When Australian Cricket faced the day they dreaded

[@joshuahong2013]

Warnie was an absolute magician, there's no doubt...however as an Aussie i'm truly happy Gaz Lyon was given the chance to flourish. Terrific video as usual big fella, keep it up!

[@aniketsawant2240]

- Starc debuted 2 years before Brett Lee's retirement and was battle ready by 2015 ODI WC - For a period of time, Peter Siddle & Ryan Harris were decent replacements for Glenn Mcgrath & Jason Gillespie. And then, Josh Hazlewood & Pat Cummins arrived in 2010 and 2011 respectively, And became permanent members of the team by 2015 under the tutelage of Mitchell Johnson who was shadowing Brett Lee. - Steve Smith debuted almost 3 years before Ricky Ponting's retirement & was the team's premier batsman by 2015 ODI WC - It took Australia a while to find a replacement for Shane Warne in tests. But Nathan Lyon became a pillar of the bowling attack within a couple of years of his debut. - Labuschagne & Travis Head will be senior batsmen like Smith & Warner. - Glenn Maxwell has been a great like for like replacement for Andrew Symonds Australia is excellent at finding replacements. That's why they win ICC tournaments consistently. The longest gaps between Australia not winning anything in recent decades is 6 years (2009-2015 & 2015-2021), which were their rebuilding phases. I wish Indian Selectors were ruthless & pragmatic like Australians.

[@pgback3620]

Cummins was not a permanent member by 2015 yo he was injured

[@Crudmonkey211]

Steve O’Keefe was the best replacement spinner, but he had to be dropped for discipline reasons. We got Lyon instead though, so it’s win:win.

[@anmolsandhu6732]

They are consistent with replacements while, we remove players in 1 or 2 years.

[@harsh_n208]

Is this a shitpost ? Maxwell isn't better than symonds.

[@pgback3620]

@@anmolsandhu6732 it's actually not true, you can see how many openers they've tried and wicketkeepers

[@chrisstallard2835]

It was always going to be a challenge for Australia to replace Warne. Aside from his ability as a leg spinner, his dedication was second to none. I'm an England and Warwickshire fan and have seen Warne play at Edgbaston for Australia in a Test Match and for Hampshire in County Championship matches; his intensity, dedication and will to win was the same regardless of the match, regardless of the opposition.

[@diveenvarma5068]

[@DynamiteBobby]

Great video. If you want a suggestion along a similar line: England's attempts to replace Andrew Strauss post 2012

[@ajitdesigan]

This story kind of reminds me of Muttiah Murlidharan and rangana herath. Herath does have close to 100 test caps but he would have had far more wickets if murli was not the lead spinner for sri lanka.

[@ardhidattatreyavarma5337]

Now that you have mentioned Nathan's journey, I'd love to see video on that

[@DawnyAussie]

It's quite remarkable- like they say, when things are good they're good, but when they're bad oh boy you'll know about it. The spinner dilemma was one thing, but also having generational batters on a steep decline, the inability to replace McGrath, and the rise of other nations, it all came together for a particularly tumultuous time for Australian cricket from '08 till probably '15.

[@Rajneeeeesh]

I wanna give a shoutout to Stuart MacGill. He is a perfect example of "Born in the wrong era."

[@ajitdesigan]

Tbh, those part time spinners of Symonds and Clarke would have destroyed the current Indian batting lineup considering the atrocity of a whitewash which happened few days ago. Btw the 10 spin options you’ve mentioned and also other spinners who’ve played with Nathan Lyon such as Todd Murphy, zampa and kuhnnemann would have become great spinners on their own by tormenting the bazball England team by just writing the word spin outside their dugout on a spin friendly wicket in Sydney😂😂😂

[@stalinmao14]

How about that for Lyon though. Kumar on your first ball. Destined for greatness. I think he'll probably retire after the 26' Ashes at home, hopefully we can sort out a better replacement process by then

[@ray.shoesmith]

Murali was a fine bowler, despite the fact that asian/"racism" pressure forced the ICC to change the rules to allow him to bowl. He might have taken more wickets, but his record will always have an asterix next to it. Shane Warne was a different cat altogether. He could turn a boring afternoon of Test cricket into a mesmerising experience. Watch any ball by ball spell on youtube. Magilla was Gillespie to Warnes McGrath.

[@3_smh_3]

was it the same asian / 'racism' pressure that got them to acknowledge reverse swing as well?

[@pragunahuja6879]

Murali was the only decent bowler Sri Lanka had no competing bowler.warne would bowl with likes of McGrath,mostly by the time warne came on teams would be 3/4 down.and Murali did it in dust bowls of Sri Lanka ,warne did his work in pace friendly aus and eng.besides warne was the better cricketing mind as evidenced by ipl 2008

[@ray.shoesmith]

@@3_smh_3 reverse swing is a physical phenomena created, if I'm not mistaken, by the Sri Lankans. Bending your elbow to bowl and calling it a 'physical impedance' was a completely made up factor that everyone could see. It was only after Asians started calling it 'racism' that it became racism. He was an illegal bowler let into the game purely thanks to political correctness. If Murali had played in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's he would have never got a game, it's only after Asians realised that 'cultural awareness' could be manipulated into shaming the establishment that Murali ever got recognised. You lot are the Peter who cried 'wolf!'.

[@3_smh_3]

@@ray.shoesmith ah! keep going with that misplaced and holy yapping of right whingers. in a decade you guys will turn sandpaper gate into another woke nonsense. ICC found out in early 2000, every bowler was straightening their arm to a degree. Given the outrage of the established power back then over reverse swing, I'd say it was quite racially motivated. Also, Murali's action has been tested and cleared in front of the whole world.

I think the period of 2016-18 was worse, 2008-13 was lack of spin, that period was the lack pf all rounders, making the bowlers toil a lot more and also doesn’t have a middle order batting option.

[@paramtageja6891]
