*Official* South Africa in West Indies

You were calling for Nash and Chanderpaul to be dropped from the Test team when everyone else insisted that dropping them was ridiculous, there's no point trying to deny it!!!

Think we all know which call was the most stupid.

Erm no "columbo" i was calling for Chanders to be dropped after the poor form he's been showing FOR OVER A YEAR!! , furthermore i only called for the seniors (which includes Nash) to be dropped after their shocking performance at Queens park the other day of which they showed a complete lack of skill and spirit, you might call that opinion "stupid" but people who know much more about cricket than you such as Collin Croft agrees with it so i guess he's "stupid" too right?!! .

Funny, don't think January counts as last week somehow.

Ooops i forgot you know everything about my posts now don't you Columbo?!!


P.S. Nash's position was under threat due to the form Deo had been showing since his 80 against Australia, if Sarwan and Barath hadn't have been injured one of Nash or Deo would have missed out so it was only logical to debate which one it would be.

No, what's stupid is the argument that because he's Colin Croft, he's incapable of saying anything stupid about cricket. He's just a man and, for that matter, a man who's said some pretty daft things over the years.

I was telling you the man shouldn't be anywhere near the side Mike and you kept on backing the guy, there's no point trying to deny it!!.

Care to name the "stupid things" he's said? also the man HAS PLAYED THE GAME at the heighest level and knows the ins and outs of the game too, especially when it comes to West Indian cricket, pardon me for thinking he'd know a tad bit more about WI's current situation than most of the posters on this forum!! .

I hear that the selectors also played the game at the highest level, tbh.

Croft's columns during the player's strike were awful.

Honestly, if the basis of your arguments are always going to be 'famous player x agrees with me so I must be right and you're wrong because you never played Test cricket', why are you here? No-one regularly posting on this forum has played Tests so why bother? Why, for example, should we even bother with you when your opinions are in complete opposition to those of the selectors? Pulling the credibility argument when we're all in the same boat is a dick move.

What a pathetic cricket match.

When people started being ignorant by claiming my opinion was "mad" that's when i played the Croft card, in an effort to make them fathom that if people who've actually played the game and have more knowledge about it than them agree with me then maybe my notion isn't as "mad" as they imply .

[Stapel]

WW, you have convinced me that Colin Croft is a crap commentator. And that's about it!


Now then, the game as it is: Any chance of quick wickets to fall on day 5? I don't think so...
