Haha we do against other teams just not aussie.. Honestly though this performance is depressing. Out of interest how do you aussie fans such as Scallywag suggest we turn our fortunes around. Do you have any ideas? Where do you think we are going wrong?

I'm probably not the right person to ask, but I thing I think is important to Aussie players is the selectors. They have changed the way they select the team and interact with the players. Every state game is attended by at least one selector and players are told why they are not selected and what they need to do to get selected. listening to the fringe players they allways seem to accept why they are not in the team and whats required to achieve a spot.

I dont think there is an Australian player that dosent know where he stands with the selectors. Also faith in the players to improve and not just relax once they are in the team seems to be a dominant theme for the Aus players. McGrath is a good example of this because he is allways talking about getting better and not just resting on his past performances as some bowlers have tended to do.

Hoggy: Can I give you a dry root too please Symmo. I know you don't like it when I do that but it's a big game!

Typical Aussie team meeting:
Lee: Hey Symmo, what will you do if you get Astle out?
Symmo: I dunno, maybe point to the pavilion before presenting my ass to be groped by Hoggy. What will you do?
Lee: Not sure, still can't decide between the chainsaw or the starjump . Depends whether it's the number 10 or 11.

Mills: Hope the umpire sees it.
Fleming: Yeah but what if he gives it Millsie
Mills: Faint.

What is the world record for catches by a keeper, Gilly must be close. Also Vettori needs to be promoted he looks better then any of the other Kiwi batsmen.

I want Mills to bat sensibly. He is a very good batsman IMO. Wilson looked pretty good as well. He actually suprised me a little. Vettori if he gets support could get a century here.

I wish they would show streakers when they come on to the field. It's always great entertainment
