The unexpected collapse of the Australians in the Ashes Tests will lead to an Inquisition ! What went wrong ? Whose fault is it ? The glib admission that England were simply just better, cannot be accepted.
Several top class players will retire or not be selected for the next Tour by Australia to England, or to any other country !
Of the 17 players in the Australian Squad for the 4th Test Match, 8 players were aged 30 or over. The average age of the whole Squad was 29 years and 8 months.
Of the 11 players who played in the 4th Test, 4 were over 30 and the average age of the 11 was 29 years and 2 months.
Does this not raise the question whether the Selectors got the balance between youth and exerience wrong ? This lack of the right balance could also lead to Australia being downgraded in the ICC Test Rankings, where they are at present second behind South Africa !
Perhaps some Selectors also need to be retired !
