No disrespect to NZ, but you blokes have a rather deeper talent pool.FaaipDeOiad said:It's possible. He was bowling as well as he ever has between the tour of India and the Ashes, and if he comes back in the same vein I can't see why he wouldn't be able to play for 2-3 more years.

yea i'd agree he is supremely fit, pretty much the fittest fast bowler i've seen other than Walsh.Mister Wright said:Knowing McGrath he'll probably do it.
The health of his wife, may be the only thing that stops him.

Thats a lot of very sensible posts.
No doubt, but Hadlee's performance didn't really drop off. He took 5 wickets a test at an average of 23 in his final year, though he was actually 39. Basically his only bad year was '89, when he only played 2 tests. Aside from that, he didn't average over 25 for a single year after his 30th birthday.BoyBrumby said:No disrespect to NZ, but you blokes have a rather deeper talent pool.
