TheWorlds top chokers at it again

Greg I dont know if you remember the 92 WC in Australia when in the first match Alan Donald was bowling to Marsh who edged the ball to a wide 2nd slip. He stood his ground and the Aussie umpire said not out. The only Aussie with a semblance of honesty when it came to walking was Gilchrist.

Yes I do remember that CNC, was it not the first ball of the match as well?

I think it was but it still got the Aussies nowhere as we thrashed them by 9 wickets and they did not even reach the semis. Atherton was another one who did not walk. Remember that epic dual with Donald at Trent Bridge when Atherton sneeked to Boucher and the English ump said not out.

Yes, when does SA tour England again? ... I really enjoyed that test series.

Australia 176 all out. Will be having a bet on the Aussies to get Pakistan out for less.

Hahaha... top class CM:)

We can add IAN CHAPEL to the Australian Top Doos List .... He critisizes the top wicket taker in the competition Alfredi for the way he celebrates after taking a wicket... Yet him and his brother were the biggest cheats around when they played..... Remember when they decided to roll the ball down the wicket so they would win the match?

Eshhhh.... you probably taking on the right opposition to have that bet, but I wouldn't fear that Aussie bowling attack these days.... Tate is erratic and they don't have a decent spinner imo ....I wish they finished last in there group so SA could take them on in the quarters....

Why do you hate the Aussies? Give me an Aussie anyday of the week over an Englishman.
