    Which Pro or ex pro have you got out?

    I don't know if they still do it, but we used to set up 8 nets back to back, if you know what I mean? My place was toward mid-wicket from the rear facing nets, just behind the number 2 ground. About a 50-60 yard slog.

    Which Pro or ex pro have you got out?

    Yeah, he's an excellent player. Even playing "hit and giggles" in that social match, he was pasting us everywhere. I had many chances to knock over Neil Fairbrother and Peter Bowler at Tuggeranong grade training with my deceptively sneaky left arm orthodox (deceptive because they all went...

    Ponting being rested?! Doht!!! :) That's what you get for living in a cricketing back-water. Okay Ponting = not gonna make too many Lee = wides Warne = ... Oh never mind...:( Pete Townshend = No invitation to the Grammys....

    Lehmann's outburst

    It is a fairly common occurance in the world of sports still unfortunately. Shaquille O'Neill is in trouble over here for making racist type derogotory remarks about Yao Ming, basically mocking the guys language. Shaq was trying to be funny, is basically not the smartest guy going around, and...

    I'm going out on a limb and picking Australia today. No insightful reasons, and I reckon I'm about even money (or 50-50) to be right.... Umm, okay, Ponting to find some form, Lee to bowl some wides... There's some daring predictions!!

    NZ all-rounders

    Have to agree with that. A genuine all-rounder can win you a game with either bat or ball, and Cairns is the only one mentioned who fits into that category, though they are all useful players. I would argue that Jacques Kallis is the best all-rounder running around right now, though saying...

    Which Pro or ex pro have you got out?

    What a coincidence Broncoman! I got Greg Irvine out once too. Only a social game though. It was at our annual Australian National University Hippies vs. The ANU Bar Drug fiends/Skinheads match at Reid Oval in Canberra, (small prize for guessing who I was representing) and Greg was one of their...

    Leading ODI Wicket takers .

    Yeah, I was just being sarcastic about him being rated "crap". There's many other peformances from Botham that won or significantly contributed to winning games, unlike Massie, who really was a "one-test wonder". I have Beefy just ahead of Kapil, but only as a personal opinion, simply because I...

    Leading ODI Wicket takers .

    Yeah, I heard something along those lines. Certainly they have a reasonably deep animosity toward each other. I'm pretty sure it's not a Poms vs Aussies thing either, as Botham generally had a pretty good relationship with most Australian players he played against as far as I know. Even Dennis...

    Weirdest Bowling action??

    Of the 42 tests Dilley played, Willis was involved in only 11 of them. Dilley took 34 wickets at 28, in these games, comparable to his career average of just under 30 I think. The best I saw Dilley bowl was in Australia in '87, a few years after sideshow bob retired.He was unplayable at times...

    Leading ODI Wicket takers .

    Well, then he must be I suppose. I always thought Botham was brilliant, all those matches he won singlehandedly, (name a better peformance than his effort in '83 at Leeds) brilliant strokeplay, intelligent bowling and remarkable fielding...but if Chappelli says he crap, I'll have to change my...

    Vaughan to open

    I guess these are the things that have stuck in my mind. Fielding issues can always be addressed, you've gotta have that guy batting for you though. Tremendous player.

    Well Dav Whatmore played a Test or two for us at some point didn't he? (I know, WSC split and all, but I'm certain I saw him bat for us at some stage...) But I see your point TC. If the players see the matter as closed, you've gotta think Speed is overdoing the politically correct thing with...
