Simply coz every1 who plays in that team is really proud to wer thier jersey.They all play their part n bak each other up {eg. if the top order doesnt perform Gilli n Lee bat well}.The Aussies knw that if they dnt perform they r gna get dropped{eg Clarke,Martyn,Katich}, unlyk in oytha teams players who are nt performing well are kept in the team{eg.Boje }"sorry man bt u do nutin for SA"

So, what's your point. We know the Aussies are the best, but I can tell you that they won't be the best in about 5 years time. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Too many politics involved as well, its ruined the pakistan team for years. Not till the Inzamam/Woolmar era has it sorted itself out. Before it was the Waqar and Wasim AND friends team. Not only that, they probably go into each match like Premiership Football Managers do, study each oponent and their tactics for the coming matches. ------------- Some great cricketing quotes: "It's tough for a natural hooker to give it up." - Ian Chappell "On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls." - Rex Alston, BBC |

I completely agree with you. Politics has been the main source of ruining Pakistani cricket for years. Inzamam and Woolmer have brought a huge change into the Pakistan team and I commend them for that.  ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Yeah credi goes to Inzi & the Coach. But there is another imp. point to note. Previously out of 11 players in Pakistani Team, there used to be 6 or 7 captains. So how could it become a good team. Presently induction of youth in the team and not relying on any one player, has brought the dramatic change. So far as Aussies as a best team as concerned, i think they were the best because they were really a team in its true spirit. TEAM Play was the key to success. Its was partiular with Aussies that despite having their wicket falling after regualr intervals, they never let the run rate down and finally a good partnership enabled them to pile up a huge total. Best in batting, fielding, bowling and team play. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

LOLLLLL Boje is useless isnt he, he is used as a front line spinner when he even said himself that he is a middle order batsmen that can bowl occasional spin, he is as good as a part timer. HE bowls very defensive aswell. Plain useless. Also Hamish Marshall y the hell stick with him??? ------------- |

hence their success.

Ok, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were great players and were number 1.
I don't care what you say about the rest but Wasim and Waqar were great. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

they were great, but they are also the reason for failure, they didnt allow new blood to get into the team, hence their abissmal performance until inzy became captain. ------------- Some great cricketing quotes: "It's tough for a natural hooker to give it up." - Ian Chappell "On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls." - Rex Alston, BBC |

Yeah this is a very good Pakistan team. Pakistans batting has been so good of late I think they will easily be able to score over 500 against Australia. Their bowlers might struggle but there again, Australia's batsmen (except for Ponting) are not in the best of form

I don't think you can count out the Aussies so easily. As good as Pakistan might be at the moment, they won't just crush Australia. It'll be a hard competition, and hopefully at the end, Pakistan will be the team on top. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

look at there bowling and battin attack. they have shane warne and
glenn mcgrath and the supreme pace of brett lee. also the new sing
bowler nathan bracken. and their batting line up with hayden and langer
opening both made many hundred and hayden making the sceond highest
score in an innings. ponting a great captain and has made over 8000
runs and hussey and hodge both new to game but have proved that they
deserve the place. hussey making hundreds and hodge making double
huindred. also with symonds good with the ball and bat and a great
fielder with a superior shot at the stumps. and they also back each
other up.. thats why they are the best! |

I think they have good team spirit. Because after loosing the Ashes, they still came back and dominated the world. That's team spirit.
They also have the best players in the world. They have the best bowlers (McGrath and Warne). They have the best Test batsman today, Ricky Ponting. And they have a lot of other class players. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Once Glenn McGrath and Warne retire, Australia will not be No.1 any more. So get ready, 1st spot is up for grabs! In 6 years time I would say South Africa would be no.1 in ODI. In Tests it would be so tight, so I don't really know. ------------- |

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

clobber theres guys that come over from county and play grade cricket and not many are successful. But yer it is true what your saying one of your blokes his name is jake ? (something) and he plays junior 19s for england and county (not the top level), but when he comes to australia he only gets a game in second grade and averages around 30. Were i cant remember his exact name but he played for bayswater/morley is western australia and he played county and apparen'tly has been doing ok for himself

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! ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

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. |

what was wrong with symonds tour of south africa i think he did better then most of the other aussie batsmen took wickets made runs thats what you want from an all rounder isint it 30-40 odd runs and 2-3 wickets i think he played a good series its just the age concern hes already 30 and will be 35 in the next 5 years so i doubt hes name would still appear in the aussie squad 5 years from now ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |
