Let's not forget Miyagi trying to lecture the 16 year old on how he should post, but don't you dare tell him his own posting needs work.

Miyagi, your posts are littered with personal jibes yet at the first whiff of grapeshot you run up the ad hom white flag. Cbf now, but will put a bit of a compendium together tomorrow by way of illustration.
I'm hyped for this. Don't let me down burgey.

I for one think Cairns would have been a part of the Aus team of the late 90's. Don't forget he debuted in 1990, back when Australia wasn't the powerhouse they would become later. It not unrealistic to suggest the team could have built around a middle/lower order of the Waugh twins, Cairns and then Healy at No 8 during the early 90's. By the late 90's Cairns would be well established, possibly even delaying the debut of Lee.

Reasonable, and thoughtful. Like I said - he was the only - but he would in fact have been.

Weirdly, I seem to have missed all the pages about smith . When I posted only the first page showed, or loaded. I was even on my computer and not my phone. So my post about smith was long after he was mentioned, but I obviously didn’t realise it!

We'll all see how busy Burgey really is at his new gig if he manages to spend his Friday collating cricket chat posts

Crapshoot of a thread.

Any more personal insults and there will be infractions. There may already be some in the offing. Just cbf right now.
 
Hypochondriac. Crabby. Simply ugly. He's been called everything:

Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo

After 51 tests, 85 innings and just 2 centuries to his name Shivnarine Chanderpaul averaged 38.6. Useful.

But not the start of an ATG batsman with a career average of over 50.

After removing a piece of bone from his foot, this guy ultimately joined the ranks and standing shoulders with the games best ever, and would be even more highly regarded imo, had he not had such a mediocre career start.
He made his test debut in 1994. His maiden test century came in 1997.

You're absolutely a hypocrite tho. And passive aggressive to the extreme. We're talking massive bitch levels. Keyboard warrior of the highest calibre. Verges to the point that it seems you're genuinely mentally not all there and you genuinely do not get what an annpying piece of **** you're being.
Has ***** left home finally?
