James Sutherland, Cricket Australia CEO, wants to know why
Australias Test team performed so poorly in the recent Sri Lanka series
despite spending more time in Asia than just about any generation of
cricketers before them.

.In a pointer to the lines of enquiry to be pursued following the 3-0
defeat to an unfancied opponent that cost Australia the No. 1 Test
ranking, Sutherland said he was somewhat mystified as to why ever more
frequent visits to India in particular had not translated into better
displays in the region. The loss of the third Test in Colombo meant
Australia have now lost nine Tests in Asia in a row over three series.If
you have a look going back in time over recent years, some of our Test
cricketers are playing more in India than theyve ever played before,
Sutherland said in Melbourne. Theyre used to subcontinental conditions
through their experiences in the IPL and on other tours representing
Australia. These are conditions we are more familiar with perhaps than
we have been in decades gone by, and it comes back to the ability to
adapt. Thats something Ill be interested to hear more about.Its probably
a whole lot of different things. The critical thing is adaptability to
conditions and thats what we ought to understand better. Clearly
conditions here are very different to England, which are very different
to what we see on the subcontinent, and to be the best team in the
world, to be the No. 1 team, you need to be able to win away, and thats
what were about.In reflecting on the conditions faced by the players,
Sutherland said little more could be done in terms of pre-tour
preparation, and also expressed the view that the pitches encountered at
Pallekele, Galle and Colombo were more or less as had been expected.
Were certainly disappointed with the performances of the team in this
Sri Lankan series and the review will tell us more but I dont think we
can complain in terms of the preparation we had over there in Sri Lanka,
he said.I dont think there would be any expectation gaps in terms of
the facilities and the pitch condition we expected to find over there. I
dont think things are clearly broken, but at the same time we need to
get better at adapting to conditions. In different parts of the country
there are pitches prepared for different situations, certainly weve got
hybrid pitches that have been developed at the NCC, theyre things that
were continuing to progress. But its one thing to have those conditions
and facilities, another to provide opportunities for players to do
that.Sutherland also said Australian cricket is searching for ways to
ensure more of its 1.31 million participants graduate from junior
programs to club teams and the levels above even as the latest survey of
participation revealed the game had outstripped Australian football as
the most popular sport in the country.Another year of steady gains in
2015-16, following a similar increase in 2014-15 and an Ashes-inspired
spike the season before now allows Cricket Australia to boast that there
are more cricket participants than in any other game, outstripping the
1.25 million registered triers of Australian football reported by the
AFL last year.These numbers are driven largely by school-age Milo Into
Cricket and Twenty20 Blast programs, with high female participation and
increased engagement by diverse Australian communities also factors.
However, the number of players actually registered as club or community
cricketers lags some way behind at 454,657, albeit a rise of 9.5% on
last years figures.Sutherland said that the games custodians were
looking intently for ways to ensure the stream of players running from
junior and school programs to clubs and ultimately the higher echelons
of the game would increase.Its a lot about that experience and about
creating a positive learning environment and a fun environment for kids
to play the sport, Sutherland said in Melbourne. I think thats where the
T20 Blast has allowed kids to bridge between entry level programs and
playing what some people might call real cricket. Weve seen success but
also sustained participation through into the teenage years. Very
pleasing in these results to see growth in that area for the first time
in a couple of years.The total number of participants increased by 8.5%
when lined up against that of 2015, which had itself been 9% up on 2014.
However, the increase three years ago had been a more dramatic 16%
following a victorious Ashes summer. Given the fate that had just
befallen Australias Test side in Sri Lanka, Sutherland did not want to
draw too close a link, but acknowledged team performance and grassroots
participation could certainly help one another.I think there were a
number of things that kicked in that year, certainly that was one of the
formative years in terms of the T20 Blast but also we saw significant
growth in those entry level programs with the Milo Into Cricket program,
he said of 2014. What wed like to see is those entry level programs be a
continuous wave for us into the junior secondary years and see some
sort of sustainable participation particularly at club level.In some
ways they certainly do complement each other, but at the same time weve
now gone down to No. 3 in the world on the Test rankings, were still no.
1 in one-day cricket. From that perspective the profile of the game is
still high and I think the aspiration of young people to play cricket at
the highest level will continue to be there. In time when we come to
review the Sri Lanka series well take a very keen interest in what the
recommendations coming out of that are.

To which I would say two things:
1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or,
in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And
spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no
less.
