It affects a batsman's statistics but we just don't go for those personal marks," he said.<br /><br />"Counties like India suffer from that. We back ourselves against those countries because they'll get two or three players in the 70s and beyond and they'll be eyeing off that personal landmark and it will cost their side 40 or 50 runs as a result.<br /><br />"Pretty much all the sub-continental sides are like that. They really can waste a lot of time and there's no time to waste. Every ball has got to have a priority stamp on it."<br /><br />http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2004/aug/24hayden.htm<br /><br />Get that, u bloody subcontinentals....Aussies play as a team. And if you dare question that, you have no business being on the same planet...<br /><br />Cheers,Homernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-59684441331577045362009-12-29T21:16:59.352+05:302009-12-29T21:16:59.352+05:30Ravi Shastri's top favourite - "Anil Kumb...Ravi Shastri's top favourite - "Anil Kumble is a tall man".
