    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    Yeah, the point you and Jono make did cross my mind from the outset, but it was inconvenient to the argument I was making so I refused to acknowledge it. :ph34r:

    AWTA. At some point it stops being about black pride and stumbles into frank racism territory.

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    No, what I'm doing is taking at face value what an actual bowler who bowled that day had to say. I fully understand and agree with the principle you're reiterating. I'm just saying it isn't applicable here.

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    Actual quote from Ishant Sharma over the course of the bowling innings: "Bhenchod, ghisi piti bowling ki maa chod raha hai, bhen ka lauda." Even Ishant Sharma admits that their bowling sucked balls. Enough of the revisionism, Joni.

    So what you're saying is that the reason Pakistan cricket is down the shitter is because these cheerleaders they hired in 2009 gave their men the wrong idea of what their place is in cricket?

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    This is unfair. I don't think people are hailing Clarke's triple as one of the ATG innings. Clarke's triple is so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things that it didn't even pop into my head until it was mentioned. I'd definitely place it lower than McCullum's.

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    Yeah, but that sort of logic goes for the pitch too. Same pitch saw two team scores of 500+ In the long run, that bowling attack could be characterized as a pop gun attack, and that pitch would be characterized as a flat pitch.

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    Wellington might not have been a flat wicket, but the bowling attack was pop gun.

    who would you support...

    Probably SA, if it involved turning a blind eye to their constant whinging about pitches they can't handle.

    Cricket's grand slam

    AWTA. He's also won the CLT20 and the last played India-Pakistan match.

    KP - SA Test Cricketer?

    Re: Pietersen's tattoo. Prison inmates sometimes get their cell numbers (prison cells, not phones) tattooed onto themselves. Just saying.

    Didn't that happen like, just once?

    Promoting bowlers up the batting order

    T20 teams have been promoting Steve Smith up the order, and as we can see it doesn't work.

    FMD, the Supreme court is such a joke. >Wants BCCI to enact the Lodha Committee recommendations, one of which is banning politicians from the body >The BCCI claims the Lodha committee recommendations are undesirable and not well thought out >In the face of BCCI opposition, the Supreme court...

    Good point. I can't support a Telanganite team out of principle. Would have considered it (then laughed off the notion and supported CSK lite anyway) were they still part of Andhra. Sorry Teja (guys did you know he's a filthy Telanganite??), them's the breaks.

    Yo duffer, come to think of it, isn't a CSK supporter now supporting RCB kinda like an Australian supporting England after Australia get binned? I mean yeah sure, RCB fans aren't annoying whingers - credit where credit is due - but the analogy holds otherwise IMO.

    KKR - Pratters RCB(used to be CSK) - duffer can't decide between RCB and RPS - weldone RPSG(used to be CSK) - G.I.Joe RCB are an attractive batting line up and they're a good shout, but it's probably Pune for me now, because of all the CSK players. You can take CSK out of the IPL, but you...

    Hopefully he employed the mock Indian accent when talking about them? Can't give up that smug sense of superiority.

    Draft idea, 'restrictions draft'. Top 7 under x amount of test runs/centuries, (cont)

    I've got an awesome idea. How about you make it so you can't select the type of player that the previous participant did. If the person ahead of you in the order selected a spinner, you can select any player but a spinner (so you can select a batsman or pacer or keeper or all-rounder instead)...
