He's better than Michelle Johnson or Mitchell as you may know him as.
This is why Mitchell Marsh is rubbish as well, people called Mitchell just can't play cricket.
I do love reading these postings. To sum up, when Australia were winning they beat teams of quality, now England are winning the the other teams are rubbish.

England just lost 3-0 didn't they?
No, hopefor, it's a case of don't just do things once and think you're a force, do it a number of times, then talk!

=============================
I thought we were leading 2-0.
Duncan when was the last time New Zealand drew a series in England?
when johnson dropped strauss in the 2nd innings at brisbane i yelled out "oi johnson, youve just dropped the ashes". he must have heard me cos i really gave it some.
^^ hopefor, I want a pint of whatever it is you have been on the past 30 hrs or so
You really are tring to steal Neons role in that village, aren't you? lmao
When you win over 4 times as many tests as you lose over a period of 10 years then we can start comparing. Until then you can read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
A good example of holding 2 contradictory ideas in your head simultaneously would be something like this:
"England are by far away the best test nation on earth."
"England just lost to the team ranked 5 out of 9, 3-0."
Ok, calm a little down people, you're making Pakistan look like rubbish here...
"Duncan when was the last time New Zealand drew a series in England?"
When was the last time I said Australia were a good test cricket team?
Poor strawman, please try harder.
" Just lost" ?????
We have won a test match in the sub c, and are currently whitewashing the Windies since we just lost. Prior to just losing, you wanna talk about some more of our performances?
I doubt it
Why the obssesion with our 1 series defeat in 3 years?
You could also remind an Aussie fan that England have won 3 of the last 4 ashes series, but that would be unkind.
Facts about today: This English attack is not as good as the Australian attack of McGrath and Co.
But, this English team would wipe the floor with Australia today, and will now continue to win the Ashes, home and away for the next 30 years.
I don't know what we have to do hopefor. Oh well, let's keep winning
Kemar Roach out of WI's tour with injury...
What's he injured Amir, his pride maybe.
No, that is not good news for the windies He has been giving Jonny amongst others a torid time with his chin music and I loved watching him bowl
Oh well, that is 3:0 no matter who we pick now. Not good news this.

bad news.
get well soon fella
Roach has been limping in both games and also against Australia. Not surprised he's out.
"We have won a test match in the sub c, and are currently whitewashing the Windies since we just lost. Prior to just losing, you wanna talk about some more of our performances?"
Uhuh and Australia just spanked that WI team in the Caribbean and Australia actually managed to beat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. You've won 1 test in the sub con in last 5 years (excluding BD) and you are the greatest team on earth?
In 2008 Australia hadn't lost a test series since the 2005 Ashes but I didn't really think that Australia were the greatest cricket team on earth at that point. Quirks of scheduling meant India stayed top of the pile even though they didn't play an series outside of the sub con for 2 years. I didn't believe Aus deserved No.1 ranking in 08-09, India certainly didn't deserve it and I think England deserved to take the ranking but haven't really convinced since that point.
I don't think any team is the best right now, conditions, form, the weather and luck I think contribute as much as the differences in skill between the top 5 teams. I don't think any team has been the undisputed best test team in the world since McGrath, Warne and Langer retired.
Let's put it this way Dunc. You come to England and do to us what we did to you and I will change my user name to - Australia, the worlds greatest test match cricket team
That said, I think we are far better than your last post is suggesting and your boys are in for a torrid time. Anyway, let's leave that banter until nearer the time
With regards to the OPs thread. Were those great Australian bowlers better than the current English ones? Well I have no idea.
I don't see England as a great side but opposing fans poking fun at a team who are arguably the best at present is ridiculous.
As to crowing that Oz won 1-0 in SL you won the first test when rain washed out most of day 4 and changed the conditions from spin friendly to pace friendly.
