100% well put .....
I can't sit here and listen to people compare the pre rebellion era to the after. Carlisle scored a test hundred and an ODI hundred against Australia in Australia ( plus another ODI hundred v India in Australia & 1 against Aus A ). The current mob including BRMT haven't even toured Australia!!!!
The old brigade toured Pakistan and had to face Waqar, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Aktar etc and won !!!!
The current mob got bowled out by Afghanistan for 54 @ home .....
The 99 WC side beat India, South Africa & qualified for the super sixes, Last World Cup we scraped past UAE and lost again to Ireland .....
