Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

While I agree about the abilities of Richards, Ponting, Greenidge and the likes, I don't agree about Wagner and McGrath being significantly different.

Ignoring the bowling length differences, their speed and modus operandi are basically the same, they fast-medium bowl the batsmen into a coma then wake them up and send them off with a tickle while the batsmen are still half-asleep!

Warne and McGrath is tandem specialised in this tactic, and they both benefited greatly from the consistent and complimentary approach.

Dont see McGrath fist tapping the batsman and saying well done on hitting me for three fours in an over like Wagner did to Wade.
The Kiwis are all over being loved and playing the game in the right spirit but have overdone it and Wagner should save the niceties
for when the test series is over.
Warne and McGrath are in a different universe to Wagner and the other Kiwi pretenders.....test cricket is in a bad way if the Kiwis are the 2nd best team in the world and Wagner the 2nd best bowler IMHO.
