I wonder if Bomber knows!

Find one instance in the history of cricket did you? Thank yourself lucky you didnt have to endure english cricket in the painstaking decades of the 60's, 70's and 80's when draws were celebrated as wins.

But apparently we wouldn't know anything about it, yet only one side has ever declared in a test at 0/0.

Re: India v Australia - test series
I can make a good assumption as to who it was. I remember when the news about him broke, this was the game that everyone mentioned.Bacon888 wrote:Look who the opposition captain was....God is an Englishman wrote:It was quite recent as well, well onyl 12 years ago.Bomber wrote:Find one instance in the history of cricket did you?

I don't think we'll win both series 5-0, you need a lot of luck to manage that.

Re: India v Australia - test series
All cabernet aside, I think England will cruise to a 3-1 or 4-1 win over there (based on current form, selection policies etc), then there will be an uproar and sackings within the ACB, then Australia to reclaim them with a tough fought 2-1 win over here after some necessary changes.
Get Ian Chappell, Warney and Tubby Taylor involved with some decision making regarding selection and policy, and things could turn around quicker. But due to egos and snobbery, cant see it happening in a hurry.

here it might be a little different and the result of the first series will encourage some major changes to the Australian line up
England will win both series comfortably though, Australian cricket is in disarray

You could have the greatest selectors in the world and they still have cabernet players to choose from.

Re: India v Australia - test series
i dont think this is a cyclical trend as it seems to apply to most sports now, not just cricket
Australians seem unable to compete well internationally in general

you gave us untold cabernet when you were on top. Now you're cabernet at sport, it's our turn and we're loving it.

Con M - the two series are being played within 6 months of each other, so not much will change.
Australian cricket has officially moved into crisis mode.

Of course it didnt matter - you're always on about hindsight!God is an Englishman wrote:So because you got smashed, a cabernet decision doesn't matter!
Maybe the next time Kenny Jackett makes a "strange" sub whilst Millwall are 1-0 down - if they concede again and ultimately lose by more, I guess that will make him a hopeless manager.

It's not hindsight though, it was strange at the time.
And yes if Jackett keeps making mistakes like that then he's hopeless and would ahve to go.
Clark's field placements to lyon is the first test were a sign of his hopelessness. Clark is a "it's all about me" captain whilst pretending it isn't.

Re: India v Australia - test series
this is really indefensible. it's time CA stopped concentrating on making money (Big Bash etc) and actually concentrated on developing cricket!!!! although I understand its a cycle -> money can be provided to development <- but surely they were doing something decent 15-20 years ago.
