In the era of Warne, McGrath and Langer

As I read about the adieu of two fine bowlers and one wall-like batsman, I can’t but feel the pinch.

It was wonderful watching these men play for their baggy-green. Everytime they took to field, you expect nothing but the best out of them. Without taking too much to statistics, I’d honour and respect these men for what they contributed to the game of cricket- spirit, competition, class, discipline, friendliness, skill and roaring crowds.

It doesn’t take much more for any game to become popular than what these Ozzies gave. Their greatness makes me proud too, for I can tell about the cricketing greats to the following generations. Just like how I hear of Sunny Gavaskar, Malcom Marshall, Jeff Thompsom and Dennis L.

Thanks for playing your hearts out; mates. Every ball bowled spun us dreams and every run scored put us on the edge.
