Nielsen announced as Aus coach

Oh, right, hadn't heard that.

Seems old "Punter" managed to go the time without getting sick of him, though...

Interesting that Australia should opt for a Pom. Tacit acceptance of our pre-eminence, clearly. There's obviously a few things they can learn from our ODI set-up. I fully expect them to be opening with two bowlers who can be relied on to send down 20 wides in the first 3 overs & then call up a geriatric stumper with a severe case of Tourette's who can't bat or keep quite soon.

I thought South Australia was no longer a British Colony after 1901?

Born within the sound of Bow Bells. Proper ****ney.

Haha, most Australian accented person ever.

Martin McCague, anyone?

Anyone care to tell me why Nielsen was able to play over 100 FC games with such a poor average?

Because he was a very good gloveman?

Sorry, just realised he was a Wicket Keeper.

So I clicked on his profile to have a look at the guy

Anyone else think he looks a bit crazy?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Anti-doping laws, anyone?

Get him off the Dan Mlecki's...

It's hardly the most flattering CricInfo pic...

Some people (^^^^^^^^^^^^) might have similar experiences...

I've done that so many times when browsing through player-profiles and looking at average before role.
