the 2001 Ashes team for the first 4 tests. KILLER. Swap Slater for Langer, but i like Slats, his batting rocked.
Touch pedantic, but didn't Waugh miss the 4th test through injury and get replaced by Simon Katich?

It is one hell of a team though.

Whatever it takes!!!
Haha.. I only started when I started playing cricket, which was when I was 12. Unfortunate because I missed out on a lot of awesomeness :(
I started watching when I was 3.. The first game I watched live was the tied test at Chepauk.. My first cricket watching experience, either telly or live.. :)

I don't remember anything from when I was 3 besides wetting the bed
I don't remember the exact cricket but do remember a few fans being evicted by the police as they were chanting rude stuff at the Aussie player near the boundary.. May have been Greg Mathews, not sure... :)
