Hussey’s retirement has changed some ground rules claims Mickey Arthur – Cricket News Update
Australian coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377, on tough upcoming tours to India and England.
"When you have Ponting, Hussey and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120, it was all about injecting some youth into our side," Arthur told the Sydney Morning Herald. "The ground rules have changed now because we've lost a massive amount of experience. That's why we need to sit down and chat. Is it another experienced player, or are we happy to go with a young gun? There's a lot of guys who come under consideration now."
Arthur’s words somewhat confirmed the dire state of Australian cricket, where they will have to look for possible candidates who have proven their mettle at domestic level over the past years, but have not been able to make it to the national side due to Cricket Australia’s reluctance to have a preferred balance between youth and experience in the side.
However, with skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 the only certain thing in their cricket for now, due to his imperious form and leadership capabilities, the Kangaroos remain eager to not only place onus on a couple of the younger players, but also on wiser heads.
That puts the likes http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rob-Quiney-c2340 in contention to get back in the national team reckoning. Hussey’s name has made the rounds over the past week, with even his younger brother picking him as his replacement.
Although David has proved himself as a reliable campaigner, due to his remarkable domestic first-class record where he has scored over 10000 runs, his recent form has been extremely patchy, where he has not made a Sheffield Shield fifty this season.
Haddin’s inclusion is another option, despite http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, which included a pair in Adelaide.
However, with India and England set to host the Aussies, Arthur remained open to the idea of having experienced players on the team’s roster.
"With Test matches in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 and can get hundreds'?"
