    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    The teams made a pact to take word of the fielder which aus didnt first and then india followed. The whole symonds/singh racial slur was just pathetic, if monkey gets symonds upset then that will do me. Michael Clarke not to walk when it was clear he was out was just the worst thing Ive ever...

    Again it might be because I'm tired or cant help feel your being sarcastic?? Its funny, I actually wanted to be a sports writer, but then realised......I'm not very good getting my thoughts onto the computer screen nor making sense of what I type down. A few to many head hits from my rugby...

    quote by quote? takes too long, I guess i was out knowledged by you, :laugh: most of what you said was correct, my knowledge of cricket is not as good as i thought :unsure: I dont know where to put clark tbh, because i stand by what i said, i dont think anyone has actually taken him up...

    I dont know where to start? 8-) Really I am gob smacked at that, how about you look at Clark in one day cricket, Commerce degree :wacko: wow, thats just the stupidest thing ive ever read. Mcgrath hat trick, 3 different batsman, i was talking about same link to same player, Anywho, I heading...

    look at rest of age of team hayden is still there at 37, its crazy, he wont give a 22 yr old a go, so we went for a mid 20 year old.

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    Did i mention the result of that test? Who won the series. How many runs did warne go for in series? England hit truck loads of sixes.cant you see where I'm getting at? 400 in 78 overs, they scored quickly and troubled the aussie bowlers. Then what happened when they came to aus last summer...

    he is a good/average bowler, his test stats flatter him at the moment, his stats for nsw show what i mean.

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    pressure is what mcgrath built his game on, a consistant line outside off stump, frustrate batsman and they play a dumb shot, clark is exactly the same. Clark first test, bogged down De Villiers and Smith and got them out with average balls. Who dominated Mcgrath over the years? Lara and...

    2005 Ashes test 1 day 2 Pietersen, one move forward and smash mcgrath back for 6, what did that do? It was huge play in the series, and showed that McGrath isnt a god that cant be hit for runs. Clark is a NSWelsman so of course i like him :cool: , but i dont see him as a great bowler. He could...

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    not all bowlers, just clark, Why do you think Mcgrath was such a good bowler? How many times did indian batman get caught behind to clark over summer? He isnt a distructive bowler, he doesnt do that much with it. Players seem to think ill leave him and then he will bowl to me (but he doesnt)...

    Johnson is younger.....that is all.......brackens first class career is better, and has played test cricket, but johnson they see as the young star of the future.

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    i thought if India played against Clark like one-dayers they would have won series. He is a one line bowler and he will get you out if you just leave, his one day career isnt good, because batsman move around and play shots, If i were India coach, i would show clark in one dayers and tell all...

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    can we risk 4 pacemen against India in india? They played out bowlers ok here in aus and conditions will be even better for batsman over there. Lee hasnt bowled much over there, clark could be put away at will and johnson i dont rate at the moment. Either casson or cullen we just have to give...

    agree, actually at some stages took more wickets than warne. he was attacking bowler and got plenty of wickets.

    Stuart MacGill announces his retirement

    most countries he would be a 100test player, shame he couldnt have the spot his own for a year or 2. Casson should be long term option now for spinners at least for test cricket.
