I remember listening to the ABC radio and understandably most of the commentators didn't know much about Loye at that point and the English guest commentator was telling them that he slog sweeps fast bowlers sometimes, Jim Maxwell said something like "well he might have a go against Mcgrath or Bracken but he'd be pretty brave to take on Brett Lee like that" next ball BANG! Fantastic stuff.
Would of been great to see more of this, would love to see him do this to Shoaib, next ball would beam I reckon ;) Seriously though, sweeping any pace bowler like that is ridiculous, your not supposed to sweep against seam bowlers! Nether mind Brett Lee, one of the quickest in the world. Awesome and very brave.
Loye hit Mcgrath,Lee,Johnson & Bond for a six.All of them were in the same fashion of sweep.If he hits once,it can be luck.But he hit 4 different quality bowlers of genuine pace.His sweep shot of Johnson & bond went miles far.he should have been given few more chances in one day & T20.
Bit unfair how Loye was dropped in that Tourament he would of got his first fifty if Bell didnt run him out. Deserved more chances to prove himeself he was a top call opener with great aggresive shots. Just what we need really escpically in the one day game
im not english can someone tell me what happened to mal loye?

If u have a good look , he doesn't actually "smash" the ball , rather helps it on it's way using Lee's pace.

why did England drop him!!! Inconsistencies are bound to occur with such players, but the gains would be so great
