    Who Is Martin Crowe ?

    Seems you have failed to grasp my point. There were no rules about degree of flexion in those days. That came later and was a direct result of the SL cricket board threatening to sue the ICC on the grounds of racism. I'm going back to the original incident and asking why SL couldn't just...

    Who Is Martin Crowe ?

    As I understand it, the majority of umpires world wide believed there was but none were game to call him - until Hair.

    Who's the better keeper Healy or Gilchrist ?

    Who Is Martin Crowe ?

    What I want to know is why Murali [and his country] wouldn't just accept that he was called for throwing on Boxing Day in 1995 and go away and modify his action. Back then the rule was that it was up the umpire to call it. It was good enough for everyone else until then - now we have all this...

    Is Murali the best bowler in history?

    Murali 'bowls'?? :huh:

    Warne's long term replacement

    No effing idea :mellow: I remember the pre-Warne era and I fear the post-Warne one :scared:

    I feel very privileged that I had the chance to see it all :cool:

    ***Official**** Shane Warne Tribute thread

    Agreed. And why did SL have to do this at all? Can't they just contact Warnie through CA? I'm sure it's just an oversight on his part.

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    Forgot about that ..but the idea with that tournament was to give everyone in the squad at least two games. It's not our normal policy. In fact, we abandoned it some time ago.

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    As someone has already said - why would you rotate your captain / best batsman and best bowler for the FIRST two games of the series??? Bracewell got the idea of rotation from us - but when do you see Ponting rested?

    The next Wasim Akram...literally...

    People are also comparing Mitchell Johnson to Wasim Akram. I dunno... it will be "the next Warne", like it is with the next "Bradman". Why can't we just say the players name in their OWN right 8-)

    Who will be harder to replace - McGrath or Warne

    It's even more than that - it's his aura. Warne is a larger than life character that adds something special.

    Who will be harder to replace - McGrath or Warne

    I remember Aussie cricket well before either of them arrived on the scene. We had some reasonably good pace bowlers but couldn't find a decent spinner for love or money. Warne's own influence should ensure that that doesn't happen again but it's still a scary prospect :unsure: MacGill will...

    It's been a privilege Warnie. Thanks for the memories. Cricket world wide will miss you.

    Your most memorable McWarne wickets

    Warne: THAT ball - the look on Gatting's face was just priceless. McGrath: 555 of them!!! The one that comes to mind though is his figures when Aus went to tea on day 1 of the Lord's test in 2005. Hubby asked how it was going and I replied, "McGrath's insane". He had figures at that point...

    Who will be harder to replace - McGrath or Warne

    They are both champions and both cannot be replaced. However, McGrath hasn't been the same since he injured himself at Edgbaston last year and we've still been winning matches. I think we've already learned a lot about life without McGrath. Warne, on the other hand, well - there will only...

    Ricky Ponting.The best?

    My sentiments exactly. Punter may well end up being the 2nd best batsman of all time - but he is not the best captain. Not by a long shot in my book. Tubby Taylor is the best Aussie captain I've seen.

    Murali's run out and the spirit of the game.

    haha I have yet to meet an Indian who is not obsessed with cricket!! I'm a middle aged Aussie. Used to play women's cricket in my younger days :cool: - not that I was any good at it mind you :unsure: . I had a rock solid forward defensive so they made me open the batting :laugh: Even got to...
