Scheduling Disaster
August 19th 2010 03:31
Who ever is running the playing schedules for the Australian cricket team need to take a good hard look at them selves. what were they drinking/smoking/thinking when they decided Australia will tour India before the Ashes?
Going over there to toil in the humidity of an Inidan summer is not ideal preperation. Look what happened in 2005. Won in India for the first time in a long time then went to England and lost the ashes for the first time in a long time! So why aren't they learning from past experience. Is it that they are complactent? Well if they are they sholdn't be. England are humming along at the moment and the Australians are far from that and a tour of India, which is notoriously a tough tour, will not help matters.
It seems that Australia will do it the hard way if they are to succeed in the Ashes this year and may help to set up an intriguing series. but the ones with the more confidence will previal more on that soon.
