The big five watch

I suppose Harbi, Zaheer and Sehwag might be a big three in 5 years time.

Unless you have cash.

Australia has had two major bulk retirements in the last decades. eg Chappell Lillee Marsh. That one with a ceratain amount of celebration. Chappell has since stated how foolish that was.
Now we've done it again mistakingly not blooding replacements mistakingly again thinking we had them.
Well the truth is we don't have a Warne Mcgrath Gilchrist replacement just yet.

I blame the IPL.

Gilchrist irreplaceable as a keeper/batsman, but not irreplaceable as either

McGrath can be replaced, eventually, maybe, doubt it though

Warnie, IRREPLACEABLE

And my point was that the way the BCCI carries on they'll drop all of them and say "Hey guys, come play hit and giggle and get 10%"
