Indeed Trev, and that's all that really matters.
At the risk of speaking heresy, that's actually bullshit.

Sure, I rate the Ashes as the most important, but winning other series does matter.

From alot posted on here you'd not be mistaken to think that some would be happy to lose every Test against other countries if it meant winning the Ashes.

Word.

And that including a series where he left his head in the rooms in the bootom of his kit bag.

And only the eight time it's happened. Though he's only the fifth bowler to do it. Who were the other four?

If you're talking about 50 wickets/ 500 runs I think the others are Pollock, Freddie, Botham, Kapil, Vettori and Mankad (if you included actual runs scored in a year rather than in matches started in a year).

Yeah I was. Botham, Hadlee and Kapil did it twice and Vettori once. And I'm talking calendar year.

50 wickets/500 runs in a year double is listed in the match thread, mid-late day 4.

Sorry. Only popping in in between fishing trips. The one good thing of which is only having to listen to the ABC in between beers and way out of mobile range.

MJ today named as the recipient - for the second year in a row - of the McGilvray Medal as the ABC Test Cricketer of the Year.

Jonno's bowling a lot like Oz in the last two years

Occasionally brilliant
Occasionally lucky
Most of the time wayward and lacking in technique and all too ready to blame mum when things dont go right

A fair analogy, A. Cool

It's the Johnson cycle. Not sure where he'll be in 2015, back at ebb tide perhaps.
