Why are the Aussies the best?

Originally posted by saadadvanced7 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.

People were saying exactly that 20 years ago,and they will still be spouting it in another 20 years.

We have youngsters comming up just the same as all the other minnow countries.

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!

these are odis by the way 3 of them

australia dont stand a chance against the mighty pakistani's arshad khan will be the spin doctor for pakistan with kaneria in support

akmal v gilchrist,y.khan v martyn,butt v jaques/katich,yousuf v symonds,razzaq v hussey and afridi v all of them afridi beats them all

June i think this year after or before the bangladesh test cant wait to see pakistan give them aussies a hammering akhtar is going to go head to head with his mate lee and once and for all whey'll see who is the fastest of them all

pakistan have improved right i reckon they can kick australias ass at home or anywhere i hope they play soon 3 one dayers coming up in june between them inzy,yosuf,butt,akmal,khan,malik have all improved since there last tour of australia

 i dont think there the best in the world they've lost 2 of there past 3 games i think pakistan and probably india  can match or beat australia

because they have andrew symonds

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.

hence their success.

Most pakistani players look out for number 1 *cough*shoaib*cough*afridi*cough*sami*cough*wasim*cough*

Waqar*cough*most players in past few years*cough

Sorry about that, a rage of coughing that could not be helped

The Pakistani team, you gotta love 'em, never seen a more comical team.

Would u pls let me know, if politics is involved in Aussies Team selection?

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.

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.

 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"
