Yeah, I recall it allthough I wanted the proteas to win the match. I got to say that Gibbs probably made the biggest blunder of his life in that match too. He was a good hooker too but after he went out in 2002 I think and then came back in 2003, he hardly use to play it again but for me, he was one of the greatest slog sweepers I have seen.

Brilliant post BOBBI!

I always told myself that S Waugh was one of the greatest players I have seen play. S Waugh transfered the game as well. He was a player who liked to see the score board ticking all the time and thats why attacking in batting is a big part of the game these days. S Waugh, not the greatest feet mover but a brilliant batter. He was tough; tell me, how many players have we known to try and slog sweep Akhtar. Waugh is the only I have seen attempt it allthough he was unsuccessful.

Agreed!

The test of Ponting's mantle shall come in the next 4-5 years. Ponting will end up with every batting record bar the average by the time he retires but it is how he manages first this aging list and then the transitional one that is soon approaching.

Lose Gilchrist, Lanhger, Hayden, Martyn, Warne, McGrath and Ponting will still have a better list than Border inherited.

No doubt Waugh was one of the toughest men around , losing just wasn't an option. Then again , he probably learnt a lot of the hardnosed stuff from AB !!

Remember the Jones dehydration incident in India - the man nearly died and asked AB to go off , retired hurt. The reply went something like ,"Fine , bugger off and send in a real Australian!"

Jones stayed out there and made a double before ending up in hospital!

Ponting's a lil fluffy bunny rabbit compared to AB and Tugger!]]> Thu, 16 Nov 2006 06:35:43 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2649&PID=97513#97513 Australia’s Ashes Captain : Waugh was a fantastic leader in... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2649&PID=97503#97503 Author: BOBBI

Well, from that list, I have only seen Waugh and Ponting and to be honest, Benaud is out of his mind this time by saying Ponting is better than Waugh. Waugh was more aggressive than Ponting! I remember times where the new ball was taken and you couldn't have find a gap between the keeper and Gully. You hardly see that from Punter!

Waugh is one of the best skippers I have seen.

(The other names in the poll aren't relevent to Richie's comments since he has picked his best Ashes XII of the last 30 years and then chosen his captain from that selection, so guys like Taylor, Ian Chappell and..erm...Hughes, weren't elligible).
