It would appear that younger cricketer’s idolize the world’s top players, but aim to be more like the mediocre six smashing players gaining 6 figure IPL contracts.
According to an article in The Daily Telegraph young Aussie cricketers are now putting an IPL contract above a baggie green in their future wish list.
They don’t have belief that they can be as good as the Ponting’s and Clarke’s of Aussie cricket, and will settle for the David Warner approach.
With players no longer pushing to become top test players, like was the case 10 years ago when Clarke was a youngen, the future looks grim for test cricket.
Chin up strangi, test cricket will never die!
