Glenn McGrath and Other Predictions

[Andre]

Well life is about taking risks and with that in mind, I'm going to make a prediction; Glenn McGrath will have close to his best year ever this year. I don't care that he's 34 years old or anything like that. I reckon he's primed for a huge year at international level.

He's even let his hair grow a little longer so he's lost that ridiculous Herman Munster variant he's had for ages. I think he's more relaxed than he's ever been (especially in interviews) so I'm tipping a big year.

Anyone want to stick their necks out for a big prediction?

Well, I do remember very early on in the innings that you were calling Hayden for a very big hundred and he made 380. I'll back you on this one too because I agree 100%.

Anyway, predicition - Brett Lee won't make it back into the Test side until midway through the home summer due to Kasper.

Warne will take a hattrick including the wicket of tendulkar

If it's anything like this then It'll be the opposite

 

[Eclipse]

You have to remember that his world starts at Cairns and ends at Hobart.

I though it started in NSW and ended also in NSW.

LOL

Neil got a bit carried away!

I personally wouldnt pick him in the Test arena and give Kaspa an extended stay in the side even through the home summer.

However, your probably right though.

It isnt of case of what I will do, is what they will likely do (That is the NSP - National Selection Panel for those that dont know).

My tip Darren Lehmann will retire from international cricket next season.

Lehmann said so in an article in my local paper the other day, that he is hinting that he may quit after next season.

 

[marc71178]

So not really your tip then is it, if the man himself has said it?

 

[Gaijin-san]

Now, whos had a bad day ?

Actually, today was my bad day.

 

[age_master]

all the things that i said are a chance of happening, the point is to wait 12 months and see.

though Tendulkar taking a hattrick against Australia inculding warne would be quite amusing.


and for the record, anything east of SA and south of NSW is not part of my world (note Ponting now lives in the 'gong )


if McGrath has a great year, and Warne bowls well, what chance do India have...

Anyway, predicition - Brett Lee won't make it back into the Test side until midway through the home summer due to Kasper.

might play 5 bowlers at some stage which would bring him back sooner (depending on how soon he is fit to play)

 

[Sudeep]

As "good" as new?

Yes. People used to like him when he was new.

In fairness I didn't tip the triple. I did tip him a double ton when he was about 21 I believe. I just thought he looked damn ominous. It's a beautiful thing when one is REALLY right!

Lehmann said so in an article in my local paper the other day, that he is hinting that he may quit after next season.

Could you check that out because I've heard quite the opposite in my patch.

 

[Craig]

Well at the very least the constant travel is starting to get to him.

Darren Lehmann said somewhere that he isn't getting any Younger
and by the way he's 34 i'll bet he will be retiring next season
and then there will b a chance for Clarke to step in the Test
side I think he is the unluckiest guy not to be getting a chance.

 

[marc71178]

So how has Clarke jumped ahead of the likes of Love in the pecking order?

He's hardly done that well in First Class Cricket to push him above more-established players, let alone to call him unlucky.

 

[Craig]

Well I hope Love gets his chance.

 

[chicane]

^Dude remember Nathan Bracken softening up Sehwag in the TVS cup? McGrath won't be so easy even now.
