Yeah Happy B-Day Freddie... :cheers Hope you liked our suprise we gave you on day 5. I for one wouldn't knock something great like that back, so don't be picky now, ya hear... :rolleyes: A.

Your a bit of a cheeky bugger huh! ;) It should at the very least make 'best seller' in the Joke Book category. A...

What's with all this ban-lifting lately... Due the crime, pay the time. Just because a player didn't know is not an excuse, as an international cricketer it is their duty to know the rules and to distance themselves from situations that may get them in trouble. I can't wait for these two...

Sounds like manslaughter to me. And if that isn't manslaughter then I'd like to hear what you think is?!?!

If I was a Barmy Army member, I'd toss my English flag in with the rubbish aswell... :D (was the flag amongst the rubbish the point you were trying to make, and that being an England supporter only suits them when they're winning? Some clarification please...some may not fully get it...

True - they'll play longer, but the context I was using is 'at this moment'. And as for them having over 1000 runs each, well they have been playing Test Cricket longer, so no real suprise there mate. I think Cook has played less test matches then Hussey, but given the many 'not outs' Hussey...

Good question, sohummisra... I think they'll go for a whitewash, as it may really destroy England's morale and cause them grief long term. The British press would absolutely tear them apart and help cause the end of one or two players careers aswell, namely Giles and G.Jones (who's careers...

To be honest, I can't think of anyone... Gilchrist used to be our man for such a job, but M.Hussey has made that role his own now. I doubt there's anyone who's as versatile as M.Hussey. Wether he's opening the innings, at middle-order or a tail-ender, he can do it, and does it well more...

The 5th day at the Adelaide Oval in the 2nd Ashes test... That has "Wow!" all over it.

With McGrath in doubt for the 2nd Ashes test in Adelaide, who do you think they'll replace him with??? Stuart MacGill is who I would pick... Shaun Tait is also a strong possible replacement, especially so given it's his home ground.

He probably would... :D

Glenn McGrath taking 6 wickets against England in the first Ashes test at the Gabba on his return from a 11 month break. That really shut the critics up - again. The emergance of Mr.Cricket (Mike Hussey) in Int. test cricket. Brad Hodge's 203* against the West Indies. Steve Harmison...

Imagine if the Ump' was a nice looking female, there would be whistles, etc. coming from every direction, that would be very distracting to players and the Umpire. Also, the ICC could take people whistling, etc. at the female Ump's as sexual harassment, and that could drive people away from...

Funny you should say that, considering we have a higher standard of living here. England's rated 12th and slipping, we're currently 8th and rising - thanks to our endless supply of natural resources. Heck, Australia's even a richer country then England. And, also have a better society to boot...

Marcus Trescothick is one of my fav' players, and my #1 fav' England player. I was really looking forward to watching this bloke bat, I love his style, and more so, his mentality when he bats. This sucks... Just hope the rest of the England side go home with depression aswell, and after...

Well, we've seen the PM's XI thrash a full strength England by 166 runs, and that PM's squad had some amount of youth, so the future is bright. Given England's recent form here in Oz, our PM's squad could win the Ashes. Honestly, I don't see why people say we have little youth talent. The...

Any player that is not 100% fit or has any decent recent form is a liabilty, no matter what sport. I can't see how you would say he'd be a benefit to the team. He would be of better use handing out advice from the side-line and having that relayed back to Flintoff (if it's legal). That was...

With the way they played against the PM's IX, NSW and SA, I doubt it. I'm sure most Poms would even consider their performance so far as simply pathetic. I personally was expecting much better from them, but history shows that as quickly as an England team rises, is as quick as they fall...

The ANZAC's deserve it, it's been long enough already... But, I suspect Asia will just sneak in and host the 2011 WC, mostly because it'll bring in more money, the ICC will as per usual over-look the quality factor that the ANZAC's have.

I don't think age really has anything to do with a new Test player being regarded as a rookie or not, International Test cricket is much harder than anything else, age and past experience in other forms of cricket are no guarantee that a player will do well in test cricket. It's probably...
