Indeed. Perhaps when England is able to dominate cricket for as long as the Australians then just maybe they'll be recognized as the world champions. It is going to take far more than a single ashes win, (your first in 18 attempts) to "put Australia in their place" as you say.

The fact of the matter is Australia has earned their place on the top. We have consistenly dominated the sport year after year by beating the best sides in the game. Were it the other way around, then the World XI would be facing off against England right now.

I just think it's absurd the way you guys are bashing the Australians for losing the ashes. We lose ONE series and suddenly it's all doom and gloom for us. lol Get over yourselves. You have my most sincere congratulations on your win, but It is hardly cause for a swollen head OR to put down the aussies.

The rivaly between these two sides is just plain ridiculous at times.

Why shouldn't they be? The Aussies are the best team in the game today. I'm not sure if it's the national sport of Australia.

Yes, it is the nationally recognized sport of Australia.

what a shame world xi has blown away by Aussies....Australia is the best team in the world but this type of dominance is not good for cricket it self....

This should have been tight contest than just single sided....Current score is 120/8

In my opinion there are only two sides in the world who can beat Aussies when at full strength and playing well. England and India in India......

Oh and I think this world xi thing is a failure they did not played as a unit.

I wish that were always true. Australia did win against India in India last time around. Though we always give them a good contest. We nearly beat them in Oz in 2003 (sigh).

I think it's too soon to describe the World XI as a failure. There wasn't enough time for them to gel as a team, let alone play as a team against the best team in the world.

Pathetic by the World XI, I expected a better fight than that!

I thought the World XI would put up a much tougher fight.

Cricket is our biggest International sport.

Dont know if AFL is bigger then Cricket though.

I say if your good, your good but no one is perfect.

Read my post carefully. When the two teams are playing full....

Yes Australia did beat India in India last time BUT one test was a washout in Madras where I think India would have won and second they weren't playing there best cricket India that is there were dispute in the team and remember Harbhjan singh came out in the media at that time and said 'one has to play from the heart' and he was having a go at his team mates. And the next test at Bomaby was a classic and India beat them....

I think a team can loose 3 games and not be considered "on the down". As for dropping players, thats natural and when you have the strength on the sideline that we do then we can afford to kick a player or two. The teams hardly changed in the past 12 months. Infact the ability to interchange players is a strength in a team...its certainly not a weakness.

Awesome point, too bad that isnt true. Compare Australia's current bench strength to the one 2 years back. If some people might actually remember Australia had to use a "rotation policy". It is clear now that the awesome bench stength that Australia boasted of doesnt exist anymore. If it existed then Australia may not have thought a billion times about dropping Hayden in the Ashes. :rofl: :happy:

We loose ONE series and you all think we are on the down. Seriously England didnt smash us in the Ashes as much as you would have yourselves believe. You won and congrats but 3 of the games came down to the wire, another we won, it was hardly what I would call a dominating performance.

England "smashed" Australia in the Ashes. Yes they came down to the wire, but look how many days/sessions England dominated. Australian performance was really really sub-par even by Bangladesh's standards (remember that game? :rofl: ). More than 20 catches dropped, 5-6 wickets on no-balls, 60-70 wickets lost because of poor shots etc. Just look up the stats. Australians blaming substitutes, umpires, whine, whine .. :laugh: It simply wasnt as "competitive" as you think.

I just think it's absurd the way you guys are bashing the Australians for losing the ashes. We lose ONE series and suddenly it's all doom and gloom for us. lol Get over yourselves. You have my most sincere congratulations on your win, but It is hardly cause for a swollen head OR to put down the aussies.

I bash the Australian team because I think they deserve it. They were my fav team until their success got to their heads. I never support any player/team who has an air about themselves.

Unless Australia starts winning consistently world-wide again, the question marks remain. (Or if you find replacements for McGrath & Warne :woot: )

Oh and I think this world xi thing is a failure they did not played as a unit.

Yep, they should have scheduled practice matches against local teams just like they do for a regular series.

That may be true, but in the end, it's the result that counts.

Anyways, yes the last match in Bombay ws a classic. It was so much fun to hear the hue and cry the Aussies raised (especially Ricky Ponting), unplayability of the pitch and all that. Harbhajan's performance was awesome.

Do you think the Ashes series or the Border-Gavaskar series is better? I can't wait for the next time around.

I luv watching any series with Australia in it, because they are so pure in their cricket and towards the fans is well....

Every player wears his heart on his baggy green and I luv that pride....Something Indians don't do....

Which series I luv than it has to be border-gavaskar series only because the amount of skill levels and pure cricket these two teams produce.....

For the ashes it was a one way traffic for 18 years.....now the second series in 18months time will give us idea....

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
