What odds did you get for 5-0 good luck with it!!!!!
Decies, i got odds of 12-1 2 weeks before the start of th ashes. I was expecting better odds that that tbh, but that seemed the standard rate across most bookies at the time.
Australia's dominance of world cricket looks to be over at the end of this Ashes campaign.
With the retirement of Damien Martyn,Shane Warne,Glenn McGrath and now Justin Langer.
You would of thought that they would of had crickets best interests at heart than all to retire in the one year.Certainly they owe cricket for everything they have got out of the sport .
And Cricket Australia should of been doing everything possible to avoid this happening ,after what happened to the Australian cricket team when those other legends retired (Rod Marsh,Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee).It took a lot of years to get back to the top .
Cricket Australia tapped Steve and Mark Waugh on the shoulder and pushed them into early retirement ,maybe they should of started to do that last year with some players .
Oh well i guess they have there reasons for leaving the game ,BUT they should of thought of the repercussions.
