Australia's Bowlers?

Question

A lot of people are starting to say that Australia's bowlers are too old. What does everybody else think?

Answer 1

Well I agree with them. There are reaching their ends. Especially McGrath and Warne. Warne is the Champion Leg-spinner. I think age doesn´t affect him that much because he is a Spinner and doesn´t need to run or bowl at quicker pace like a Fast-bowler. But that´s not the case with McGrath. All the the batsmen, young in particular, have shown that he is´t a bigger threat anymore. He just bowls at a good lenght. One can play that even by moving his feet. There isn´t a superior pace anymore, either. The one who thinks that he shouldn´t be giving him his wicket, will be making a mistake, like India did. Just attack. If you can attack, every bowler in the world would come under certain pressure. So, I think McGrath, in particular, has passed his prime and should be retired from International-Cricket.

Rawal.

Answer 2

If they lose Mcgrath and Warne to injury.. IF

IF Mcgrath and Warne were 26, and they lost them to injury they would still be in trouble..

Australia does have some old bowlers, but they are in form (unlike say.. englands bowlers)

Mcgrath is old, but still have fuel in the tank for another couple of years, Warne has a couple left, Mcgill a few more. Bracken is really great and young, Lee is young, Johnson is young, they have young guys coming through.

Not to mention all the quality bowling that does not get a look in, beause of all these guys...

Age doesn't worry me as long as they are bowling well. Mcgrath is still one of the worlds best bowlers, so is Warne. You would like them to be younger sure, more years, but you can't be picky.

Answer 3

Australia do have the bowling to take ten wickets in an innings; yet relies upon on what type of floor they're bowling in. they favor a very good spinner to bowl on the most suitable day of a try journey to achieve fulfillment in subcontinental pitches. Aussies lack a very good spinner. on the prompt the objective set by Australia replaced into not tantalising sufficient for India to flow after victory. They missed the plot their. If Australia scored swifter and declared by the day handed by nighttime, Indians may were tempted to flow for a win, and by doing so that they could have lost their way. On a lighter observe, each and every crew has the bowlers to take 10 wicket; yet by the time they take ten wickets, their combatants may have scored tonnes of runs.

Answer 4

thats right that they are getting old now but as far as they are doing their job well , age doent matter, basically the skills matters, though new talent should be tested and they have very good new bowlers but older ones are doing perfectly I think they can still serve their team.yes but after worldcup they should bring new talent forward , just to avoid any break in their performance after the retirement of senior bowlers.

Answer 5

Only S.K. Warne and G.D. Mc Grath are old and reaching the end of their carreer. Other bowlers in the present squad are young..

Answer 6

I wish they would keep playing till 60. Makes every other team's job a bit easier.

Answer 7

I think they r perfect.
they r very good so doesn't mater how old they I think old mean above 45-50 but they all r under 40 so its OK.

Answer 8

Yes, they are. If they lose McGrath or Warne to injury, then the Ashes are staying pom-side.

Answer 9

shane watson
mitchel johnson
