Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2105563, member: 1764"] Don't get me wrong, Steve was one of the greats, and miles upon miles ahead of his brother for likeability IMO. If anything I think he got his arrogance from the captains who proceeded him. Captain Cranky Border and Captain "I don't need to score runs if I'm as good a captain as I think I am" Taylor had both positive and negative influences on Waugh. Australian cricket in general is extremely arrogant at the moment, and it seems they've all forgotten how deadshit useless they were 20 years ago. And it's not that hard to happen again. The only reason they haven't fallen back sooner is that no other country has taken the game by the balls to say "look at us, we're the best". So Australia stays at the top more through the mediocrity of the competition, covering the fact their quality has dropped probably 50% in the past 3 years. As for Thorpe, no, there's nothing in particular that I can put my finger on as to my negative feelings for him. Something about him just doesn't sit right. [/QUOTE]
