so have u solved the crossword?luckyeddie said:Just as long as we've got that straight.
Warne isn't an all-rounder.zinzan12 said:My point is simply raising the question as to whether Warne has been the allrounder of the series so far ....Looks like your a little slow, reading not your strong point aye ??
I can't see why raising this question automatically means i'm belittling Flintoff, as opposed to you and your straight-out attack of players you find overated over the years
Yes, and the darned Su Doku puzzles.honestbharani said:so have u solved the crossword?
How does one qualify to be an "allrounder" then?Pedro Delgado said:Warne isn't an all-rounder.
Flintoff is.
You do the math.
Warne has done well for a tailender though, no-one can deny that, and his batting continues to improve, shame it's a little late in the day for him.
A batting average above 13 or so would help.greg said:How does one qualify to be an "allrounder" then?
So Warne can be classed as an allrounder in this series thenPedro Delgado said:A batting average above 13 or so would help.
It doesn't work like that though does it. You're either an all-rounder or you aren't. He wasn't one before the series began, but now he is? When does he cease being one again? When he fails with the bat? Does he then become a slogging tailender again?greg said:So Warne can be classed as an allrounder in this series then
Of course.greg said:Would you say Craig White was an allrounder?
Yeah. Warne for me always had the potential to be considered a bowling all-rounder in the league of guys like Hadlee and Davidson, but he never quite fulfilled it with the bat, like Wasim Akram.Pedro Delgado said:It doesn't work like that though does it.

Crumbs, with this rationale Gillespie will be considered an all-rounder next.
really? so half way through the series you're raising a rather pointless question about warne being the all rounder of the series by starting a new thread on it then?zinzan12 said:My point is simply raising the question as to whether Warne has been the allrounder of the series so far ....Looks like your a little slow, reading not your strong point aye ??
err yes and wouldnt it be better for you to do the same instead of hiding it under all the pretence?zinzan12 said:I can't see why raising this question automatically means i'm belittling Flintoff, as opposed to you and your straight-out attack of players you find overated over the years
no...gillespie can only be considered as a batsman right now...Pedro Delgado said:Crumbs, with this rationale Gillespie will be considered an all-rounder next.
How do you know he is pretending ? Are you some expert at it or what ? At least he changes his opinion about the players after their performance, but If you think a player is over rated, you will attack him no matter what. Such as If Tendulkar scores a century at Perth, you will argue to death that 'although Perth traditionally is a fast and bouncy pitch, on that Particular day it was playing like a flat track and all the aussie bowlers were bowling crap, all the other batsman got out to poor shots etc etc.'tooextracool said:err yes and wouldnt it be better for you to do the same instead of hiding it under all the pretence?
i could start a new thread saying "hayden has been rubbish against seam and swing so far in this series", but you wont see me doing it at any point during(or even after) this series.
and if i started a thread everytime tendulkar choked and said :Sanz said:How do you know he is pretending ? Are you some expert at it or what ?

Not much good at either though, and only showed any sort of test standard potential with the bat at the end of his career when touring the subcontinent.Pedro Delgado said:I'm not having a go, I like Warne and it's been a privilage to watch him play. It's just that I feel there is only one "genuine" all-rounder playing in this series, call me old fashioned.
FWIW White was picked as an all-rounder at the start of his career, number 6 bat and fourth seamer.
