What part of, "and any of our coaching staff," is so fiendishly difficult to understand?
And why single him out?

Being batting coach has so much to do with setting our fields, observing, and making plans to dismiss the opposition batsmen.

I thought you meant this in a 'our batsmen clearly haven't learnt the lessons the Indian batsmen are teaching us' way, but it seems you mean it in a 'our bowling plans to them have been poor' way?

Wierd discussion. Indian batting coach has been Sanjay Bangar and he has worse credentials than Hick.

Hick has a particular mediocrity surrounding him.

Head, Handscomb or Paine anyone of this 3 should score a hundred and save the face of Australian cricket

It's time we pull up stumps on Shaun Marsh's career. To paraphrase a former prime minister, Shaun is a low altitude flyer. He's old and his experience hasn't helped any. He hasn't stabilised the middle order at all. He was presented with a road on day three and found another way to get out before double figures.

Yes; admittedly, I didn't see much of the last test, but IMO we don't really seem to have been looking to plug scoring areas or see whether there are particular places we can bowl to batsmen, certain shots they may be vulnerable to playing loosely, etc. I suppose that many of India's batsmen have gotten cheaply enough this series, but—apart from the bowling short thing earlier this test—we seem to have depended simply on 'run in and hopefully bowl well' and that without that much thought as to the field.

In terms of performance relevant to talent level I'd rate Bangar above Hick tbh

Should put Vihari on to cadge a couple of cheap wickets.

gold - i think it can work if he stays disciplined tho
I suspect that following the sandpaper debacle they are extremely gunshy about doing even the generally accepted methods of roughing the ball up a bit.
