Quote Could you please change m="Could you please change m"And we've been just as "competative" since those players retired. The teams of the late 80s and 90s won just as much as the current crop. The fact is we were 5hit then and we're 5hit now, and I'm not convinced the young players coming through will change anything. No doubt the likes of Myler and Westerman will get their chance, be average for 1 or 2 games, and be written off as not good enough, and then the cries will start again for "the youngsters to be given a chance"... and so the cycle continues.'"
I don't remember regular 30-40-50 point hidings at the hands of Australia during the late 80's-early 90's.
We may have been beaten in series against them and in world cups but they were alot closer then the way we've pushed them in the past 4-5 years.
We got beat by 40+ points in the world cup, in the tri nations final of 2004 and by nearly 60 points in the one off test over there aswell a few years back. That never used to happen.
We pushed them to the edge in 1992 and in 1995 aswell as in Ashes series before that.
We may not have even been any good back then but i tell you we were a dam site better then we are now
