Australian media calls for quick changes – Cricket News Update
After a horror show against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, Australian’s now face the wrath of its media, which have called for quick changes in the team.
The defeat has clearly unsettled the mood of once cricketing giants, which faltered on an embarrassing score of 47 in their second innings, effectively handing their opponents to make an unbelievable comeback in the game and consequently, emerge victorious
in the first Test match by 8 wickets.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 earlier admitted that the humiliating loss suffered will raise a few eye brows and strict measures will be taken in order to find a way back from such shame.
However, it seems that the Australian media are not to kind in allowing the same XI to carry on and wants some young players in the team. The press has targeted veteran, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 as the man to get replaced in order for the team to move forward.
Since relinquishing the captaincy, Ponting’s own form has been patchy and the first Test saw him make just 8 from two outings. Many believe that in order for youngsters to get a reckoning, few senior players must be shown the door for good.
"Australia's humiliation is complete and the retribution starts now," The Australian said.
"It's time. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ricardo-Gouveia-c84824 Ponting's mortality has caught up with him," Malcolm Conn wrote in the Daily Telegraph.
"Some former teammates of Australia's best batsman after Bradman were right to believe that when he retired from the captaincy earlier this year Ponting should have walked away altogether."His downward spiral has become a freefall but Ponting is not tumbling
alone among those involved in Australia's second-innings debacle of 47,” added Conn.
The other player, who is in the firing line, is left-arm pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183, the left-armer has failed to assert his dominance in a year, where his bowling average has been 50.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 also one of the selectors, it remains to be seen whether the Australian make changes to their line-up when they take on the Proteas in the second and final Test match, which will be played at Johannesburg from November 17, 2011.
