New Minnows

The new T20 minnows announced.. Surprisingly Bangladesh, Netherlands are also featured along with Australia..

Australia deserve T20 minnow status after losing consecutive matches in their hapless shot at the 2009 world T20 title. It would be disrespectful to their opponents to be overly critical of the men in yellow as they were easily beaten by better teams in both matches. Not once were they in a strong position and they were embarrassingly outplayed, outwitted and eventually spanked by the Windies and the Lankans.It seemed that they thought all they needed to do was turn up and the result would go their way.

What little success Australia has had in the last 12 months has been due to the hungrier, less experienced players and to choose any player on past glory and not performance erodes the confidence of the younger men and ultimately upsets the morale of the entire squad.. Remember the other aussie, Guru Greg, had said that players cant select themselves on performances from the past.. Anyone listening !!

Mitchell Johnson has been exceptional with both bat and ball.. Poor guy bats, scores all the runs and then runs up and takes all wickets. Where are the other 10 !! :-D

Australia’s performance at the World T20 should have the captain, coach and selectors critically analyzing why they failed to be competitive..

My opinion- two of their best players Hayden and Gilly have retired and its getting tough to find replacements for them. Ricky doesn't fit into T20 scheme, he is not a good all round player neither is he an impact player..
Sending Symonds back was ridiculous, being in a world title tournament and acting so irresponsibly is inexplicable.. Is drinking the problem ? or being drunk ? D.Hussey batting at 7 and 8, huh ! He is the impact player, he needs to bat up front..

This is the 3rd ICC tournament where aussies haven't won a single game..
