Clarke is seen to be the next "King".

Far from it. He will not be "the great man cometh" he will be a good solid batsman in years to come.

There are alot more better young cricketers than him in Australia not to mention around the world.

Michelle Clarke = Overrated.
Ian Bell = Better.

Yes and no.


Bell = Great man cometh
Clarke = Great women departeth.
What has Bell done to impress you? I'm not defending Clarke or anything but seriously what the hell has he done?

What has Ian Bell done, he has cheated in his last match, and beat up on Bangladesh. Fantastic
Michael Clarke, scored 151 on debut in India, won the Alan Border Medal amd sh*ts on Bell.
Clarke= future star going through a rough patch
Bell= cheating Pommy ****************, with no future except against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe
in summary Clarke>>>>>>>>>>>>Bell

Who is Clarke playing for these days? NSW i think? Is he still playing for his state or what?
 
Why not compare the possible actual teams?

Trescothick < Hayden
Strauss > Langer
Vaughan < Ponting
Bell < Hodge
Pietersen = Hussey
Flintoff > Watson
G.Jones < Gilchrist
Giles < Warne
S.Jones > Lee
Hoggard < Tait/McGill
Harmison < McGrath

Pieterson vs Hussey is very interesting. Hussey has made a tone already, Pieterson is a great player, they are deadlocked in my opinion because of husseys superior domestic record.

Jones vs Lee Very close, i have never rated Lee, but Lee is on the rise again. Jones's superior ashes battle gets him this.

Harmison vs McGrath You cant even begin to compare these two after witnessing what McGrath did to WI, WXI and ENG, best quick of the last 15 years.

Hoggard vs Tait/McGill Tait gets this because of his domestic stats, Hoggard would not be able to play in the Australia domestic scene and able to get these kinds of wickets. McGill would've gone down as a great Australian bowler if not for the existence of Shane Warne, 3rd best spinner in the world.

The others speak for themselves.

Australia wins 7 - 3

A fairer comparison would be

Trescothick > Hayden
Strauss > Langer
Vaughan > Ponting
Bell <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hodge
Pietersen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hussey
Flintoff >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Symonds
G.Jones > Gilchrist
Giles <<< Warne
S.Jones > Lee
Hoggard > MacGill
Harmison > McGrath

9-2 Englands way
When we see that line, we realise you are either taking the p*** or you are a complete madman.

More realistic than some other comparisons

Geez, Australia wins 7-3 on 1 comparison yet we kicked Australias ass in the Ashes?

Pietersen ********s on Hussey, ******** domestic records. Husseys Australian domestic record is nothing spectacular

Tait > Hoggard? Oh go and get ********ed
No where near as bad as saying Jones is better than Gilchrist.

just a side note, but currently australia have 5 batsmen that average over 50 in test cricket : ponting, hayden, gilchrist, hussey and hodge.

england have none.

now thats music to my ears ;)

would like to hear eddie's thoughts or should i say excuses on this one :D

The difference with England and Australia, ponting, hayden, gilchrist may average 50 but proved average when it came to a little pressure. Perhaps the only thing bigger than their average is their ego. What is Gilchrist's average for this year? It would be struggling reach over 25 I bet. Now that is one player who should be slung out the side until he picks up his form. batting is crap and behind the wickets is terrible as well these days.

Another blind and biased Aussie

Funny how our side is so much ********ter yet we still beat Australia with ease

With ease, was it? We belted you in one game and you beat us by about 4 wickets chasing 130 odd in the next, and then the second test match had about 3 runs in it. Therefore, both your victories could have gone either way. I would hardly say you won with ease. You were a one series wonder and are being shown up in Pakistan at the moment where you have lost the series with ease.

ease? you are kidding urself arent you. bwhahahahaha. 2-1, your 2 wins were of the minimum.
look at the changes mate. IN: MacGill, Hussey, Hodge, Bracken, Symonds; OUT: Kasprowicz, Gillespie, Clarke, Katich, Martyn.

You are a fool if you think the Aussies are declining. England in that time have brought in a dud spinner - Udal, 36 yrs and can't even get wkts in Pakistan...oh dear. Giles - how does he get a game? And Collingwood in your squad and first test side :eek: not to mention Bell getting a regular game. Wake up and smell the roses eddie my friend. :thumbsu:

MacGill, Bracken and Symonds wont worry England

Oh no, Australia is improving, their only 2 bowlers are in their mid 30's but improving :rolleyes:

In the last 4 matches at no point did I ever think we would lose

I dont give a ******** if you win a test by 2 runs or an innings, a win is a win and we have the Ashes

We'll see mate, if you can't handle Pakistan, there's no hope you'll handle the Aussies attack next summer.
Oh yeah - Pieterson - can't hack it in the sub continent :D

The great Aussie side of the last 5 years couldnt hack it on the sub continent either untill they got lucky last year. Still failed on your first trip over there and refused to go to Pakistan at all
 
hang on eddie, we beat the paki's the last two series over there and we beat sri lanka and beat india so shut up mate, cos england have done nothing compared to us. you've got nothing mate, so just agree that england arent and never will be as good as the aussies.

How do you know they never will be? What if some guy turns up and gets a double century each game, and another turns up and gets about three wickets per over? They could be as good as Australia one day, just they aren't atm.
