Oz In Decline

[mittheimp]

Well they were certainly rubbish against South Africa! 90 odd all out, a total embarrassment! Compare that with the supper showing of the English in India, the hardest place to win. Half the team injured and yet they are favourites going into the last day!

I guess a day is a long time in the cricket forcasting business. Australia beat the Yarpies in the third ODI with a solid all round performance.

Meanwhile, England must have taken an early supper on the last day because they couldn't roll the Indian batsmen and the game ended in a draw.

Not being a fan of australian cricket in general , thought it worthwhile to make the comment, so the aussies lost a couple of matches its just a glitch,, they have a wealth of young talent coming through, they are in process of building a team, even playing as they are at the moment they are still the best in the world!!england have their odd flashes of brilliance but lack the killer instinct to clinically finish off opposing teams , so they will always be nearly the best,Cant believe it Moi defending australian cricket Blaim udon!! he has finally got me brainwashed Nignoy

Thought I would never see the day when Nignoy would say something positive about Oz.

Or maybe I have had too many changs last night and am just imagining all this.

The biggest problem with Ozzie cricket is the selectors. No consistency, resting star players for no logical reason, pushing in up and coming youngsters far too early etc.

A team needs to bond and they can't bond well with so many different players coming into the team over short periods of time.

The current board of selectors haven't got a clue.

What do you expect when they make Merv Hughes a selector! No doubt one of the funniest guys on the planet to get pissed with in the outer during a good game, but picking the side?

Well, i think the Ozzies will be very dissaponted with todays batting performance. The team from 5 years ago would hace built much more heavily on the platform crated by the umpires.

I can see SA chasing this average score down to take the series 3:2!

Was a great game , such high scores by both sides, was a credit to the sport,after such a performance by both teams , I think the end result was fair but not all that important, no doubt lots of my fellow lancastrians will be over the moon , we will see when they come to the Gabba nignoy

Fair cop Mittheimp!

I, like the Aussie team, thought it was just a matter of going through the motions after setting a score like that.

It was an incredible game, great to watch. It could have gone either way until the second last ball.

Well done Yarpies, some crap bowling by us. Therein lies the decline in our playing stocks. Without McGrath bowling miserly at one end the rest look ordinary. I'm not sure who's pushing Lewis at this level, but for me he's never had it. Hopefully, he can take his world record worst bowling home and never return.

Pontings decision to bowl Lewis right out near the end was mystifying.

[Donz]

Oz sport isnt in decline, we just sick of winning.

[Old Croc]

At least it took a world record to beat Australia!

England faded badly in the second innings of the second test and were beaten by 9 wickets by India. England down 1-0 in the series to decide the second ranked side in the world!!

Did you all notice that everyone of those scores was a winning score....except one...

Oz may well hold the highest losing total for a long time, But I reckon the highest winning total wont be held by SA for that long....

Also noticed that England needed 55 overs in a game just to make the list......
