Worst thing is we have a spinner at home (O'Keefe) with a FC bowling average of 29 & a batting average of 30, over several seasons now but we picked two ODI muppets (Doherty & Maxwell instead).
 
Vaughan takes a dig at the Aussies

How the hell do guys like Smith, Doherty, Maxwell play Test cricket, there's something wrong with Aussie selectors :))

After Warne retired they wanted to play a spinner who was just as good as him hence why they tried so many options.
 
Marsh, most English fans loathe Vaughan the commentator while we may have loved Vaughan the batsman.

And besides, England won in those same conditions 2-1, whereas the Aussies are looking set to go down 0-2. And yet when McGrath predicted a 5-0 last Ashes, it was allowed, joked about, and then forgotten.
 
Here is the full exchange which I thought was quite funny and a good one..

Michael Vaughan‏@MichaelVaughan

Come to think of it I will drop off a few new Batsmen as well....

So Tom Moody Reply with this,

Tom Moody‏@TomMoodyCricket

@MichaelVaughan English or Sth African?

Dave Fisher reply to Tom Moody

Dave Fisher‏@DaveFisher3

@TomMoodyCricket @MichaelVaughan how about Portuguese?

and Tom Moody has no answer,

Tom Moody‏@TomMoodyCricket

@DaveFisher3 @michaelvaughan yep give you that one :)
 
I believe Mr Vaughan should drop his new bowlers and new batsmen towards Mrs Vaughan and not try to find excuses to sneak around. Given English women are what they are but Aussies didn't ask for anything.
 
England have every right to mock the Australian team after decades or ruthless humiliation at the hands of the Aussies. They must be loving every minute of this.

People really need to accept the fact that runs are not there in the pitch alone, guys like Pujara, Cook, KP, Clarke have played EXCEPTIONAL cricket in last 2-3 months to get all their runs while players like Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Watson etc all missed out big time because they didn't have the game for it.
Click to expand...

KP,Cook and Clarke have proved themselves in all conditions Pujara shouldn't be mentioned with them.
When was the last time he performed outside of India?
Oh i just forgot, the answer is never.
 
Clarke should really think about having Warne for Ashes. Doesn't matter what the critics say, having warne come out of retirement is no embarrassment. Esp. when you compare it to England whose 2 out of 3 best batsmen are not English.

No I doubt we'll win 5-0. Expect at least one test to be washed out due to the weather. I say 3-1 or 3-0.

what? I dont see England losing a session let alone a test match. The only thing i agree with you is the rain factor. 4-0 England. They cant handle trundler like Ashwin how are they going to deal with the best spinner in the world?

If you mean Swann, I thnk that he and/or Monty will be easier to handle on a seamer in England under leaden skies, than Ashwin on a bunsen.

The Aussie attack will batter our batsmen in a couple of sessions, but I doubt that they will all be able to stand up for the five tests.

i dont think so. The is a good reason why Swann is comfortably the best in the world. He does not rely on a surface as much as other spinners. Just give him a cricket ball and you're fine. Did you see him in South Africa? My god he was outstanding. His average does not show his true numbers. The way he got the ball to turn was the best i've seen since Warne (in SA conditions i.e.). So he will be absolutely fine in England, just dont create the flat Oval pitch that you guys made against SA coz it will suit Australia and make them better than they are. A certain player i know increased his career average by 7 in a year because of them ROADS. But still i have full confidence in Swann. #worldclass

Prone to panic? lolwhut?

And Dhoni is rubbish. Just got lucky in the initial part of his captaincy through the presence of many great players around him.

In short, Hollioake couldn't be more wrong with both halves of his statement there.

How come these Pommie bits and pieces all-rounders who've accomplished zilch in their playing careers pass casual statements on players of other teams, be they loving praise or mindless criticism?

Yet to see the likes of Steve Waugh, Shaun Pollock and Brian Lara, etc. stoop to these pretenders' levels.

Whenever I see your post only one thing comes to mind 'why so serious'? :batman:
 
So I follow a sports journalist,Hassan Cheema on twitter. He is covering the SA series for Dawn. Not only does he writes brilliant insightful articles but also tweets some of the most fascinating stuff about our team.

Some of his tweets I really enjoyed today.

I used to be a big fan of afridi when I was younger than 14. On growing older, i became one of his biggest critics.

But one must understand that afridi was something special 10 years ago, he is no longer the same at present. Worst player to play more than 350 matches, true. But easily more entertaining than the likes of gayle and watson
 
Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
He's gone. One of the great 1-day knocks ever. #Afridi

Ravi Bopara ‏@ravibopara
Shahid Afridi u deserve 12 for that. That is the biggest I've ever seen. Massive!!!
Retweeted by Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
BOOOOOM!!!! Afridi just smashed a 6 out of the ground and into the golf course! This is unbelievable - tune into Sky Ch 403 now.

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
WAIT..... no ball! Afridi's back.......

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
And it's over....what a knock! #Afridi

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
Afridi's just smashed another outrageous 6 - 73n.o. off 41 balls. Astonishing innings.

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
Afridi's nickname is 'BOOM BOOM' in honour of his 6-hitting talents - probably why he's my favourite batsman to watch.

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
Afridi once played for me against my village @NewickCC - smashed 70 off 5 overs, nearly killed a local with his 90mph fast ball, then left.
 
It's easy to be a fan of his batting when you're a neutral. If he goes off, you see some entertaining batting. If he doesn't, your team has just taken another wicket.

Win, win.
 
Piers is a friend of Afridi, not close or anything.

He plays cricket at his local club with his young son and every year he invites a mystery guest for one game. When Afridi was in England he was invited and came to play at the club with Piers. Pietersen was also a guest in one match, smashed a century against the other side lol.
 
Bopara and Maxwell tweet for Afridi.

@MichaelVaughan
Credit where credit is due....
Terrific Effort by Australia to make
the game last 5 days....
 
Take nothing away from Afridi's innings yesterday.

But when it comes to saying anything, Piers Morgan has no idea what he is talking about. The guy is an absolute idiot.

Anyone who has read anything he has to say about Arsenal will know that.

If I were Afridi, I would want nothing to do with him whatsover.

And yeah, while it was an amazing innings....not one of the greatest one day knocks in my book. Innings like the Saeed Anwar 194* belong in that category.

What on earth are you talking about?

Vaughan carried off where Hussain left and took England to new heights.

Regaining the Ashes against a side that had all the Aussie stars sans McGrath isn't a feat you just forget about. He was one of the most inventive captains in the last decade.

Can anyone confirm it is Raza hasan account
