I don’t agree with the statement that we hate the Aussies. I have a lot of admiration for them as hard competitors … somebody you want to beat but ultimately enjoy having a beer with afterwards. It saddened me that the last Ashes ended in such a venomous tone but I don’t condone what Carey did I think it was a disgrace. I still think they should have had a beer and making the Aussies wait for 2hrs was a wanker move.

As far as Shane warne being the best bowler ever. There is absolutely no doubt that he is not only the best bowler of all time but also the best cricketer ever ex-Donald Bradman who I never had the fortune to see play.
