    ***Official Australia in South Africa***

    I think its a bit harsh to blame Australia's loss on Ponting. I am certainly not an admirer of his captaincy, but had Lewis bowled to the field his captain had set...and bowled with some intelligence he wouldn't have gone for 11 runs per over. Lewis is a professional cricketer with enough...

    Can someone tell me...

    The TCCB refused to put up the Ashes. Australia had just welcomed back the WSC defectors and were at full strength. Thats why they won 3-0.

    Toss Innovations

    I agree to some extent. Certainly, pitches contribute to the result, thats why you don't see an Australian side win the toss and put the opposition in to bat very often...the 5th Day Warne factor decides that. But, I still think it takes one or two personal performances to turn a game. The pitch...

    Toss Innovations

    I totally agree. Maybe Groundsmen around the world prepare pitches to suit home teams, maybe they don't...we have home/away series so we (as fans) can watch test cricket and thats it. Each Cricket Board would like to see matches go into the 5th day, not end on the 3rd or 4th...so to prepare a...

    You still haven't answered the question. Facts, please mate. Not just your opinion.

    Strength of First Class Competitions

    Easy...Australia has been the number one nation in all forms of the game for over 10 years. You don't get to number one and hold it for that long without have a strong domestic competition. And, you can prove your case....how? By saying you have better fast bowlers? Where are your facts to back...

    Strength of First Class Competitions

    If you think that because the Pakistan U19 team beat the Australian U19, or even Pakistan A beat Australia A, makes Pakistan domestic cricket the best in the world, then you could argue that England are the number one test side in the world because they beat Australia in the Ashes. Or that...

    Strength of First Class Competitions

    I'm sorry, but you really are deluded if you think Pakistan domestic cricket is stronger than the Pura Cup ( or County Cricket for that matter). But, I won't burst your bubble...you obviously have been on another planet for the last 20 years.

    Australian Cricket and All-Rounders

    Steve Waugh, before he had injuries that limited his bowling, was a very good medium pace bowler. Late 80's til early 90's was probably his prime.

    Andrew Symonds

    No, he's not...the experiment has failed. Time to put Martyn or Clarke back in or go with another Hussey.

    Ponting is the biggest choker of them all !

    Personally, Ponting is not my favourite cricketer, but I'm starting to thinking we should call these forums the "PontingBashingWeb Forums". LOL theres more Ponting Bashers on here than Inzy's had roast dinners...and thats considerable.

    Does Australia really need an all-rounder?

    Miller was our last true all-rounder...but, I was thinking of modern day cricket.

    Does Australia really need an all-rounder?

    I think the fact that no-one has come up with a 'true' Australian all-rounder, who consistantly played in the test team shows that their is no need to include one. BTW, the only one I could think of was Greg Matthews, and you couldn't say he ever set the world on fire with his batting or...

    Does Australia really need an all-rounder?

    Sorry, I meant the Australian team.

    Does Australia really need an all-rounder?

    Can anyone think of a Test All-Rounder of any merit, who has been a mainstay in the test side in the last 30 years?

    Does Ponting own the game of cricket??

    I agree mostly with whats been said about Ponting in this thread. I have given him the benefit of the doubt for a long time, hoping he would improve in both his behaviour and his skill at captaincy. But, alas, he has let me down again. I will defend him on the 'offering the light' call in the...

    Chappell fingering fans

    I totally agree. Getting booed by your own crowd must be very disheartening. This incident, while not particularly savoury, has been blown out of all proportion.

    Chappell fingering fans

    Oh, you English are precious. I keep forgetting your team is a shining light in a dark era of bad behaviour...sainthood must be just around the corner.

    Duncan Fletcher Blasts Australia

    And you now this because you sit in on the tactical meetings? I'm sorry, but that is crap!!! The Windies were not above sledging and mentally dominating other teams. Australia wouldn't waste their time thinking up wonderful and witty sledges, they would be analysing every oppositions players...
