agree

Right now I seriously hope Warnie does come out of retirement for the Ashes. It's one thing to lose to SA but to lose to the poms (again) "I'd have to kill myself and I dont wanna do that!"

Where possible I agree with that ... Was interesting talking to a couple of mates about the era when AB lead a lot of the youngsters around 20-odd years ago ... Sure they copped a few hidings at first, but it was great watching them all develop and flourish next to a few re-cycled players, was perhaps the most exciting time Ive witnessed in cricket.

Then of course once they became good they stayed good for a long time to come (granted there were a number of once in a generation or lifetime types in that lot)

we wanna rebuild, yet bring back warnie?

We need to rebuild and are in the process of doing so but all bets are off against the poms. Give Warnie a call a week out from the first Test, put a blank cheque in his hand and let him do his thing. Even in the IPL more than a year out of the game he showed he still had it. He'll get another IPL season into him yet and about a month after that ends the Ashes start. If he hadn't played since early '07 different story.

No one is suggesting he would be the Warnie of old but he'd still be twice as good as anything else we've got.

No team could ever cover the retirement of

The shiek of tweek" and oooh Ahh Glen McGrath

Why not bring DK and Thommo back as out fast bowling stocks are low.

Please,bring back Warnie my arse.If we do that it will be a massive step backwards for cricket in Australia IMO.

What sort of message would that send the next,even the next 2 generations of budding spin bowlers?

Take our medicine and work back to the top like we should.

That they're sh1t and need to lift their game.

This is an exciting time for cricket in Australia. We have been dominant for almost 20 years (before that we were complaining about the windies) and now we are at a stage were a young bloke can get a game and prove himself at international level, very much like the late 80's when this dynasty of Australian dominance started.

The message would be that they had their chance but didn't take it when the spot was there for the taking.
