4 years on and they have taken your advice. Although he just giggles at poms rather than stirring pots.

No, he went to Perth, was told that if he bowled the doosra he would be banned. He believed them.

The little champion is just plain wrong.

Wrong maybe, but the likes of Aus, Eng and NZ are missing out on the production of a world class offie because of our ethical thinking. Clearly an offie needs a doosra these days, and I maintain that they simply cannot be bowled without chucking them. So we can either join 'em (within the alleged 15 degree limit - which Ajmal is not within a bull's roar of) or find another Warnie, cos that's the only way we are gonna match 'em in the spin department.

I blame Mikey Holding and his 15 degrees of bullsh!t committee and the quntish Lankan Cricket Board and their BCCI whoring supporters.

That would be the bits of Mosman still in him that caused that

Turn it up. Years in the Queensland sun have finally started to frazzle the little champs brain.

Noticed that, there was a thinly veiled reference to teaching them to 'cheat', i.e. if you can't beat them, join them.

Maybe we just need a decent spinning coach

A 'decent spinning coach'? He'd be one who could teach a player to use up to 15 degrees of flex, right?

NTR

Phurt!

Anyone watch the final ep of the summer last night?

Interesting stuff from Crash Craddock. Someone can correct me but I thought he said that something like 81c in the dollar of all revenue raised from cricket is from India. It's the only reason we have a tri-series this year - it increases the exposure of the Indian side on the Aus coverage back in India (4 v Aus and 4 v SL + Finals, which is more than an Aus v Ind JAMODI series would have). We'll revert back to a 2 team series next summer.

CA would have India touring ever year if it could, as an Indian tour makes 4 times the money that the Ashes do. Only Bannie and Ashes series make money, all other series are money losers. FMD, no wonder the qunts are so arrogant towards the rest of world cricket.

Imagine what could be achieved if we could get the Chinese interested and competitive at the game??
