It does feel like the current crop feel entitled to be there rather than honoured.

Brings tears to my eyes. What a great time it was . All these players are legends . The game had a soul till then. The saying of cricket is a religion felt so true back then. It breaks my heart reminiscing those good old days .

Those days cricket was really enthralling and amazing..we really enjoyed cricket that time. These days too much of cricket show off has killed the generosity in the game. Sad the golden era has passed.

[@DD-xw6uw]

Although we have had good players since there is a missing element of excitement today. It’s never reached the same peak for me, and that includes all the teams.

[@cherylabellar2311]

Jason G, the only player (In memory) never to play for his country after scoring a double ton. Sad & Heart breaking. This bitter truth always gets me😔

[@TheALIMARS]

Cheryl Abellar yep. He scored his 200 in Bangladesh then was dropped from the team. It would probably also the highest score by a night-watchmen....

[@sankalp4673]

TBH, players get selected on the basis of their primary job. In Gillespie's case, it was obviously bowling. He had done well with the ball in the Bangladesh series and the first class season prior to that but had struggled before that in the 2005 Ashes and his bowling was on an overall decline.

[@duncanweller1048]

Brad Hodge got dropped from the Aussie Team after scoring a double ton. I believe the reason was he was filling a batting spot due to injury to a star.

[@TheALIMARS]

Duncan Weller oh yes.....hahahahaha. That’s right!!!

I remember seeing this live. Was an amazing sight, the amount of fun it looked like they were having smashing the Kiwis around the park.
