the big bambino]

Watson worried over the Jenner appointment.

 

[Spikey]

there's no surer thing than watson being afraid of ghosts

Warne can write anything longer 140 characters?

nah this actually wasn't written by warne, warne wrote up a draft but it had too many motivational quotes and "xoxoxo"s directed at his beautiful kids in it
