Australian selectors signal to future prospects

Filed under Cricket Australia

PlayHardDrinkHarder.jpg20% of Australian suceess, is because they plan the future early n better than any other cricketing country. then its about selling tickets, or match schedules, foreign tour programming or selecting a squad..

Nearly all countries are into rebuilding process since caribbean world cup, finding new players with long future ~ but how many of them have eyes on upcoming twenty20 world cup in South Africa? well, Aussies certainly are getting ready by naming 30 member squad, which will be decreased to 15 by mid-july.

More than selecting a squad, its important for selectors to tell the youngster that he is in their range. By naming such 30 player squads, promising youngsters gets the boost they require to keep fighting n dreaming for Australia cap.

Thing to note in this 30 member Aus squad for 20/20 world cup, is the number of bowlers they've selected. Hint I get, is that Australia believe bowling 20 economical overs is toughest aspect, thus why not find good wicket taking bowlers n turn them moderate batsman down the order. Probably I should write little more on this trick some time soon, but meanwhile I've plotted the date of birth of all new cricketers in the announced squad.
