LET THE CRICKET BEGIN

Hope we get a least one competitive game involving Aust this year
 
Yes, I heard a rumor that there might be an Australia B vrs England/NZ composite team. Or perhaps I just made that up to be nasty?
 
Kevin Pieterson has made himself available for the finals thats confidence for you (must be his South African upbringing : )
 
The Poms once again roll over and get flogged. Boring!!!!

Bring back the 70/80s Windies team for some real competition.

They were awesome ( The Windies I mean ).........Desmond Haynes, Gordon Grennidge.......then the mighty VIV as first drop..........Clive Lloyd......Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Joel Garner.........man what a team.

They could never be that good again.......surely.

There has been a lot of comparisons tried to be made between the Aussie teams of the last 10 years and that team - but imagine those guys in todays professional environment - the training, diet, psychology, focus - I think my money would be on Clive's team.
 
What was the name of the little short guy on that team i can remember him but his name escapes me?
 

For sure Kennas........although I don't think Viv needed any help with his focus.......... or confidence for that matter.

Viv was confident?? LOL What a freak! I bet the Windies are tring to analyse that period of their cricketing development to try and work out what was right about it.....

Kennas,

Every player in that team was exceptional........I think that is the key.

Unfortunately for Brian Lara he has to play with lesser talents. Shame.



Cons,

yeah I remember Gus Logie too although he came along a little later. He sure did get picked on by the crowds.........

yeah, I remember the arguments in the nets about who the fastest bowler in the world was ........Holding or Thommo. Great memories.

Of course everyone wanted to be Thommo.......like every kid wants to be Warney now.

I remember Gus Logie fielding at short leg one year and getting smashed in the face by someone and the face guard on the helmet just crumbled, I think he broke his nose.

Kennas,

LOL, probably the latter
