Two Big guns goin down da memory lane...

Jus read da news in pprs dat da two biggies of Austrailian Cricket - Shane warne & Glen McGrath. These two guys have played a very important role in shaping up da foundation of so very dreaded Austrailian Team. Cricket Austrailia may not require these guys ne more but they wer da stepping stones for da Austarilian prowess.

After bowling Australia to Ashes victory over England, leg-spinner Shane Warne and fast bowler Glen McGrath could announce retirement after the end of the series, reports here said Wednesday.

Cricket will suffer for the imminent departure of Warne as said by the cricketing gr8 Sir Richard Hadlee. Absoulutely perfect for those of u who think he is jus another player. Jus chk dis out. Shane Keith Warne (born September 13, 1969 Victoria, Austrailia). He is a well recognized as the greatest leg spin bowler in cricket history. Warne made his first class cricket debut on 15 February 1991, taking 0/61 and 1/41 for Victoria against Western Austrailia at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.

On December 20th 2006, it was announced that Warne would hold a press conference on December 21st 2006 concerning his retirement from test cricket after the conclusion of the 2006 Ashes Series between Austrailia and England. In the press conference, Warne said that it was his intention to "go out on top". He said that he might have retired after the 2005 Ashes series, had Australia won. And now as Austrailia are already in lead with 3-0 he is almost sure to retire.Warne has 699 wickets from 143 Test and is poised to become the first to reach the once-unimaginable 700 mark when the fourth Ashes test starts in his hometown of Melbourne Tuesday.

McGrath is third on the all-time list of wicket-takers behind Warne and Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan -, but with 555 victims from 122 matches, he is the leading fast bowler. The 36-year-old fast bowler has been troubled by injuries in the past few seasons and took 10 months off to care for his ill wife and came back in the Champions Trophy in India.

Even if Cricket Austarilia keeps on churning new players everyday, no one can replace these 2 playing icons. Damien Martyn has also announced his retirement after da first test. This is gonna be a big setback for Austarilia. Still they will have these players not playing but in their thinking tank.

When i first heard bout Warne's retirement i got so emotional dat i cud nt saw d news again.
Being die hard fan of Aussie Cricket if i felt dat much den hw much cricket wud b feelin!!!!!!!!...

Warne who startd his career at MCC n wat a poetic justice it will b when he wil tek 700th test wickt of his career on the sem MCC ground.

Picking up 700 wckts n an international cricket s not d thing th@ u wil get it n d park evryde.
Its a special owner being only person 2 tek 700.A person who made fun of al d batsmans n d world by spinnin d bowl whiever way he wants 4 al his life, bt der r sum who tuk shit out of SHANE lik our Master Sachin
Lara n nowdes K Peiterson(The ugly Boy). With growin bowlin affluence had came growin desire, aspire 2 tek more n more wckts. Th@'s wat d attitude one mus follow even n normal lif.
While,lookin through his career his best bowl wil still b when he bamboozld d gr8 GOOCH frm bhind his legs.
The most annoyin moment of his life came, when he testd positive 4 drugs on d eve of 2003 crickt world cup nd LEGEND was bannd 4 a whole year.

Thinkin bout Cricket Australia, d gap creatd by Mcgrath n Warne's retirement wil b fild n cumin generations. Hey pals m talkin bout generations nt yrs!!!!!!!
On d eve of Warne's retirment hw cn Sachin will b quiet evenif he s n d other Hemisphere. Master said "its unfortunate 2 lose d bowler of Warne's qulity". It is not only a Cricket Australia's loss bt d Cricket's LOSS too.
Neways too much of writin s nt my habbit. So if u wanna say one liner 4 WARNE den here it goes:

"A LEGEND CAN ONLY B ADMIRED BY AN APOLOGY".......................
