I'd like to see whether Lee chucked any of his.Shane Warne said:I still want to see where his front foot was on those.
You really are a joke, aren't you?Shane Warne said:I still want to see where his front foot was on those.
Although the basis for many of the 3-1 predictions was England winning a dead, or nearly dead, rubber.King_Ponting said:most people havent predicted a whitewash... More a 3-1 result, which is going directly to plan. One must remeber tho that this test is being played at Edgbaston, a traditional weak point for the aussies, i think that issue has flown over a few peoples heads.
Yes, like we normally do.greg said:Although the basis for many of the 3-1 predictions was England winning a dead, or nearly dead, rubber.

The 'Eat Your Words' Thread
For all of us who have shoved our feet invariably and oh-so-painfully in our mouths. Why just about Flintoff ?
Over his career he's had good allround stats. Currently, he's not an allrounder. Simple as.Craig said:How is it possible he suddenly cannot bowl - it is the sort of thing a 13 year old would say.
I mean he is doing alright to take 183 Test wickets and 'can't bowl'. Is he rubbish now? Yes he is, was he for more then half of his career - certainly not.
Since he has placed more emphasis on his batting, his bowling has dropped away - simple.
Wow. You're really the pride of cricket fans around the world, ey?Shane Warne said:And if you add up their combined worth, it amounts to almost half of Mcgrath's.
I like the gospel you preach. Clearly you're trying to tell us that Australia is crap underneath the glamour. Good point.Shane Warne said:It happened, but was pretty meaningless.
It would be like England without Flintoff and Harmison.
The only difference would be that India would thrash you though if that were the case.

The great West Indian side of the past had so many quality pace bowlers that, had a front line bowler been injured, it would still be a genuine force to reckon with. Does this suggest that the current Australian side is not quite as great as some people suggest?

The team is, and the backup batting. But the bowling isn't anything to write home about.Mr Mxyzptlk said:I like the gospel you preach. Clearly you're trying to tell us that Australia is crap underneath the glamour. Good point.

Agreed.biased indian said:which we will do 98 of 100 times even if they have all the players if the series is in india
The bowling will be yeah.Retox said:Well in your world when McGrath retire (and then Shane Warne) Australia will be rubbish?
so why are you so consistantly wrong then SW...and unpopular.Shane Warne said:Sometimes the truth hurts, what can I say?
Being right is much more important to me than being popular.
