It will be a Batter's WC!!

Answers:

1. He will get at least 6 Tests to play against India before he retires, injuries permitting of course

2. Do I have to keep repeating that there is such a thing as a B TEST which is needed to get a clear result. This test still has not taken place. He is still innocent. [/B]

1 Of those six tests three will be in India, somewhere were the chances of Warne doing well is dismal low.

2 I think i have already answered that question

LOL Then don't say what? i said that i believe Warne took the pills from his mom and as such he is stupid.If i had doubts about the story, i would have never called him stupid! Understand???

Ahhhh but you doubted weather his mum actually gave him the tablets, there is doubt there. Also do you read the small print on every bottle of pills you take? Because by your reasoning you would be an idiot. Warne is not an idiot, he is a human being which means he is fallible, if you don't make mistakes then fine! Slag him off all you like! But somehow I doubt it.

1. So? The ball turns more, and you are still writing Warne off.

2. So have I...

You should read carefully instead of jumping into conclusions.I said that can be two possibilities ,either Warne took the meds from his Mom, or there was more to the story. After that i gave my personal opinion that to me Warne was just stupid, i.e he took meds from his mum.

And MR Rik i certainly do care to read the name of the meds i am taking, if someone doesn't do that then he/she is insensible. Yes Warne is a human being and he made a very stupid mistake, hopefully other sportsmen would learn from Warne's mistake and would be careful in future!

Just a small point, but the B sample is taken at the same time as the A sample - so it is likely to have the same result.

 

[Choora]

But can Warne achieve same results as do Indian spinners on dusty wickets??

Warne has taken 7 wkts in 8 test matches at an average of 52.8(matches played in India)

I would say that the chances of Australia defeating India on India (with McGrath, Jason doing well) seems to be much more bright than Warne doing well in India!

It's still yet to take place from what I have heard.

Either that or it takes a hell of a long time to analise one sample...

Who cares about his previous record? The guy is a bowling genius and you can't disagree there. For the 3rd time, write him off at your peril...

I didn't say you didn't know the name of the meds, I said do you read the small print saying what they contain every time? If you do then you are one paranoid person. Warne is a normal guy, he's human, he doesn't allways read the side of bottles, he doesn't allways say the right things, no one is perfect, yes even you. And could you leave out the "mr", it just sounds silly.

Oh did I just jump to a conclusion? No...actually you just gave me a conclusion to jump to...

Only problem is that the guys who he is going to take on make a mockery of him when he plays against India.
As for poor previous records, you might not care, but its a big psychological blow to a bowler. Lillee for eample didn't bother to visit India after he had bad memories of his poor performance in Sub-continent.Warne will be bold enough to accept the chalange once again, but he will fail again!

We will see.

No, i'm not paranoid, i'm just careful.I mean if i care to learn as to what medicine i'm taking than i'm a paranoid, but if i don't do that and ends up in trouble Warne did then i am a human who made a mistake.Where does it leave me then??

You don't have to read the small print EVER TIME, but if you are taking a medicine with which whose name you aren't familiar with the you should read the small label.

I never said that i'm perfect, but when someone has made a mistake then he/she has to pay the penalty. Interestingly you understand that Warne made a mistake yet are confident that the results of second test would be negative!!
:O

Tests are fallible mate, you can never be sure of the outcome.

Warne is human, he just didn't think about it, he did a silly thing but that does not make him an "idiot" which is a crude title at best.

History is littered with such 'silly things'. I'm sure that Warney is no Ben Johnson or Diego Maradona, but he sure looks to be a bit of a 'Linford' at the moment.

I sure hope that the 'B' sample is negative, but that is most unlikely.

I didn't knew that the tests were so unreliable, that too in this modern age!!

You would have thought Microsoft would have made an operating system like Windows 98 that managed not to damage it's own registry every couple of days...:rolleyes:

You can never predict anything, there is allways room for doubt. And it will stay that way unless someone suddenly works out how to stop everything going wrong and makes everything go to plan...

 

[Trescothin]

And i thought we were talking about medical labratory tests:rolleyes: .

There is about 1-5 % chance that the result would come out negative the second time around!! Untill then sleep well and have nice dreams!

 

[Anil]

Has the B Sample taken place yet? No, so he's innocent till proven guilty. I really doubt it will come out positive, even if it does he won't get a long ban. Oh and Warne could very easily be a success against India. Anyway we'll see soon enough...(about the sample, but an India tour of Australia can't be far away)

On what are you basing the assumption that Warne could very easily be a success against India? The facts suggest otherwise....in fact just the opposite. Also, the last 2 tours against India were during his peak years on turning tracks. What makes you think there will be a different result the next time around?(Don't tell me he is a spin genius, versatile etc etc, he was all of that the last couple of times too.) It is quite likely that the Aussies might win the next series in India(they were quite close to doing that last time also), but very unlikely that India will succumb to Warne. Anything is possible in cricket, but some things are, let's just say, unlikely.

Two words for you all: Alain Baxter.

Oh, and IMO there's as much chance of a negative B Test as there is of Steve Harmison getting through ten overs without a wide...
