Why are the Aussies the best?

no way i cant imagine coz i dont see any shining star in west indies

i dont think they have the most team spirit

simple while batting their top 4 batsman hardly fail and while fielding they have top bowlers backed up by superb fielders like symonds ,ponting ,hussey ,clarke etc..

Aussie will continue there great team in the next 5 years they have some very good players coming through.

yous don't understand that theres many people in australian state that could be playing now and some are just as good as them except there is none any better than punter. Fast bowlers we are introuble there and maybe australia could develop dan cullen who is way ahead in development at the same stage of warneys career but batting wise theres alot to look foward to. We could become an india cant bowl but we can bat

ahhh yer thats because there like 24-28 and havent had international experience, There will always be a good australian team. They are just as good they just need experience.

I wouldn't agree with crownmethod - you have to be a damn good player to play state cricket down under. In fact you can be sure there are guys playing grade cricket that are better than some of the players here in the English county championship.

australian team in 5 years

phil jacques,ponting,cosgrove,clarke,symonds,haddin,lee,warne(he can play till 40 + if he wants)clark,tait,?

Hmmmmm , Ponting won't open. Symonds will disappear. Warne's shoulder will give out well before he's 40. Stuart Clark will be 35......Brett Lee will be 33 and knackered and Tait will still be spraying it all over the park.

It looks like Australia won't be able to bowl Zimbabwe out after Warne and McGrath give it up!

that team will still beat england. clark will have more experience (he doesnt try bowl fast) tait will be experienced and will produce wicket taking deleveries, if warney isn't around cullen could do well,
Brett lee will do well at 33 with experience maybe not as much pace but will be more accurate and symonds probaly wont be around in the test team as much as i hate to say this but his test match figures are pathetic average of 19, although they can atleast look decent after bangladesh (hopefully)
But i think he could do well against england as he likes playing them as much as his figures don't show it.

yer it wasnt too bad, the pitches were hard to play on for all batsmen

How about relook there i didn't say they make best pitches at present and you agreed in the post before by saying so they should because of the sun coming from a whinging pom there

Originally posted by RISE_OF_MACCA sledger ok just for you england make crap pitches south africa and australia make the best pitches but maybe not right at present times maybe to some bad weather during preparation or something. I know gillespie and kaspa got smacked around at england, due to some good batting and poor bowling and i hate them anyways

That's coming from someone who couldn't match half their career averages. I'm sure you would get smashed around aswell, by international batsman.

sledger you seem to think you know about everything and your predictions are very arrogant most cricketers play till 35 mate
