nah mate. it was his first ball in an ashes test.

he made his debut against india earlier in sydney.

he bowled pies for a whole game if i remember correctly, but i reckon the experience of being carted first up would've benefited the fat cvnt no end. prolly made him work harder than if he got a 5for first up.

heh. well that doesn't take away from the tool factor brett lee posseses.

he's just too full of sh*t to endear himself to me.

anyone who does cartwheels after getting harmison out would have to be a tool.

he's had a few swashbuckling innings. Batters who piss me off with exessive blocking are john crawley and rahul dravid.

well as a cricket purist i'd have to say dravid is great to watch.

classy test batsmen with the perfect defensive and front foot technique. doesn't play the pull shot enough for my liking though

Steve and Mark Waugh, Ricky Ponting, and Adam Gilchrist.

For those of you who are criticising Shane Warne by reflecting on his personal life, don't you think that the most important thing in a cricketer is to perform well on the field? I think Warney does that.

Don't get me wrong, I do not agree to what he allegedly did was correct, and I am not going to be on any side on these allegations. I agree that a good cricketer should also be a good role model. But fair dinkum, shouldn't we all stay away from his personal life and give him back his privacy?

Cheerio
