Hilditch Gawn.
Neilson Gawn. (will be once "replacement" is found).
Chappell Gawn as selector. Most likely everything.

True Ian.
None the less it is excellent to see an in depth review like this done & even moreso that CA are acting on its recommendations thus far.
They need to continue following the more in-depth & long-term parts through.

Now we have to see who the people will be to take up the new positions.
Hopefully the days of selectors moonlighting as supporter tour leaders on the side will be over as well.
Hopefully CA will pay for Foxtel as well for all selectors, so they can watch cricket outside their home state, not only the Australian side but opposition as well.
A criticism was also made that not enough analysis was put into our opposition (i.e. have a selector or someone over in england to watch the India series, given they will be in Australia this summer). Hopefully this will be rectified.
In general, our preparation for test series' seems to have been bloody poor, so hopefully those days are behind us now.

That was funny. God bless Big Merv. & some on here were even sticking up for him. :rofl
But well said overall Phil. On seeing who they appoint Jack Clarke did make the point off his own bat that it will be a global search so reckon there is a fair chance we will have a foreign head coach for the first time.
It is a massive concern the Shield has been shafted in favour of KFCricket. Anyone know if the review is addressing this?
Side note: I met Don Argus around 15 years ago when he was NAB boss. Surprised he's still alive actually. Huh - 73. He seemed that then. Let's hope he knows more about cricket than his little mate the Tragic.

An 8 month intensive review to determine the selectors were no good.
I could've done it cheaper and much faster.

Australian Team Performance Review Recommendations
The Australian Team Performance Review tabled its recommendations at the CA Board meeting in Melbourne today.
It is the most exhaustive and comprehensive examination of Australian Cricket ever undertaken.
The Review has recommend series of short and long-term changes.
In the short term, the Board today approved three key recommendations:
The creation of a new senior CA role, General Manager Team Performance, with a singular focus on high performance and team success
Expanding the role of Head Coach to be a genuine head coach of Australian cricket coaching
Creation of a five-person selection panel with members to include a full-time national selector; two independent selectors with a significant focus on state cricket; and having the captain and Head Coach as selectors. It suggests the National Talent Manager not to be a selector to ensure a stronger focus on national talent identification and development
Longer term, there is a list of recommendations which will need consultation throughout Australian cricket over the coming months and which include:
Aligning CA, State and CA Centre of Excellence high performance
Developing a performance-based, highly-accountable, measurable incentive system for international and national players, with features such as appropriate rewards for Test cricket
Boosting support competitions including the Sheffield Shield, Australia A and 2nd XI state cricket
Ensuring first-class pitches offer an appropriate balance between bat and ball
This is all about evolution, not revolution.
The CA Board decided that transparency was important and has published the Reviews Executive Summary and recommendations in full. A copy can be read at: http://www.cricket.com.au/news-display/High-performance-restructure-for-CA/25360

Cricket goes in cycles, when you lose some of the all-time greats from your squad you'll struggle. Lombardi could be installed coach and I doubt the results would be much different. It's a simple game cricket, let's not overestimate the role of selectors/coaches etc. (BTW, Hilditch a dud IMO)
Its not the drop off that's the problem, we all knew it was inevitable.
It was the fact the we had selectors who were still acting like it was an amateur sport. All not attending every Australian international at home. Not enough first hand observation of shield. Taking far too long to take T20 seriously (even though I hate it) and picking a proper side who is suited to it.

If you do not have the cattle, in whatever sport, you will not be the best. Does not not matter who is coaching etc.Phantom said:
Current side is average, at best.
A mile behind the English side IMO.
