Haha. Just when I thought the 5-0 thread was the worst one going around.

It's pure quality. My original idea for a thread was entitled "Would England have won if Popeye and Superman were in the team" But then I thought that would be pushing my luck a bit too far.

Come off it, it's not as if anyone has suggested that Australia lost on purpose because the current generation coming up to retirement wanted to add "regaining the Ashes" to their CV having previously never achieved that feat. |

I think its quite clear to me that both Hayden and Langer are 2 players who would have struggled to average in the 30s had they played in an any era before the late 90s. The fact that both had mediocre records before that bears testiment to it. Even now against a quality attack on a pitch offering any sort of assistance you can see their deficiencies being exposed quite easily. For mine while this current Australian bowling attack is still looking quite strong(with Johnson presumably coming in) the batting largely revolves around Ponting and Hussey(and to a lesser extent Clarke) while the rest are either ordinary(Langer, Hayden), past it(Gilchrist), or just rubbish(Symonds).

Hayden has shown that he is very vulnerable when the ball is seaming around and bouncing. He looked weak against the remnants of the great West Indian fast bowlers, and couldn't cope with the extreme pace of an unfit Shoaib Akhtar.

Shane Warne averages over 30 at his peak?
