Mate, I remember you lot thrashing us when Waugh was in charge, it isn`t any form of sport when the opposition are so bad,like we were then and you are now.
The Lions rugby games were great entertainment due to how close the games were, this ashes series is not entertaining. Your guys really need to buck up and make a game of it.
It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.
im so disappointed these guys just have forgotten what cricket is to us playing England its about time to man up for christs sake the kiwis had the better of these poms a couple of months ago

Funny as I was thinking just that when I replied. How quickly we choose to forget. So yes fracster you are quite correct on all fronts. I just don't need another source of reminder- i've got too many already!Originally Posted by fracster

We simply just don't have the batsmen in the team to get the job done.
There is no one in the top six (or the squad) who I look at and see the next Hus or Clarke or Langer. No one.
Not one of our batsmen give me the confidence they know how to play a long innings. Techniques are shonky too and don't hold up under pressure.
Bowlers will win you test matches (and we have plenty of them), batsmen loose test matches 'cause you've gotta make enough for the bowlers to bowl to.
Sadly I predict there will be more innings totals around the 100 mark before this series is done.

I think 20 20 as a lot to answer.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
Yep I agree, it is killing the game.
I love tests and enjoy the one day games but 20 20 I cannot watch and it is teaching the guys that their wicket is not that important.
All countries play 20-20 mate, cricket needed 20-20, it has created a lot more interest in the sport.
It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.
Watching cricket I watch test match first then one dayers ten soccer golf paint dry then 20/20 its rocks or diamonds. Cricket is a gentlemans game now its just a cheap whore that sells herself. We didn't blood in young bats men for tests and put to much pressure on them in the 90"s and 00 you had to average 80 or better in our domestic comp now you get a couple of 50's and you bat for aus.

I also think it gives so-so players an inflated sense of their ability......
Glenn Maxwell is a prime example. Is he really a player worth $1M? Not on your life, the guy hasn't even completed a full season of state cricket.
I don't reckon some of them give enough of a sh!t......get dropped and go earn another half a Mil from some bogus Indian league team. Meh!
Personally, I prefer 20/20 to 50 over cricket as a spectacle to watch but test cricket is where it is at for me....suffering badly from sleep deprivation.

Agree with that mate, test cricket is the pinnacle as far as i`m concerned.
Dunno if you get it over there, but we had a great interview with Gilchrist on the radio here during lunch.
