AUSTRALIA vs ENGLAND, 1998/1999 1st ASHES TEST PT 1

[Gramscifreedom]

lol no change in the Atherton v McGrath battle then.

[TheSinnical]

Michael Atherton & Robin "Judge" Smith are, very underrated batsmen of 90s....while "Athers" was a classical English batsman who could grind down a fierce attack (& also unleash some textbook strokes), "Judge" was one of best players of quick bowling but poor against spin...

@orgillmathew:

dude why use such language? this is just cricket...& Aussies have been the best team since so long (though their bad behavior sucks at time)

@Sanath

that Greenidge 226 was vs AUS of 1991 tour

[aiser009]

is warnie commentating

[englandwc06]

Mullaly really did bowl brillantly there although that was probably the best he ever became for England after that it was quite downhill

[filoboy88]

athers didnt go too badly actually against those guys i do recall a few good knocks in pakistan and in the carribean but he just didnt have the mettle to match it with the aussies

[Arrested101]

Agreed! Although he notched up the occasional 100 against the Aussies, he seemed uncomfortable playing their bowlers, especially McGrath. However, against most other teams, Athers was a good, solid opening batsman

[filoboy88]

poor athers if it wasnt for mcgrath and warne he probably would have been englands greatest batsman

[ludocrat]

lol, yeah - and Pollock and Walsh and Ambrose and Younis and Akram (and so on). Not one of my heroes, frankly.

Btw, Damian Fleming got a ton when he played half a season for 'my' club in England in 1990. It was one hell of a knock from the scariest fast bowler I'd ever seen! He was a bit quicker then too, than when he played tests after injury and a remodeled action. A really nice, genuine person, too :)

[StFidjnr]

the hands on the stumps one that gets the poms a bit stumped

[poodags1]

ahh the slog sweep
