The aussies on the board seem to be a bit quiet on this subject at the moment

well this aussie is still waiting for tricky ricky to get the boot....

Same old story tho, you will celebrate another ashes win, then tour Australia next year and loose 5-0, Usually what happens isnt it? LOL.

Been pretty hard for any English team to win the Ashes (Home or Away in the last 25 years, guess you will take whatever you can get)

This was the worse Australian team sent to England in MANY years, I rate the 2005 series much better.

Maybe its time to review his role as captain, but at 34 there is no way he should retire. he isnt only the best Australian batsman, but still one of the worlds best.

38 centuarys and 11,000+ runs (only second to Tendulkar) I dont see how anyone can look past that.

With his record of 75% of tests won since in charge, I cant see him getting dumped, next in line would be Michael Clarke, dunno if he is the answer right now...

Face it the players have to step up also, and there preformance in the last test was laughable, no one stood up batting wise in the first innings, the selectors failed not choosing a spinner, Maybe its time the selectors stood down.

So much more could be done, the sacking of Ricky wont solve half there problems.

He's a fucken knob jockey. Picks the worst bowling line-up possible so he can blame them if they lose. Happens all the time these days with him. The precious batters can't do a thing wrong despite them failing miserably in the first innings and Hussey only gets it together when it's too late anyway.

[minus clover]

yeah, what leighton said. he never ever accepts responsibility for anything... a bit like kids these days... and he's in his 30's so should know better...

[therainmaker]

Turns out his job is in no threat,

"Chief executive James Sutherland pointed to team inexperience for the 2-1 series loss and defended the captaincy of Ponting, who became only the second Australian to lead his country to two Ashes losses in England - and the first in well over 100 years."

Sutherland said any call for Ponting's sacking would be "completely unfair".

Chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said Ponting was "a great leader of men".

LOL

the word "wankers" springs to mind....

I have to admit, I dont fully understand it but I do watch cricket when I can here in the states.

[minus clover]

those of us who grew up watching it, dont always understand it either...
