wellsy 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Is there stories going that Glenn McGrath will retire too wellsy? Or is that speculation on your part about what's been happening off the field to him? I can see where you're coming from, and it would be a real shame for not just Australia, but cricket in general. One of the highlights for me of the last Ashes, despite the fact that I wanted England to win, was watching Shane Warne bowl. I've watched him bowl for 10 years, and if I could, I'd watch him for another 10. Incredible to watch. McGrath is the master too. Despite the fact that Warne and McGrath are key to Australia being the number 1 side in the world, I'd be sad to see either of them go after this series. Stuart MacGill wouldn't be a bad replacement at all though. Yeah that is the rumour from here; Here Also MacGill is older then i thought... he is 35 so he is coming to an end aswell, wow! A revolution in cricket and time for some of the younger spinners to step up now i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better record than Warne in Australia, although that could have changed recently. Seeing as he mostly plays when they need two spinners, i.e. on spin friendly surfaces, I wouldn't read too much into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy 0 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Warne takes his 700th wicket as he bowls Strauss for 50. England 4/117 at Tea with KP and Flintoff at the crease. Drizzly rain all morning but the sun is coming out slowly. Boxing day is so boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodgate27 0 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I was driving right past the MCG, listening to the radio, just when Warne bowled Strauss. I was very tempted to stop the car there and then, and run into the stadium to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 England all out for 159 with Warne taking 5-39. He'll remember this one for a while! Aussies 48-2 at the close of play. We're not doing great....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 159 all out.... what a fucking joke. This is about as funny as a Bobby Shinton stand up routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and that's the only reason we're absolutely destroying your useless team. Which makes stealing the tactics and broadcasting them even more pathetic. Can you imagine the Test Match Special team doing the same if someone gave them the Australian plans? Of course not. Mind you, Fletcher already gave away our tactics with his book on how we won the 2005 series, the moneygrabbing twat. Not that this is a valid excuse for the Australians.

wellsy 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Just thought i would bring this baby back up. Sir Richard Branson is leading a campaign to keep the Ashes in Australia and the winner actually wins the right to keep them. This could be interesting and i agree with him completely. On the field Flintoff scored 89 as England were all out for 291 and in reply Australia are 4/188 with Symonds and Hussey at the crease. Should be an interesting couple of days coming up.

Gemmill 44114 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The footage was funny this morning - 4 deliveries left in the day and Symonds decides he's gonna howk Panesar all over the place. Swings wildly at one which goes just over Pietersen's head. Cut to Ponting in the Pavilion sitting shaking his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
