Well it has gone on for a year I understand what your saying but I think if it was temporary it would've been resolved by now.

Re: Are Australia still number 1 ?
Once we get Brett Lee back into form and Stuart Clark back from injury, we'll have a pretty deadly bowling attack in:
Lee
Johnson
Clark
Siddle
Some shithouse spinner
We've struggled to get 20 wickets recently, so once we get our bowling team firing again, we'll be hard to beat. We won't be as dominant as our McGrath / Warne days but we'll probably be the team to beat again.
Now we just have to replace Hayden and find a decent all-rounder and we're good.

I think we need to drop this idea of needing an all rounder to be honest, McDonalds selection was abit of a joke. would of been way better off picking another batsman and picking a few part timers.

Yeah I totally agree.
If there is no decent domestic all rounder who isn't injured then there is no point picking one.

Re: Are Australia still number 1 ?
Why don't we pick 9 full-time batsmen, 2 awesome and super fit bowlers, make one of the batsmen wicket-keep, and have 3 part timers to fulfill the bowling duties...
It's crazy enough to work, and everyone can stop complaining about North, Rogers, Klinger, Hughes and D. Hussey missing out.

Re: Are Australia still number 1 ?
and with the first 5 batsmen being openers, they'll have no problem taking the shine off the new ball for the rest of the team
