any pakistani who doesnt like it should be banished from the country;)
heck,i was too young to see imran at his peak,but who cares.i still love him,and i mean that in a totally non-homosexual way:D
very true, and same goes for me, missed his magic. And even if it was homosexual, I wouldn't care in this perticular case. Him and his boys won us the cup :touched:

:p

i think Ponting has offically taken the mantle from the great tendulkar as the worlds best batsman! 3rd time in his career he made 2 hundreds in a test! his in unbeleiveble form!
australia made it 2-0 nil v south africa by the way thanks for Neg rep no hard feelings !
Warne takes Australia to series victory
Australia 369 and 307 for 4 dec (Ponting 116, Hayden 102) beat South Africa 267 and 297 (Boucher 51*, Warne 6-86) by 112 runs

Shane Warne dragged Australia to an incredibly narrow victory in their day-long race with bad light as they claimed the Test and the series with minutes to spare. With the umpires conferring regularly and only Warne and Andrew Symonds able to bowl because of the murky conditions, Warne delivered a wrong'un to Makhaya Ntini, he offered no shot, and Billy Doctrove raised his finger to complete Australia's 112-run victory. They almost didn't make it.

Lee and Kasprowicz steal two-wicket thriller

Australia 270 and 294 for 8 (Martyn 101, Lee 24*, Kasprowicz 7*) beat South Africa 303 and 258 by two wickets

Brett Lee and Michael Kasprowicz buried their Ashes nightmares with a 19-run eighth-wicket partnership to secure a gripping victory and earn a 3-0 cleansweep against South Africa. Set 292, Australia rode home with two wickets remaining and Justin Langer gloved up in preparation if either batsmen fell, but he was able to avoid damaging his recovery from a head knock and was needed only for delicate back-slapping.
-----------------------
that makes it a clean sweep of series 3-0 Australia wat can i say we are the best in business but i also give a hand to south africa for making this test a exciting one :agree:!
now we r off to Bangledesh!

England's a good team Woody. Too bad they've been depleted by injuries. I'm very impressed by their test display, they essentially drew us in our backyard with a lesser team. On the one day front, the fight is less evident because they dont have the kind of resources for the tighter format. At full strength, I'd say, they're the dark horse come WI'07.

You know what they say. Form is temporary, class is permanent. Tendulkar will be back, up until that time Ponting can muster all the praise he likes, he himself perhaps knows he'll never be as great as Tendulkar when people look back 100 years from now.

am i the only one who thinks that the indian team's batting backbone will retire at the same time?
im talking about tendulkar and dravid.they're both almost as old as each other.and if im not wrong,they'd probably retire at the same time.sachin might hang his boots earlier because of the toll his body has taken.im not seeing any replacements for them currently.that can be a potential problem come retirement age.

no not really...as u must have noticed sachin has not really contributed to the recent couple of series....like he rarely performed in this england's tour ,both in tests and ODI's .....

but when dravid retires it will be leaving a big hole in the batting line up...but with the emergence of raina the batting woes r somewhat solved...kaif is going tru a bad patch but he will recover soon...so i don't think there r any worries..

just look at this batting line up and say if its not strong..

1.sehwag
2.gambhir
3.pathan...yeah he has become an established no 3 :p blame chapello :D
4. yuvraj
5.kaif
6.raina
7.dhoni
8. agarkar

so there is plenty of depth in there...and i hope the young guys will take the responsibility after sachin and draid r gone..

to be honest,gambhir hasnt impressed me too much.there was this guy called rathore something i think.he opened the innings with sehwag when india drew 1-1 in australia.i liked his technique though he was awfully defensive.if im not wrong,him and sehwag were opening parnters at club level too.

yuvraj looks very promising though.im certain he'll be india's most reliable batsman when dravid and sachin call it a day.he seems to have the attributes of a future captain too.he took some while in get going,but he's certainly doing great now.

i somehow dont see the point of using pathan so high up in the order.he's still young,and yet he's having so much pressure on his shoulders due to his batting responsiblities.his pace has dropped too,which is sad i guess.he's a pretty talented lad.screw batting,let him bowl in peace.:D
