AW: Turning to today?s players. What do you think is the problem with the current WI team?

CK: Discipline. These chaps are completely lacking in discipline.


So the rum drinking of Sobers and King et. al. gets a pass? Wonder what he’d say today with players choosing T20s over a bankrupt CWI

Some of these guys today give the impression that all they care about is the money.


There is your answer.

BTW That journalist Austin Wilson seems pretty good. Pity he seems to have retired.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Without a doubt, Steve Bucknor is the best umpire today. I am also impressed by Venkat. Shepherd and DaSilva do not impress me and Bowden of NZ is making a mockery of the game with his signals.

de man mention bucknor and venkat as top umpires
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

PS....Venkat was very good before his eyes went....problem is he did not leave when his eyes went

That interview took place in 2004.

Did Austin ask the tough questions or was he too close to retirement to rock the boat big grin

Seriously it was a good interview

exactly why i laughed. By 2003, venkat's eyes were gone. He gave lara the most ridiculous dismissal in 2003 barbados. Knew his eyes were gone then

looks to been dealt with harshly. That was a shocker dealt to Lara, Bichel bowling from over the wicket gets a ball to pitch on leg and angle towards off, Lara chops the ball back onto his pad, HUGE inside edge and onto the back pad! Umpire Venkat decides that's out

blinkim needed to buss it then and there

Was it the eyes or did the bookies trap him by then? Allegedly?

Austin Wilson, I am told, has gone on to host his own show on the internet, imparting insightful cricket and political tidbits to young and old alike.
