Was the squad too old? Did they miss Haddin and Watson?
Saturday 8 August 2015 14:18, UK
Why did things go so wrong for Australia in the Ashes – and how can they bounce back?
Baggy Greens legends Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting, as well as former England captains David Lloyd and Michael Atherton, discussed that on the latest Saturday Debate, which you can download as a podcast here or listen to via audioBoom in the link below.
Our esteemed panel assessed many reasons why Michael Clarke’s men, who regained the urn on home soil in 2013-14 with a whitewash victory, have toiled in England, including…
- Struggling to play the moving ball
- Heading on the tour with an aging squad
- Failing to match England’s fight and technique
- Omitting senior statesmen Shane Watson and Brad Haddin
- The state of the Australian domestic system
Ponting and Warne also looked at which young Australia players could now step into the Test side.
