the Australian side has been so strong because they dont look to the future they look to the present, they play the best eleven players in the country at the time. It doesnt matter if there 17 or 35 they will play them on how good they are. They can get away with it because of the strenght of the domestic system which allows poeple to come into test cricket and do well from the get go.

Well Quagmire i agree with you but if Hogg is your best spinner currently then you have serious problems in that department as he is rubbish.

Yes it has proven a successful formula. I hope we don't change.
