Warne said Sydney was it.
I really hope McGill sticks around. He's a talent-and-a-half. What a pity for him he got his start later than Warne. Whenever he's been in the side he's performed better than Warne. Apparently his crime is he likes wine (not beer) and reading.... [ 12-21-2006, 10:44 AM: Message edited by: Yorick ] |

Gah - McGill isn't a quarter the bowler Shane is - what are you thinking Eggman? [img]smile.gif[/img] . What you get from McGill is flat darts with large turn. Far more predictable and infinitely less devious than "The Enigma Variations" of Warnie.

I was kinda hoping England would win the Perth test. That was all over just a little too quickly. It's just not the same when the last two ashes tests are friendlies.

Mcgrath has just anounced his retirement after the world cup. So the last test in Sydney will see both champions retire!
Anybody got any spare tickets [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

That last test was painfull to watch, their worst performance yet. They had Australia on the ropes at 5/85 and came out after lunch with no plan to press home their advantage .... rubbish! Great to see Roy get his maiden test 100. 4 tests down and the poms have not bowled the Aussies out twice yet ![]()

Geez what a thrashing. I was hoping to see a bit of the Test when I got back to my hotel in Manila but it was already over!
I wonder what Nasser Hussain and the other English media who were moaning about how the OZ always have "the better of the wicket" and that the wicket had "settled down and eased considerably" yesterday after lunch have to say for themselves now eh. This is truly an abject performance - Stu Clark take a bow. Considering that the Guardian's Mike Selvey said that this wicket "lost a lot of movement as the day (yesterday) wore on", this is a great performance from Clark. You could understand the first innings as the pitch was a bit lively but this is a pitch that had "settled down and was perfect for batting" (according to the Telegraph yesterday). Unless it's suddenly developed gremlins again just in time for England to bat. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] Quote:

I have to admit that at the start of this series I didn't expect it to be this one-sided - England reached their zenith in Adelaide and when they folded there it broke their spirit as well. They've gone from bad to worse since, and looks like this Test was men against boys. I was expecting a 2-1 or 3-1 result but it's looking more and more like 5-0.

"Justin Langer becomes the latest Australian to announce his retirement" Shame it comes after the ashes ![]() With all these retirements there is hope for the next ashes series...
