http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Peter-James-c91201, the former English player, has predicted Team Australia’s resurgence at international level as they are trying to follow the example of English cricket. He believes that the Argus report will give a kick-start to the process of revival in Australian
cricket.
James tells that the Kangaroo cricket bosses are looking to establish 18 teams in the domestic cricket and bring it at par with County cricket. Apart from it, the number of teams for the revamped domestic tournament of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, Big Bash T20, has been raised
from six to eight.
Recalling the time when England followed the footsteps of their Ashes rivals after the Schofield report, James claims that the history is ready to repeat itself.
The Argus report, which is based on the review of Team Australia’s International performances during the last couple of years, has proved to be a big reformative force for the Aussies as it has changed a lot over-night.
Following the report, Cricket Australia (CA) has sacked the Chief selector along with some of his subordinates, the coach and some other members of the staff.
The Australian cricket managers indeed seem on track to take their team back to the heights of pride they posed to have some years back.
James predicts that the Aussies will soon be challenging the top Test rank of the Poms as they are rising rapidly.

Comparing the Argus report’s recommendations to the current structure of English cricket, he tells that the Aussies are going to have ‘General Manager of team performance’ like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Miller-c58870. However,
he questions whether the Australians can find such talented men?
