MV: MMM, Graeme Swann.
IC: A very good spinner.
SB [at Chappell]: A Australian preparation for this series - is a India tour, - the right way? Or should they played several Sheffield shield games after a long pause?
IC: Game of cricket is not a bad way to prepare to play cricket. It is only considered perfect because they are laminated.
SB: Is there a feeling here that players play too to be at their peak? Mitchell Johnson reversed far balls over the year last international cricket.
Geoffrey Boycott: Scyld, it is not very good bowling. If a guy at this level cannot Bowl the ball somewhere on a bloody length should get another job, simple as that.
IC: Added to the problems of Johnson, England it worked. What England have said is, ' If you want to throw out there [i.e. external strain offshore], spend your life, we do sums not come until that prove you that you can swing a bullet in '. And they are waiting until he bowls almost one launch full and boom, they him Ranger.
MV: In 2002 - 2003 we arrived here, and there was a great debate about the preparations.Get straight facts - we were just not as good as the Australia, and I think that this team of England is a better team, 20 per cent more than the Australia.
IC: I think that we probably just did not feel that how much better they were. Most people thought they were a little better and now are beginning to see that it is more than slightly.
GB: Australians are not played very well, it is as simple as that. It is human nature. They target a few players too obtained with dips and we have ups and downs.
IC: Shane Warne can add another to her list of things that are over rated. I tell you what: planning is over rated. This is how you play. You can talk as much as you like before the match, but that's what you do outside of the medium which is important.
SB: Is Australian rules siphoning off the coast of the young elite here sports that have played cricket?
IC: I think that this is a problem in three States, especially in Victoria and Australia-Western and South Australia also. Aussie Rules clubs offer youth 16 and 17-year contracts and thus get more athletes from first choice. I think it's ridiculous for say a kid at 15 or 16 to choose between sport and another bloody.
SB: Predictions for the rest of this series, please, gentlemen?
GB: Win in England. If I were Ricky Ponting, I would be able to sleep at night. He had to win two of the three. I think England would bat very wrong, very wrong.
MV: England 2-0.
IC: OH, England win. I would almost go far as to say the willingness of England - there.
SB: Is the standard first class cricket to Australia abnormally low?
IC: I think that we are in a bit of a hollow and spin bowling is certainly a lower, as real when we were poor in the mid-1980s. Young stick is not bad, young fast bowling is probably one of the best, but three guys you have probably been to Perth - Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and James Pattinson - are all wounded. They are too busy to pick up weight in gym instead of balls.
MV: I agree that launchers get fit by bowling, but doing fitness as a team creates unity and a link. If you align the Australians against the English team, I think we expect a fitter, stronger team, which is great in terms of body language. I just traced to the Australian game in Hobart [when England won by a handle]. I've shifted by the performance of their side A he. In 2002 - 3 have been given us really a good game in a test match by their side A. If you place one side of A Britain now is a strong team. It is always the strength of a nation - can put you a different competitive XI? England can, but I do not think that the Australia can.
SB: England can become champions worldwide test?
MV: Yes. The first time, I therefore thought never. In the 1980s, it was difficult to get past the West Indies. In the 1990s, it was difficult to get the past Warne and McGrath. Indians are good, but I think that in England, can beat by Graeme Swann, is the key to everything.
GB: I've seen some of these games children performance and they are quite good, and they want a place of England very shortly, those top therefore keep, which is what you want.
IC: When the India No. 1, I said that I see them as # 1 in the long term. Have you seen not only their fast bowling but their spin bowling game? When South Africa beat Australia here, I thought that "the crowd will be # 1", but they were very inconsistent.
MV: They do not have a counter.
IC: They do not have a few other things either. I think that they will win regularly until Graeme Smith is the captain. For me, it is more to win and England could easily be no. 1. But the most important question is: can remain # 1 for some time and keep on improving?
