Dead right!!!! I say immediately after finishing a test match they should fly to the next venue and kick off bright and early the next day!

Another thing , I want 120 overs per day , like in the 1900's and the abolition of helmets , protective padding , pads , gloves and boxes!!!

Let's see REAL men out there - we want blood (lots of that!) sweat (tons and tons of that) and tears!! (especially from Australians!!)

No more mamby-pamby wimp stuff , let's take the game back into the bush!!

Sledger making an absolute mockery our of Cricket_Mstrs claim that cricketers don't deserve the rest.

Can i nominate this quote now. But seriously Gough helped England get those extra runs at the tail. he made 10+ runs in Shoaib's over.


Oh! and I thought he's supposed to be the main strike bowler for England so bad bowling or sloppy fielding couldn't be discounted by a bit better knock at No.10 .

How stuey performed in the years warne was banned & injured show the true genius of Macgill. He's not the tactician warne is, and more susceptable to pressure, but given the chance he is every bit as effective!!

He has been more than a replacement and has been more than effective and will be more if he cuts down that boundary ball which he gives every year .

 

I hope you mean every over.

A boundary ball a year might be considered good in some parts

OOPS SORRY

Well, if you asked a New Zealander they'd probably tell you that Australia is the West Island. Cheeky buggers.
