Australian selectors under fire again
Malcolm Conn, writing in the Australian , says if Michael Hussey begins this Ashes series and is sacked for poor performances then part-time chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch should also be sacked.
The conservative four-man selection panel of Hilditch, David Boon, Jamie Cox and the recently removed Merv Hughes have left Australian cricket in a worrying position. They have failed to adequately continue a renewal process forced on them by a cluster of former champions fading away in recent years.
