Damien Martyn has told Dennis Lillee to shut up with his "Dad's Army" criticisms of the home side ahead of the Ashes. Martyn, who arrived home on Tuesday from Australia's Champions Trophy victory in India, said Lillee was in danger of losing the respect of current players if he continued to criticise the team.

Martyn, one of three 35-year-olds in the side, slammed Lillee's recent comments that an ageing top order could be the achilles heel in Australia's bid to regain the Ashes. "I think Dennis Lillee should keep quiet as president of the WACA [Western Australia Cricket Association] - it is disappointing," Martyn told reporters. "The team is disappointed in Dennis' several comments over the last six months, which don't need to be said. No [it doesn't fire you up] ... you just lose your respect."

In a column in the West Australian last month, Lillee said he saw danger signs for Australia as they prepared to take on the younger England team. "It's worrying how Australia, after being outplayed in England last year, are going to turn things around with a decidedly older team," he wrote. "Australia have some great players but even the greatest players get tapped on the shoulder by Father Time at some stage."

Get f*cked c*nt! Lillee, as always, is again on the mark you stupid arrogant prick. The ageing top order was a big part of the reason we lost the ashes to these pommy gits last year, and you were at the forefront of the choking as usual c*nt. So shut the f*ck up, and listen to your elders you stupid little germ. I really can't wait for you to fail in the 1st Test in Brisbane which will hopefully, and FINALLY spell the end of your extremely over rated career. Then we can get on with winning the Ashes back without your usless contribution. And as for the pushing away of the kind gentleman handing you lot the ICC trophy the other day, that just sums up what you are really all about prick. F*ck off!!
