Best Pace Bowler

[luckyeddie]

Used to, Sunil. Used to.

I got very tired recently of his posturing and bluster when that was all he had to offer.

Out of the five in the list, I like Ntini above the others but as to who truly is the best...

If you are comparing them on top form it has to be Shoaib. Conversely, if you ask for who is the worst on their worst form - Shoaib again.

oh... so you don't like corky? well blow me!

4th test v India, bowled like an eejit.

ODI's, bowled like an eejit.

Oh and one thing I DID miss was that it wasn't broncoman who commented on Agarkar at all! Sorry, mate!

 

[wahindiawah]

Wahindiawah mentioned 'whiney Englishmen' and that's bordering on a racial slur. The two comments were totally different. Broncoman's dig was at Agarkar and wahindiawah's dig was at English men in general or maybe even only the English people here. I don't know but either way, it wasn't appropriate.

First of all i was only responding to a provocative post by an Englishman, i never intended to target all the English ppl but some of them like Neil and Mark.

Neil have been wishing an Indian loss in the CT final, what have u to say to that??

 

[Kimbo]

I have never thought of Neil and Marc as whiney... oh well.
maybe they just don't want India to win the final, theres not much wrong with that.
Personally I hope Aussie lose tonight, does that make me racist?
No, it makes me a kiwi

1) I found nothing at all offensive about the Whiney English comment. We think you lot go over the top - You think we whinge.

Stereotypes? Probably.
Offensive? Unless it become abuse then no way..

And as for hoping other teams lose.. I hope that Surrey lose all the time - that Man Utd and Liverpool get carted by Southampton - that Australia lose embarrasingly in the VB Series to NZ and SA - You've got to have a favourite...

Yes what's wrong with someone wishing certain team to lose.

I wish that Aussies never win, and in fact I would be rooting for England in the coming Ashes.

English? Whiney? My stiff upper lip's all of a quiver.

Seriously (me?) we can take it (and with our team, we have to - frequently).

I think that a lot of it stems from the utter tripe you could read in our jingoistic press. Two victories and we're great. After we beat Sri Lanka, the papers were full of how we had 'A great chance to bring the Ashes home'. Funny that I've not read much positive about the Aussie tour since playing India.

Pretty much all nations' press can be like this - take the "India fav's for World Cup" thread which is becoming a vehicle for criticising propaganda mills/newspapers...

Unfortunately all the support in the world won't help us in this one!

I should still come out winning a bet on England though!

Where did he say that, I've not seen it.

Since there was only one post prior to yours it must be mine, which was definitely not intended to be provocative as already stated.

Agreed, and u should be rooting for ur fav, rather than wishing openly a certain team's defeat.
Considering the other Finalists in Champions trophy is not even known, how could one have been rooting for his Favs???

For me it works the other way..... I wish the Aussies should lose whomever they play, not only India....Bangladesh, Kenya or the Falkland Islands...doesn't matter. That's me, and I have my reasons.

We all have our reasons AB !

 

[Kimbo]

I am sure you have tshirts like this in your parts of the world-
I support two teams, NZ and anyone playing Australia.
I support two teams, Otago and anyone playing Auckland.
I guess i do have a favourite murilal, the team that plays Aussie. I cheer for them whenever they do well against Aus.:P

 

[oyesachinoye]

Breet Lee is definately overrated, from what i saw today he was hardly impressive, Aus should replace him with Bracken

 

[Kimbo]

I've never rated Brett lee much. He doesn't seem to be maturing either, or maybe as he matures he sucks more. He isn't that young either... he must be 27 or 28 now

 

[Kimbo]

ok hes 26... almost 27.
