FFS.

It might have worked for the WIndies way back when, but they had batsmen who could deliver the goods, and bowlers who could put the ball in the right place.

I may be wrong, but I fear that employing 'bully-boy' tactics will only work against minnows.

Hauritz has clearly been shagging one of the NSP's relatives...

Shagging? Quite possibly buggering, by the sounds of it.

I think Christian may have done a hammy in the Big Bash game last night

Ferguson gave a different meaning to 'facing the bowling' in the only ball he was involved in for the game

The $900 000 hammy?

Sometimes I think it is a better option than spin. SA has pretty good test results there with no great spinners. Of course ODI's might be different.

Slow over-rates wont allow Aus to do it anyway.

All-out pace? Lee and Tait? All-out dross, more like ...

INJURIES to valuable support bowlers could prompt Australia to pin their hopes for a fourth consecutive World Cup title on the enigmatic pace trio of Shaun Tait, Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson.

We may as well not even turn up.
