Keep the threads and posting going mate. The forum seems to have slowed down in recent weeks, which is probably due to the lack of cricket atm, but whatever the reason it's great to have your enthusiast posting!

Don't be discouraged.

yeah Kambli is another good example. Crazy they didnt persist with him
Just the batting average number won't tell you the full story. Kambli was rightly dropped. He was talented, but he had big attitude problem. He had the technique for slow and low pitches. But he never worked on his weakness against bounce. Plus he was an alcohic - so much that even his childhood mate Tendulkar would not want to share room with him at one stage. And overall, India had some excellent middle-order batsmen in the 90s - Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, Azharuddin, Manjrekar were all better than him.

Nah Manjrekar wasn't. Though Mazumdar probably was.

When he had that awesome (but boring) series in India, we used to call him Jimmy Padams for his knack of offering his pad to any delivery from spinners that didn't pitch in line.

I remember reading an article after Australia won 2007 WC, that Voges was one of the next big things for Australia. Took good 9 long years later to show that.

Voges was 12th (or 13th?) man for a Test in 2006 right after Martyn retired. He was reasonably close to playing but they went with Symonds instead. It's weird to think about the near miss now given how long it took him to debut after that and what happened once he did.
