every sporting team goes through this - they have to rebuild. for that to occur, they have to lose. the only person that i am aware of who has handled this in the world of sport is alex ferguson - when man u rebuild they drop from first to 4th - amazing.
australia must rebuild, starting with the captain - offer him a batting spot - i agree with #5 but he should lose the captaincy
i would not give it to clarke - too mentally lightweight - getting out for 80 proves it- and physically fragile
cameron white should be captain - he is by far the best candidate and he can bat 6 with ease
numbers 1-3 need to be groomed - hussey is good at 4 and watson can stay as opener so that leaves two spots. i would NOT get sucked in by the NSW propaganda machine - there are plenty of candidates and experimentation should be the order of the day
haddin is a lousy keeper but an excellent test bat so hye stays (gloves on for the moment)
there is no spinner - hauritz is not test standard so the selectors need toi look elsewhere
fast bowlers - go for it - there are somke decent yougsters - puick them
how old was lillee? thompson?
keep siddle - the rest should be new
this line up will lose the next few tests but the experience they gain will pay off long term
