ACB Player Rotation Will Harm Aussie Cricket.

Without Spectators and Viewers there is no Cricket.

If we can't watch the best players and our established heroes play each week, the fans will drift away.
We understand injury, poor form and retirement, however we don't understand this academic theory of rotating players, particularly when there is no proof that it works. How many injured players do we have currently despite the policy?

Any sportsman will tell you that the best fitness is match fitness and that you lose your edge if you are out of the battle even for a short time.

To date the results from this rotation policy show that there is little or nothing to be gained and a great deal to lose. I give some examples of negatives below.

Two of the best players in the country in all forms of the game were rotated out of the first of the ODI matches this week. Dave Warner it seems was the victim of the rotation policy, and Mike Hussey seems to have upset someone because he retired from test cricket. The selectors say that they are selecting the side with World Cup 2015 in mind. Are you serious? That's two years away. The best available team should always be selected, or don't Sri Lanka or the West Indies deserve our best?

Cricket is a team sport; the best players do their very best to cement their place in that team. Then to be sidelined when they are in their best form, by a group of wankers for a two year experiment, is Bull Shit. This can only disrupt a tight team and put doubt and insecurity into the minds of the players.

When our best players have won their way into the hearts and minds of the fans and then are sidelined when in best form, the fans feel cheated and start to tune out. Particularly when the players are excitement machines like Warner and Hussey. You would think that the ACB would owe Huss some gratitude for the player he has been for Australia. After all he is still one of the best players in the world in any form of the game.

Do the cricketing public have to watch second stringers (No matter how well they went) until 2015 or do we wait until we start losing games after selectors have destroyed player confidence and team moral. Perhaps we should rotate the selectors.
 
The fans hate it, the players hate it, the sponsors hate it and therefore Channel 9 and their affiliates hate it.

Why can't we simply replace players as they are injured, showing prolonged poor form or they are retiring, like any other sensible national team?

Is there any truth to the rumour that the Australian Cricket Selectors are the same guys that select the NSW State of Origin side?

Keep the core team together you drongos, just ask players from our great teams of the past and the fans that followed them.
