Battle of the CricketWeb Selectors - Australia

[Top_Cat]

Didn't want to vote, this was too hard. Thoroughly respect the views and cricketing knowledge of everyone named. Like HB, ask me tomorrow and I'll want to change but one thing was certain; if the polls say anything it's that DCYE is under-rated so he got my vote. Also went for Kaz and Burgey but bloody hell it was difficult.

Humbled and surprised that I'm doing so well, though. Seriously. Thanks to those who've voted so far.

Yeah, thought you would be leading this tbh.

One of the best posters of both official threads and domestic threads.

Giving you my sole vote in protest.

that explains a lot. I haven't been that active in those threads and that is why perhaps I haven't voted him ahead of the others.


That said, since he is a fan of Balaji, I was almost tempted to vote for him.

 

[Johnners]

Voted for Saggers, Patto & DCYE. There is no such thing as too much Watto love! Aside from that, all 3 know the domestic scene better than most.

 

[GIMH]

You are dead to me

****, sorry mate. You were actually my 4th choice and I ain't joking, can't believe I left you off my list



ouch

 

[Jono]

Almost impossible to choose just 3, but I'll go Nnanden, DCYE, Burgey

In the nicest possible way, think it's ridiculous that I only have two votes.

Ah so this is where the angry post in the Indian selector thread came from.

Must be missing the arrogance and sophistication of older posters. Apologies for wasting my life correctly predicting the last 24 months of Australian Cricket. (face)

Drop some names

L00k, am just bitter. There was only one weekend last season where I didn't attend a grade game and I watched all the domestic stuff on Fox. I can recite stupid averages off the top of my head. And, shoving modestly completely aside now, I have a top 'feel' for the gane, reflected in my best mate making $6200 last season in betting on cricket alone (I don't bet).

Do you know how much goes into making a call like this for example? And that was when I was young and naive at 16. But I'd attended net sessions and talked to people which gave me a strong indicator.

Haha anyhow, I'm taking this way too seriously. Heal for president. [/girly whinge]

EDIT: Btw, have acted like a moron in this thread. Apologies.

pasag, Top_Cat and Prince EWS the leaders early on. Will be hard for anyone to catch them.

 

[honestbharani]

I get the feeling that had I been more active in the Aussie tour and domestic threads, I would have definitely voted for you, Nath..


As it is, though, I voted for the 3 guys I thought had the best knowledge of Aussie cricket. Obviously, I don't think the same now.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, first time I opened this thread. Decided I'd vote for myself (H).

 

[DaRick]

The vast majority of these candidates would make good selectors, IMO. I'll vote for pasag, FaaipDeOiad and Top_Cat.

Haha Smiff. Means you're disqualified. (face)

L00k, am just bitter.

I'll vote for you mate.

-1 Nnanden

Seriously though, I don't read enough Austraaaaalia tour threads to gauge your quality. (arse)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'd be a gun selector. Phil Hughes & Manb00bs Siddle to debut.

Good selections. I vote for you.

I've been incredibly busy of late but I thought I'd pop in and read a little and spotted this thread.

To me it's quite flattering that I am even on this list when members like social who are infinitely more knowledgeable did not get enough votes.

I vote on those who I love to read and who seem to not be too extreme in any view they hold. Those gentlemen are: TC, Burge and Faap.

Also add: Thanks to those that did vote for me. I am humbled, truly. The more deserving gentlemen have most the votes and rightly so.
