The Aus A batting lineup
Hayden
Blewett
Ponting
Bevan
Langer

Allan Donald has entered the chat.they don’t make them like him anymore.
I know Johnson had some surliness about him at times but I think everyone knew he was a fairly gentle guy. Starc is about as imposing as a male nurse.
Anderson is a cranky c*** but he’s slow and can’t hurt you. Morkel was gentle. Steyn was angry and fast I guess but also gave lots of interviews and seemed a pretty fun guy.
the closest I can think of to Ambrose’s kind of menacing mystery is maybe Shannon Gabriel - fast and always scowling, but his distinct lack of Ambrose’s considerable skill keeps him down a few rungs

His war paint really completed the look.Yeah Donald was fairly intimidating
He was an ABC News yesterday morning taking about skin cancers, he's a farmer now and only looks marginally older than when he played for Australia.haha Peter Who? Peter Taylor there's a blast form the past, a name I haven't heard in over 25 years!
I wish we could watch 1977 to 1979 kerrie Packer cricket With Garth Le Roux and DK in same gameThis post is a bit confusing, World Series Cricket refers to the unofficial cricket matches organised by Kerry Packer from 1997 to 1979, it would be great to watch them again.
I think this is a bit of a myth. After Dean Jones died I was watching a lot of the footage from that test and couldn't see any where Mathews was wearing a sweater though he was certainly daft enough to have done something like that. And I'd like to have seen Hawkeye and Snicko on that last wicket! Ump did himself a mischief getting the finger up so quick.he bowled the entire 1986 tied test with a f-**ing sweater on during conditions that nearly killed dean jones!
True on all counts: here's the last over. No jumper.I think this is a bit of a myth.

True , as someone whose first taste of cricket, was World Series Cricket it does sound strange when someone that did not see it calls other games after WSC cricket as World Series Cricket too. I think the confusing comes about because after the WSG cricket ended in 1979, the Australian Cricket Board called the limited overs series games here, the World Series Cup series so some of the branding of WSC cricket that Packer created for his own cricket seasons at channel 9 in late 70's got used for the a few more years by the cricket board here as it was too sexy and successful to ignore and not use at the time.This post is a bit confusing, World Series Cricket refers to the unofficial cricket matches organised by Kerry Packer from 1997 to 1979, it would be great to watch them again.
Kepler bowled nude balls. So did Boony.Kepler Wessels just dropped an absolute sitter off the bat of Viv Richards.
Also LOL at the graphic of Kepler's bowling describing him as 'right arm slow.'
Yeah, still stunned Boon or Wessels ever got to bowl. I think it was an experimental time when some captains still tried to pick a limited overs team with just four bowlers and try to make the other 10 overs up from the batsmen. If Greg Chappell or Allan Border not playing the other batsmen probably could not bowl but someone had to be tried if you were silly enough to not pick a 5th bowler in the 11.Stuart Clark was talking about that during the third Test, he reckoned you'd question the sanity of your captain if you bowled someone like that these days.

I moved house recently and found some old cricket cards from after World Series Cricket ended from early 1980's for the one day series and branding of it still looked very much like the red, black and white colouring of WSC cricket from 1978 and 79.
