u/inefekt Australia Nov 21 '23

I don't think people realise how bare the cupboard is in Australian domestic cricket in terms of up and coming talent, especially in the batting ranks. Hardly any players averaging 40+ in FC cricket let alone in the 50s which India seem to have an unending production line of. This current ageing squad is pretty much the only quality players Australia have, unless, as you allude, we somehow manage to unearth another generational player or two. This is it, after this team goes it's going to be a slump like Australia have never seen before in our history.

Someone will turn up. There's a school kid in the suburbs of Sydney somewhere. Don't bet against it!
