Could have been great, ended up being special.

Lol, as I have mentioned earlier, there were some changes I made that are not seen in the original 64 list on page 3 due to the fact I can't edit a post that old. I have the list on my laptop's hard drive.

I could post it if people are interested.

Looks like McGrath's older brother in the Cricinfo pic, Reid.

Martyn isn't as good as he thinks he is, maltreatment by CA or nay.

Martyn. Hes not that bad either guys, despite his recent form. Hes been in an era where Australia have probably had more batting talent than any other time. I think he would easily make all the other Test sides in the world.

Love watching Martyn bat, but Australia have produced a lot of top class batsmen, Reid is unique in that he was a left-armer, so Reid for me.

Reid - cruelled by injury, and the then ACB's refusal to upgrade their 6'10", back-injury prone, quick from economy to business for the 20-something hour flight to the Caribbean. He never really recovered. Talk about protecting your assets...
