Back from south africa macka? Well done son. Tell me, is the rumor true that they payed you in big macs for every six you hit? Good motivation me thinks.
No, mate. They gave me a go at your wife for every six I hit :laugh:

That might get me in "trouble", but, god damn it, that was worth it.

Inviting the nine posters who voted Heath Davis to join the rebellion against his dictatorship in the Off Topic forum. Anyone else who would like to join is welcome to do so.

Have a nice day :)

I'd say a few players from that team that got crushed by the Aussies 0-5 at home may fit the bill. Lance Hamilton, maybe? Or even Andre Adams? Or Brooke Walker? Then again, a few spinners would make this dubious list.

Someone mentioned Daryl Tuffey- he wasn't bad, just a green-top giant who'd get cut down to size on less helpful pitches, and he did quite well on a tour of India. Shayne O' Connor and that other left-armer Geoff Allot were just plain unlucky- they could have made an impact had they played longer.

As far as I know I have thought you to be:

Richard Attenborough (Sir)
David Dickinson
Richard Illingworth
Richard III
Richard Rich
Matthew Bulbeck
:laugh:

Anyway how come Adams hasn't played more Tests for New Zealand when did quite alright on his Test debut, I know he has had his back injuries, but pidgeon holed as an ODI player and only an ODI player.

I voted for the New Plymouth lot.

Excellent. Another person that knows that FDMC is far better at cricket than Boys High.

As for Adams, his bowling was not really dangerous enough for test cricket. That and there was another allrounder gunning for the number 8 spot. Jacob Oram. Oram was chosen.

Newzealand played someone who could be having the WORST all round credentials of any cricketer in history.

Douglas Freeman who played two test matches in 1933 averaged 1 per innings with the bat and 191 pr wicket with the ball:-O

I made this thread when I was legally ******** (under 18).

I should probably still be legally ******** tbf, but I'm almost 21 now.

I really hoped this thread would stay hidden. Why don't you click the link in my sig and throw stuff instead?
