    Nice one Dougy!! On a side note, is it just me, or could our bowlers stand to get in much closer to the stumps? Stump to stump, a 'la McGrath (or is the ooh aah 'la Glenn McGrath).. :wacko: There just seems to me to be too much consistent angle. I'd rather see stump-to-stump for most...

An all-rounder is an option if we have great bowlers like Warne & McGrath. Now that we don't, let's get back to the traditional plan and...
