Best left arm seamer?

[Smudge]

I see. Thanks for clarifying that Richard

For your reading pleasure - I lost the plot at some stage in that thread...

 

[Richard]

Union and league are different codes. ODI and tests are different formats of the same code

They're both different games based on similar principles.

OK, might have been stretching it a BIT to say any other test nation - I think Pakistan wouldn't need him. I think South Africa, India, and NZ would welcome him into the line up however.

I think his Test career stats to date tell us little about his quality as a bowler now. He's clearly improved significantly and learnt to do more with the ball in a wider variety of conditions. He also looks to have added a yard of pace compared to a few years ago, when he wants to bowl quicker rather than bowl for swing.

Haha, funniest post on that thread:

"Nah, I've got slightly less futile and more rewarding stuff to do, like ordert my porn alphabetically, or sort my belly-fluff in accordance to colour and smell"

Nice work grecian, haha

 

[Stumped]

[luffy]

I'd have to be biased and say Bracken but was seriously considering Vass.

SA and Ind, you're absolutely joking.

 

[Zinzan]

LOL @ Fiery voting James Franklin

 

[Matt79]

SA and Ind, you're absolutely joking.

Bracken would be line ball for the third seamer's spot in either team IMO... and certainly in the 12

Ntini, Pollock, Steyn, Nel > Bracken.

 

[Matt79]

Unless Steyn and Nel have improved significantly since last year, I don't agree.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Whoever voted for Jimbo Franklin needs to be shot

Altho i would say he would rank up there in Tests but........

 

[Richard]

Ntini, Pollock, Steyn, Nel > Bracken.

Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Sreesanth's recent deeds > any of Bracken's.

I might add.

 

[Richard]

Steyn certainly has. Nel hasn't, but he doesn't need to, he's always been better than Bracken ever has.

Im going to vote on this based on who I would want playing for my team (all things considered) and Im going with Mitchell Johnson.

Im willing to conceed that maybe Ive voted for him because his stock is high at the moment but he has a long successful future ahead of him (hopefully injury free) and looks the business. But I think its also because when non of the others excite me then go with the guy that does.

Im not saying Im right as I understand and appreciate why others voted the way they did. Its just not a group of players where any name really impresses and Mitchell Johnson could be special.

EDIT- Oh, just to add I seldom give much weight to ODIs in these type of votes.

 

[Richard]

So you're voting based solely on Johnson's domestic performances, then?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Damn, voted Bracken, then realised that Vaas was on the list...

 

[Swervy]

They're both different games based on similar principles.

This is what i have come back for.....classic!!!!

I just thought they were the SAME games but of different length based on the SAME principles.

 

[Richard]

You're 35 - you would.

 

[Perm]

Chaminda Vaas by quite a long way.
