The older you get the more negative you seem but that’s because you’ve got more to compare with. Really sad to see our top six unable to cope with testing conditions. What we would give for a Boon or a Wood or a Border right now. Greg Chappell’s rule was first 20 are scored between mid off and mid on. Need that philosophy now.


To be fair they look like they’re playing straight they just can’t find the right line. Neither of them has middled anything attacking or defending.


Yes that’s fair. I suppose I’m talking more generally in that we just don’t seem to be able to tough it through a good spell or trying conditions. You know - soft hands, leave heaps, look for singles etc


Yeah fair comment. Some of them just need to guard their stumps and leave the rest. Warner the opposite though. He needs to crank one through the covers or point and get moving. His line reading looks shot.


100%. His whole career has been built on dominance. Personally, I reckon his time out and subsequent criticism has knocked the stuffings out of him

And you know what Steve ...I actually thought that it would do more harm to Smith than Warner ....Warner and controversy could have been lovers


Yeah a good mate of mine felt exactly same. Shows what Smith is made of hey? I’d have him next to me in a defensive line!!

Steve Waugh on the other side
