It was 3 bad ones in a row.Clarence said:Has one bad tour and the selectors select ordinary bowlers such as Lewis and S. Clark in front of him? Ridiculous ffs.
What's a "long time"? He had an average summer, and a poor Ashes series... before that he was simply superb in both the subcontinent tours, particularly in India. And given that he has 18 wickets @ 16 in 3 games so far this season, I'd say he's not too far off good form again.donwasaverage said:absolutely agree he was a liability in the ashes but he had been playing badly for a long time before that. he has lost a lot of pace and confidence and only stayed in the side as long as he did becuse he's taken so many test wickets.
if he ever gets back enough form to force his way back into the side i'll eat my helmet.
Is that word bloody?SJS said:He may had a bad Ashes series but he is a bl**** good bowler. It is only the presence of McGrath in the side that prevents his true worth from being appreciated. If Australia were to replace him permanently, with McGrath's career coming to a close, the loss for them would be huge ....and for cricket.
He is a wonderful bowler....too good to be judged on tha basis of one bad series.
