    Warne in war of words with Adams

    Remeber these classics? 1. Rod Marsh & Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife & my kids?" 2. Robin Smith & Merv Hughes: During 1989 Lords Test, Hughes said to Smith after he played & missed: "You can't...

    Warne in war of words with Adams

    I think this about covers it Australian captain Ricky Ponting will ask Shane Warne to explain his involvement in a sledging controversy in English county cricket that yesterday prompted the leg spinner to complain that he was "sick and tired of being cast as the villain". Cricket Australia...

    How successful would 'The Don' be if he was playing in the current era?

    I can add nothing to this topic compared to my learned friends but I need an answer on something. My father told me many times Bradman was far more popular in England than he was in Australia. Any comments?

    Australian Team in 8 years

    I've been hearing this stuff for longer than I'd care to admit. If it wasn't Lillee, Marsh, Thompson etc it was Hughes, Waugh ,Taylor, Aldeman and well you get my drift. The cricket academy turned things around as has the English Academy for England so ably run by Rod Marsh and co and you...

    **Official** Pakistan in Australia Thread

    That's not giving the Australian team full credit. At 5/78 I thought they were in big trouble but I keep underestimating the fighting qualitries of this team. Bring on the Ashes it should be excellent

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    SANZ Papers are saying his test career is finished. Badly torn right hammy. Not a good way to end IMO.

    It just doesn't get any better than this !!

    Yes i guess it's odd but don't forget Oz beat England in England at Soccer a while back. Now that's odd!

    It just doesn't get any better than this !!

    The good Soccer players invariably end up playing o'seas the majority in England. Harry Kewell etc. Money talks!

    It just doesn't get any better than this !!

    Union is not a "big sport" in Australia. it's a very distant last of 4 codes played here. Most people have never even heard of it. It's basically confined to public schools in QLD and NSW with a sprinkling in other states. All the more remarkable the Wallabies can compete at the highest...

    The FINAL--> Westindies VS England

    England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again. I'll use Air Commodore HI Cozens (RAF) words he used when discussing the Lancaster bombers abilties in 1944 "At that they are supreme". I just can't believe it's happened again. Maybe we'll get it right next time?

    It just doesn't get any better than this !!

    Well when 75% of the population has never heard of Union they are not going to worry about it are they?

    It just doesn't get any better than this !!

    As an Englishman living in God's country (Oz) let me ask you all a question. How many here know of Union let alone play it? I'll give you a hint. Of the four codes, Rules, Soccer, League and Union, Union comes last by a fair margin. That alone makes it amazing the Oz can even compete with...

    England vs. Australia, 21st Sept

    So finally the establishment of the English Cricket Academy, initially in Adelaide and now run by 'Iron Gloves' at the EIS is bearing fruit. Chosen by the ECB as an English selector Marshie must have a bigger than usual smile right now. Head of the English academy since it opened in 2001...
