I see what you're saying, and I do think he's anti-Australian quite a bit of the time, but I think that's good for balance in the box. Especially with Lawry being pro-Aussie (and VERY pro-Victorian).

Yeah nah fair call, but what makes me cranky is people talk him up like a god when he has and prob will always struggle with health & consistency, and on top of that really how good is he!? Better than say Symonds? Would he have made the aussie side in the glory days?! :?

Too much is unfairly placed on his shoulders..


Don't go placing things on his shoulders, they might break.

I've just never seen Greig as being relevant on ch 9 - for balance I'd prefer someone from the opposition country, such as Ravi Shastri, Barry Richards (or Wessells, maybe Haysman - not sure who he actually barracks for though!), Michael Holding, Boycott, or Ian Smith (although his accent does grate).

Mike Haysman is pretty top notch from what I've heard. I also like David Gower and Mike Atherton too.

I'm not really suprised at low crowds - it's getting too expensive, most days are usually on a working day and it's just too hard to afford to take that time off to go

They should've got Charles & Camilla to go, that would've packed the Gabba, they could've worked it around her running in the 5th at Flemington.

I put money on Clarke to get the highest score for the Aussie's, Cowan's making me sweat though.
