Who Schedule this tour?
« on: December 21, 2009, 10:29:37 AM »
What supposed to happen in January?
Is the team coming back to the Caribbean and then retuning to Australia after a couple weeks?
Are they going to make use of the Australian facilities to improve? Are they going through Dwight Yorke's black book?


Wed Nov 18    Queensland
Thu Nov 26    1st Test
Fri Dec 4     2nd Test
Wed Dec 16    3rd Test
   
Thu Feb 4     Prime Minister's XI
Sun Feb 7     1st ODI
Tue Feb 9     2nd ODI
Fri Feb 12    3rd ODI
Sun Feb 14    4th ODI
Fri Feb 19    5th ODI
Sun Feb 21    1st T20
Tue Feb 23    2nd T20


Then we get 


Zimbabwe in the West Indies

Feb 26   Vice Chancellor’s XI
Feb 28   T20
Mar 4    1st ODI
Mar 6    2nd ODI
Mar 10   3rd ODI
Mar 12   4th ODI
Mar 14   5th ODI


South Africa in the West Indies

May 19    T20
May 22    1st ODI
May 24    1st ODI

the top ranked teams are not lining up to play tests against us, when the west indies start selecting the best players and appoint the best captain, only then teams will be interested for test tours

This captaincy thing is overated. Cricket is one of the most individualistic sports. Ultimately the duel is between the bowler and batsman(vice versa). When you at bat, you think the captain could hold your hand to bat. Is you and you alone.  Shit team, shit captain. Good team, good captain.  Flip the coin.

Could not disagree more. A good captain knows proper field placing to get batmen out .

not only when the team is fielding do they need a captain. when you are the batting team there is just as much need for good strategy- for instance when the new ball is on and the pitch is making the ball turn the captain needs to know which batsman can handle the pitch and arrange his team to suit- there may be need to change the line up to adjust for such conditions- also there is the question of left-hand, right-hand partnerships, senior-junior etc. there is a lot to think about for a captain
and folks- that's why gayle thinks its too much work
there just are not enough grey cells available to do all that thinking :devil:

I forget the T20 world cup April-May.

The dearth of tests in the schedule make more sense now.

But the month in Australia still doesn't

Yes the captain must know how to set a field, but who bowling the ball. The bowler. He must know how to set field also. He bowling the ball. The batsman reacting to his pitch. The bowler should know where he is putting the ball. Whether it is in-swinger or out swinger. As a matter of fact all test cricketers should know how to set a damn field. If they don't then they are bloody defficient.
