Change in Australian cricket selector panel sorely needed

I fully agree with respected former panelist, John Benaud, that Andrew Hilditch, the current chairman of the selection panel for Cricket Australia, should do the right thing for the team and fall on his sword. Aside from Australia's dismal form of late, it emerged a staggering 36 players have worn the baggy green cap since the retirement of star trio Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Justin Langer four years ago. This is unheard of in the normally stable, durable and consistent team line-up. However, instead of that scenario taking place it emerges that Hildtich Hilditch, whose contract expires after the World Cup in April, wishes to extend contract. The selectors, under Hilditch, have an ever-worsening record, underscored by their choosing so many players and not doing enough to develop many of those selected. Australia need to get back on top and cannot do so with the current panel, and we desperately need new blood in team management.
