    Sri Lanka in Australia thread

    The PM called him a chucker, not a thief......and what do you mean 'They deserve it'?? Most Aussie cricket fans couldn't give a toss whether he comes or not - in fact most are probably glad he's not. And Aussie crowds are absolutely right in booing him and calling 'no-ball'.....at least we...

    McGrath warned by Trevor Hohns

    So how does that relate to Hohns refusal to back Steve Waugh? He WAS performing......Hohns should be replaced. Equally, I have no problem with 37 year old being replaced in an ageing team - except when it is by a 32 year old.

    Australia and Pakistan confirm Lord's clash

    I hope it's not as one sided as that '99 final was......

    McGrath warned by Trevor Hohns

    I am not a big fan of Trevor Hohns.....the decision to drop Mark Waugh ostensibly because he was 37 and had a lean series was acceptable I suppose, but then to replace him with another 30+ player was idiotic. And his refusal to back Steve Waugh beyond the home series against India was an utter...

    Great Spinners are Tricky

    Yeah Underwood is a fair call - forgot about him.

    Slater Retires

    I remember a test in 2001 when England had made a decent score (for them) and had the Aussies in just before stumps. Slater proceeded to take 12 runs off the first over from satellite dish-ears by employing wild slashes out side the off stump to the short of a length stuff he was getting...

    Great Spinners are Tricky

    Phil Edmonds and John Emburey weren't bad were they? Especially in tandem.....

    Simplify the 'crooked' law: Ian Chappell

    There have been some remarkably talented off spinners in the last 100 years or so - but not one of them has ever turned then ball anywhere near as far as this guy......and that is because his wrist flicking and partial straightening of the 'deformed' elbow are what gives him such incredrible...

    Murali may now tour

    I don't think so. Invariably these guys are under contract, and expected to play when they are required to play......I can't just not turn up for work if I feel like it, and neither can they, really. MacGill's conscience vote was an exception I believe because of extenuating circumstances...

    Murali may now tour

    The difference was, having talked to some 'Barmy army' members in perth - (and diamond blokes they were too) they knew that Lee wasn't chucking. I hope Murali stays away, I really do. If he comes though, I hope our crowds give it to him good and proper. I know they will.

    Warne says Hussain should stay & Trescothick should go

    Why do you think I said you were in moron mode? :blink:

    Warne says Hussain should stay & Trescothick should go

    No, he's not a drug cheat. You weren't in troll mode, you were in moron mode.

    Murali: I will continue to bowl the doosra

    You seriously think Nasser is the only one of his opponents who think he is a chucker? I would very much doubt it.......Nasser just happened to use it as a sledge.

    Freedom of speech in the cricket world

    You mean Ponting's comments have been unjustified, or criticisms of his comments were unjustified - it's not clear..... :huh:

    Worst Ever Players

    The former captain of the United Arab Emirates? Can't remember his name, but I seem to recall he came out to bat against a reasonable quick without a helmet and got sconed in the 96? World Cup?

    The ICC show some backbone

    Look I'm sure the original comment was just rhetorical!!! No way are the Windies going to be dumped from test cricket!

    Murali: I will continue to bowl the doosra

    I tell you, he thinks he is bigger than the game right now - I hope all the apologists are happy at the mess we have now.

    Worst Ever Players

    Mike Brearley? Great captain, crap player.

    Murali: I will continue to bowl the doosra

    I'd certainly like to believe that, Slow Love - he certainly hasn't got the votes of myself and my partner, that's for sure!

    The ICC show some backbone

    Of course you are probably right - it's just that they were never going to beat either Sri Lanka or Australia anyway!! Teams selected on racial grounds do not particularly inspire anyone, I wouldn't have thought......
