Consistency in selection will be our key to success says Mickey Arthur – Cricket News Update
Already setting the record straight, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 believes that the key to success is closely related with consistency in the selection process.
As the former South African takes his new role, he will effectively also become one of the selectors under the revamped structure of the Australian cricket following the much publicized Argus review, which came into development after Kangaroos’ poor showings
over the past 12 months.
With the retirements to the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
This is a highly unfamiliar territory for the once cricketing giants, and the new coach is keen on structuring success on the basis of consistency in the selection process.
"The key to ultimate success is strong leadership and clear role definition, but also consistency in selection, so players know exactly where they fit at any given time. I'm sure we'll cultivate that with Australia,” said Arthur.
The words echoed by the head coach offer positivity in terms of selection of players on the basis of their domestic record. After poor showings in the Ashes, the former chairman of selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Mark-Jefferson-Hilditch-c44498 came under considerable pressure following his
stance of naming relatively unknown players into the Australian national set-up.
This included a long list of spinners, who got a nod into the system despite having played little cricket on the domestic front. Also the high-profile sacking of veteran batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 was highly unwelcomed which led to wide spread criticism of how
cricket is being run in the country.
Arthur, 43, is adamant that the culture of cricket in this region is relatively sound, however, emphasized on the importance of having a structure that will offer considerable regularity which will in turn ensure that the Kangaroos again reach to the summit
of world cricket.
“You build a team around pillars, and we need to identify who those pillars are and we'll do that as a selection panel down the line and be consistent," added Arthur.
