Did you just have a sip from my cup this morning?Oh yeah, definitely. That's the only shot you have at drawing even a single test against India.

Should we ask Warne to come out of retirement?

DOes it all has to do some thing with Murali's recent record ?Given the injury to MacGill? I know he'll be rusty, but a 60% ready-to-go Warne is probably a better bet than any of the spin alternatives.
Him leading us to a 4-0 series over India could be the perfect coda to his fairytale career!

Lol. Imagine if Murali retired just after this Test series against England and then Warne came out of retirement for the series against India and claimed it again.

No we shouldn't
Two seasons ago before Tait, Clark and Johnson emerged as viable options and Kaspa seemingly on the outer Australia's four best bowlers were McGrath, Warne, MacGill and Lee and they played five of the seven home Tests that summer. Kaspa was eventually recalled for the RSA series and Clark played where he emerged as a bowler who would soon later be described by Warne as the Worlds Best.
Even with McGrath gone our pace bowling stocks are looking good with someone like Bollinger IMO ranked at No.8 after Clark, Lee, Tait, Johnson, Noffke, Hilfenhaus, Gillespie and after Bollinger be Kaspa and McGoffin to round off the top 10.
Our spinning ranks after MacGill and Hogg as EWS would say is Dire. Maybe Watto should become a spinner.

Bollinger doing very well this season indeed. Has come a long way. He has 34 wickets at 14 which is just magnificent.
Exactly. We have plenty of quick options and Bollinger wouldn't look out of place. Clark, Lee and Tait deserve top three billing IMO, but Johnson has done well, Noffke is in great form with the ball (batting a bonus), Hilfenhaus took 60 wickets last year, Gillespie is still bowling well, Magoffin is in great form and Kaspa looks like getting back to fitness.

You serious? Surely one of the Vic quicks would now be ahead of Kaspa!
Benefit of the doubt to a fine Australian bowler who has taken over 100 Tests wickets, but has been injured in the last two seasons thanks to that stupid boot camp by Ned Flanders.
I would never rate Mick Lewis in a million years
McGain has been their main bowler this year.
Magoffin has been going well and deserved recognition.

Magoffin is WA and it's pretty hard to argue that McGain has been better then Gerard Denton this year..Benefit of the doubt to a fine Australian bowler who has taken over 100 Tests wickets, but has been injured in the last two seasons thanks to that stupid boot camp by Ned Flanders.

Yeah I know Magoffin is WA. He's been the quiet achiever this year. Taking wickets and not getting attention, whereas the likes of Bollinger and Noffke or even spinners like McGain and Hogg are getting lots of attention for their wickets.

Siddle is quite a good young talent actually, I really rate him highly. He has just come off an injury, but has performed well with the limited opportunities he's been given. 22 FC wickets at 21 is a pretty damn good start to your career in a competition that is traditionally tricky for younger bowlers and better for batsmen.
