Australia retains number one ........Shows Aussie Got talent

Before I start let me salute...Greame Smith (not for winning series in Australia) but for unseen bravery every in the cricket field. He came out to bat injured at 11 , literally playing with one hand and nearly save the test.

So Australia wins last test, and that should settle the argument for some month as Australia still are number 1. Had Australia not lost those key moments in the series they would have been 3-0 up. But this is still a younger Australian team and much more and in time they will start winning again.

It should be taken in mind the Australian pace attack has been one of the best bowler in Stuart Clark for sometime. Brett lee is also injured. We all know Micheal Jhonson has been one of the top bowlers in the world. Shaun Tait probably fastest man on the earth will be back soon. But then they have unearthed another gem of the fast bowler in
Peter Siddle.  Only in his 4th test match he looked a daunting prospect with the moving ball.




Another bowler who may not have done much but he will certainly do a lot more is Doug Bollinger. Boy is he fast? Not to forget Andrew McDonald who can be a handy all rounder.



I never wrote off Aussies by saying South Africa will be number 1 for a very long long time, but what I didn't expected is the back up cricketer that Australia had. And with what I have seen they are pretty much capable of  dominating again. Credit to Aussies Superb infrastructure they will very soon find all the replacement.  I believe now next sereis starting soon in South Africa , Between Australia and SA will be even better to watch. Probably that will decide the number 1 team in the world. Till then fingers crossed. Fascinating contest awaits.

By the way England in Turmoil. Both england coach morries and Captain Kavin Peterson resigns.
