Stuart MacGill's 10 wicket haul has propelled him into 7th. place on the Test bowler's ratings list.
Steve Waugh moved up another couple of places to be 12th. in the batting and Darren Lehmann advanced 11 places to 47th. Justin Langer slipped to 13th.

I totally agree, Matt. I often wonder just who is 'forcing' MacGill to play cricket.
OK, m8, what about those of us who weren't at the MCG ?

the reason i called him warnie is because at the boxing day test i was with the barmy army and we were singing "warnie warnie" every time he came a fielded in front of us and when he was bowling and every time he was hit for 4 and he hated it so much because he knew that when warne was fit he would be back out of the test team
just the look on his face said it all |

| LOL.. I wonder how Stuart MacGill gets ranked 7th. Somethings wrong with the system for him to be that high. And as you say he's only playing when Warne isn't. Speaking of Warne, how long does that dickhead have till he comes back. |

"MacGill a poor man's Shane Warne" ?
How easily these statments are made. Maybe a look at some figures would be helpful here.
MacGill (5.2) takes more wickets per Test than Warne (4.6).
MacGill's strike rate (balls per wicket) is 52 against Warne's 61.
MacGill is considered much more expensive than Warne. In fact, MacGill's average (26.22) is only half a run worse than Warne's (25.71).
As Richie Benaud says, "Give me a spinner who takes 4/80 from 20 overs, not one who takes 1/50 from 20"
Sure, Warney LOOKS a class above MacGilla but the figures certainly make interesting reading, don't they.
Most cricket followers would consider McGrath to be one of the very best Test bowlers but how many wickets did he take against the Bangers, JLC ?
