From Down Under - Cliches and Non-cliches

Sound bytes from Down Under, in this case from none other than Shane Warne.

First a pretty cliched "Lacks Imagination". No prizes for guessing who it is aimed at. Of course it is the South African captain. When he was in Australia for the Super Series, Ian Chappell had made the same accusation verbatim.

Warne also goes on to add that Smith is only following in the tradition of South African captains, in so lacking. Surprise surprise, I remember Chappeli also aiming the same incrimination, definitely against Hansie Cronje and possibly also against Pollock, though I'm not so sure he did about the latter.

Warney does provide us with something original though - and it is "The New Daryll" - remember good old Daryll Cullinan, a very competent batsmen against spinners NOT NAMED WARNE ?? Oh yes, he who scored centuries in India and Sri Lanka. Well, Warne thinks that of this side, either Justin Kemp or Ashwell Prince is likely to be the new Daryll. Here is Gaurav's take on it
