Test Cricket Ladder

Ooooooh big man.

I'm pretty sure Eddie was referring to the 2005 ashes series when the score was 2-1.... TO ENGLAND and a lot of Australians blamed the injury to Glenn McGrath as the reason for losing.

Would I be right Eddiesmith???

5-0.

What about the 06/07 Ashes series which Australia won 5-0?
England blamed umpires, injuries, even cricket australia for not letting england come down and prepare because they wanted a lopsided series!!

By England, I do hope you are not referring to the country as a whole, because if so, where is your evidence for this??

I have said it before and I'll say it again, we were completely outplayed. Dominated even. The poor umpiring didnt help (as it didnt for you guys in 2005), the injuries didnt help, and having poor preparation also didnt help. BUT... even with all of those things fixed, we still wouldve been dominated.

Oh and as for your question about the 5-0, Australia were fantastic and completely deserved the 5-0 win. That answer your question?

This is the exact attitude that saw you lose 5-0 you silly Poms..
Will be living up the 2005 ashes win for the next ten years, until you realise you have done nothing since, and are at the bottom of the world again!!

England is quite poor you are correct.

What attitude would that be??

I have quite openly admitted we were completely dominated in this series.

Why wouldnt we live up to the 2005 ashes win?? We can hardly look back on the 2006/2007 series with grace.

Yep and also the 2003/04 series against India where they blame the injury to 1 bowler for not beating the worlds worst travelling side Hell they even go as far as say India failing to win shows how ******** they are because the Aussies were missing a bowler

I have to give you some for finding 2 series where we have struggled (a tie and a 1-2 loss) over the last rather large amount of tests. Not easy to pick holes through the greatest team of all time. Heck i think we can crush Steve Waughs run of 16 test wins in a row with our current streak.
Knocking the Australian cricket side of the last dozen plus years is like knocking Phar Lap or Sir Don. Stupid.

5-0

Worst travelling side?

No...

Warne and McGrath are one bowler?

Fair enough....So who's Ed referring to in this post?

This the same Aussie side who blame injuries if one pace bowler is missing?

The Aussie side? Did the players blame McGrath's absence for the loss did they? Or was it the whole country? Or is this post ok and Roosterlad's not?

How would I know???

You had better ask Ed that question.

2.England
3.South Africa
4.India
5.Pakistan
6.Sri Lanka
7.Victoria
8.Western Australia
9.Tasmania

New South Wales doesn't have the batting lineup to be ahead of England, Pakistan and South Africa

Queensland number 2. Get off it. Perren is their only bat who can be relied upon to score runs.

Post was in jest but if Australia is out if the equation naturally Test players revert to their states.

McGrath,Lee,Clark,Bracken,McGill would be better than any Test bowling attack and if the opposition doesnt score runs than your batsmen aren't required to score that many .

Hayden,Maher,Love,Perren,Watson,Symonds,Hopes,Hartley,Bichel,Kasperwicz and Noffke - that's a lineup with first class 100's from 1 to 11 if my memory serves.

WA always smashed the crap out of Pakistan, rolled them in 2 days...Don't we get some points for that?
