Australias recent failings have raised questions over the effectiveness of Cricket Australias highly-proclaimed high-performance system. Steven Smith, writes Mike Coward in Fox Sports, now needs to ensure that the game returns to the dressing room, because even the very best need timely reminders of how to occupy the crease and build an innings.How did it come to this? Of course, there are other factors at play. There is the hypocrisy of administrators who speak of the primacy of Test match cricket while busily devaluing Sheffield Shield cricket and devoting all their time and energy to short-form tournaments most notably the crudely but aptly named Big Bash League. There is the naked avarice of the same administrators who pay scant regard to the physical and mental welfare of their finest players by planning much too much cricket. And now there is this mad obsession with the need for day-night Test cricket with a pink ball. Good luck to any newbies who must begin their Test careers under lights at Adelaide and Brisbane over the next few weeks.Kånken Mini Ryggsäck .
