I agree

Climb as much as you want..but remember you have to come down

* shine remembers Calcutta Test

So next time the Aussies win will we (FINALLY) get to actually take home the Ashes? Or will it always stay in Pommy land?

Good game guys! About time you beat us!!!!!

TBH England didn't win it, Australia lost it no offence...

It took Hayden 10 innings to find out how to play and change his game

Warne made more runs than Martyn and Gilchrist (so why wasn't Martyn dropped?)

Ponting is an effing hopeless captain...i mean come on how many times did he stuff up in the series? It was deplauable.

It took the selectors how many one day internationals and test matches to drop Gillespie? how many? you tell me, because i lost count

Katitch only played one good innings for the entire series? So why wasn't he dropped?

It was unfortunate that Mcgrath was only fit for one test match (the first)

The only people who can hold their heads up high are Langer and Warne They were the only 2 who had their heads screwed on throughout the entire series

Now i'm not taking anything away from England, they had a great series. But come on, what i said above was rediculous. And even if it was the England coaching staff and the players who set up the strategies to get Australia out, why couldn't the Australian players figure out what they were doing and change their game?

I mean how many matches does it take for a player to be out of form and get dropped? :\ The selectors are weak

YEAH you are right. But remember every team/player/captain has to go through a bad patch.. you cant be no.1 everyday. Remember West Indies. They were like Aussies in late 70's.

Ausies are not using one of their main weapons now a days - 'Sledging' . That could make a difference.

Finally!

Bring Steve Waugh back as Coach @ Setve

Of course, but i mean when so many people are playing bad, you gotta give other people a chance...thats why I dislike the Australian selectors. They have young guys down here, playing so well, for example Cameron White (who can bat and bowl fast spin like Shahid Afridi). They were going on about how they needed another spinner? Well take out Katitch or Martyn and play him!

Jason Gillespie was the first person dropped due to bad form since Micheal Slater for crying out loud!

What are they for? They're job is to select a team that will win and obviousely they aren't doing their jobs

i like cricket (who doesnt here??)
ours is a cricketing nation, India.
hope they start winning again.

YES OMG

Martyn has been dropped for the up coming Super Series Test (Australia Vs The World)

FINALLY they swing the axe

Hayden has also been put on notice =O

I don't know why Katich wasn't put on notice

Australia better find another quality fast bowler soon...because Tait and Lee just can't play in the same side together. ESPECIALLY the one dayers. Kasprowicz just doesn't cut the mustard and Gillespie is finished.

Bring back Warne for the one dayers Hogg sux ¬¬


Edit:

Hayden was dropped from the one day internationals and is playing the tests
Martyn was dropped from the tests and is playing the one day internationals

James Hopes (all rounder)
Nathan Bracken (Left Arm Around the wicket Fast Bowler)
Shane Watson (all arounder)
Stuart Macgill (leg spinner)
Brad Hodge (batsman)

Have all been added to the squad to take on The World. Alot of young talent in there, lets hope they show us their best

O_o Warne is the reason why Australia was so strong for so many years. He's the reason why we didn't loose the Ashes 0 - 5. Putting his private life aside, he's probably one of the best cricketers you'll ever see play the game. It has nothing to do with the game he plays.
