 'Australia's approach is to keep innovating'

Cricket's place in developing Australian nationalism has become more apparent in recent years (and not solely because John Howard is a cricket tragic).
Cricket has an important unifying function in Australian society as it is the only truly Australia-wide sport.
This is particularly true of cricket, with considerable amounts of the drama in recent history being played out off the field in the form of the Rebel tour of apartheid-era South Africa and Kerry Packer's creation of World Series Circket.

 The Sydney Morning Herald: national, world, business, entertainment, sport and technology news from Australia's leading newspaper.
Cricket chiefs have moved to spice up the tired one-day international game by allowing fielding captains to choose when to apply two lots of five-over fielding restrictions and by allowing teams to have a 12th player who can come on as a substitute.
Former Australian captain Greg Chappell was named on Friday as India's new cricket coach with the main task of preparing the team for the 2007 World Cup.

And the results back it up: Mark Taylor emerged from his abyss of self-doubt with a century that enabled Australia to get back into the 1997 Ashes series in which they were trailing England and later vindicated the selectors’ faith by scoring 334 runs in the heat of Pakistan.
A fine example of this is that the Australian Cricket Academy often has someone of the stature of Ian Chappell come in to give lectures to 13-year-olds on the art of captaincy.
When the Indian team returned from their disastrous tour of Australia in 1999/2000, some of the senior players commented that, in terms of training methods and facilities, Australian cricket was 20 years ahead of Indian cricket.

 Lateline - 4/8/2000: Warne pushed out of cricket vice-captaincy . Australian Broadcasting Corp
The Australian Cricket Board has decided that the game's image, severely damaged internationally after a wave of scandals, is more important than one man's ability to play it.
In fact, the Australian Cricket Board named him vice-captain in 1995 with the knowledge that he had actually spoken to the bookmaker John in Pakistan or in Sri Lanka in 1994, so I'm not sure how that could be held against him by the ACB.
GARY CARR: The writing was on the wall as soon as the chairman of the Cricket Board, Denis Rogers, walked into today's conference with Adam Gilchrist at his side.

Former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe, Australian cricketer Mark Waugh, former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga and star batsman Arvinda D'Silva, are also among the players whose names figure in the CBI report.
Sir Paul Condon, who heads the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit, said he was in India to take forward the investigations into the allegations of fraud against non-Indian players named by the Central Bureau of Investigation, India's equivalent of America's FBI.
"For all of us who love cricket, for all the millions of kids who have worshipped their cricket heroes, we are at a pivotal stage in the history of cricket," Condon said.

 24 June 1997
Thank you very much Neal Blewett, the Australian High Commissioner in Britain, to Sir Roger Carrick, the British High Commissioner in Australia, to Mark Taylor the Captain of the Australian cricket team and all of the other members of the team, former players and captains of both England and Australia, cricket lovers, ladies and gentlemen.
Can I say to Mark and the boys in the Australian cricket team, I think there was a little bit of a communication with the Almighty to which Neal referred.
And the game of cricket for all that from time to time people will quite wrongly announce its present, its benediction or announce that it is over and it is a thing of the past it rebounds with might energy and might vigour.

Australian speedster Brett Lee said the India-Australia four-Test series, scheduled for October, could be termed as the `unofficial World championship' and was more important than the Ashes.

 Will Inzamam lead Pak to India after the disastrous Australian tour? : Cricket News : IndiaExpress.Com
He came through as the gallant cricketer who could view the game beyond the confines of the emotional potboiler that India-Pakistan cricket often is. Defeat at the hands of India should have floored him.
It is only for the sake of continuity that the Pakistanis will agree that the incumbent should lead rather than some self-righteous whistle blower whose sell-by date as a cricketer came a long time ago.
He is far too inhibited to be an inspirational leader of men on the cricket field as Imran Khan was.

Recently retired from international cricket, Steve Waugh was named the 2004 Australian of the Year yesterday.
TONY EASTLEY: John Howard once said that the Australian cricket captaincy is the most important position in the country.
STEVE WAUGH: Yeah, it was, it was a bit of an adrenaline rush, I was just sort of winding down, as you say, and preparing for life after cricket, hopefully a bit more relaxed, out of the spotlight, but that’s obviously not possible now.

 The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Sport
Gordon, who is a senior lecturer in sport and exercise psychology with the University of Western Australia, has been involved with the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) for long and has even visited National Cricket Academy in India from time to time to provide a psychologist’s perspective to Indian cricket issues.
A leading Australian sports psychologist said today that “seniors” in the Indian cricket team were living in “comfort zones.” Psychologist Sandy Gordon, who spent some time in a counselling session with the Indian team here yesterday, said the success of youngsters in the recent matches would make the seniors come out of such “zones”.
The national selectors had announced two separate teams on June 8 for the one-day tri-series and the Tests and the three players were to be replaced by S.S. Das, Wasim Jaffer, Sanjay Bangar and Parthiv Patel.

But Warne has the backing of national selectors, and past Australian captains Mark Taylor and Allan Border do not see the point to replace him with either Ricky Ponting or Adam Gilchrist.
