You just need to look at the U-19 World Cup to see some of the amazing young players in world cricket. There are young-twenties players such as Asif with incredible records already. And then there are those who become world-class at a later age, such as Hussey.

I blame women for Neil`s recent decline. It could surely only be women.

I guess me and the OP differ in the sense that he watches cricket for the stars. I watch cricket for the cricket. As long as thats exciting and fun, I couldn't care less who's playing.

I dunno but the guy has a point, poorly put.. I've become less passionate about international cricket than I was a few years ago, guess I'm just overly cynical and fed up of the cheats/drug takers/controversy/money spinning/Twenty20 that I think detracts from the modern international game.. A lot of my heroes are retiring and I can't find anyone to replace them, there are definitely fewer "characters" as they are so called. We have never had a Shane Warne before, so what makes anyone think we are going to have another one? I don't think there will ever be another Shaun Pollock either.. I have 20,000 posts, and I think I've only made about 2,000 in cricket chat.

South African cricket is no longer a force, Zimbabwean cricket has all but disappeared (but who cares?) and most international boards are ruled by politicians and moneymakers.. I'd rather follow a local club, whose heart is in cricket and not politics. True there are days like Mick Lewis, and the PE ODI in 2005 where I rediscover my love for it all, but I'm not positive about the future.. Whilst I'm still passionate about cricket as a sport, I hope I spend far more time playing it than watching it on tele in the coming years.. I really miss playing it, but apart from this years ashes, I don't really miss not watching it..

Sad to hear that, really. I think the recent past has been fantastic for cricket. Few draws, lots of tense finishes. :shrug: Everything that I would want, regardless of whether India is crap or not.

I dunno really, I just feel I'd rather watch a club knockaround with a few mates, whereas I used to want to watch Jonty and Allan and co.. I don't think its particularly negative, I just have different priorities..

Yet of those you named only Tendulkar played Test Cricket before he was 21, and last time I checked, 1 was not a trend.

And it can be said that even he was put into the Test side too early. At the very least, he set a very bad precedent where young kids are ruined because they are put into the test side too early because they are apparently the next Tendulkar.

Haha, second funniest reply so far. I acctualy LOLed.

Meh, some of the great players you mention probably look a lot better relative to the talent around the, cricket will survive, at least with McGrath and Warne(an probably a few more Aussies soon) international cricket will become a lot more competetive.
