    CW Decides The XI of the Decade

    It's been a thread throughout his career to hear batsmen saying that they hate facing Morkel much more than Steyn. Some SA batsmen borderline refused to face him in the nets, iirc.

    CW Decides The XI of the Decade

    Morkel, because I'm completely biased towards Morkel. I think it should really be Philander because of the extra batting he provides at 8. If Ashwin had made it ahead of Herath it would have been a different discussion imo.

    CW Decides The XI of the Decade

    Stunned at how many people selected Azhar when I think only one picked Smith. I know he didn't play the full decade but he still played 38 Tests and averaged 45ish with 9 centuries and 12 50s. Anyway, Steyn and Anderson.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    On a side note, and this may stir the pot a bit, but there are occasions where Aussie posters on this forum who are critical of Indian fans for being biased and overly defensive of local fan favourites may exhibit a bit of this themselves. Just a thought.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I mean, I'm South African and Donald wasn't better than McGrath, lol. That said, some stats brought up in this thread have been interesting, such as McGrath's poor record in Asia and Donald's remarkable consistency. I do think we underrate Donald - largely because McGrath was McGrath, Ambrose...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Anyway, this is a matter of semantics at this point. And yes, MJF was ****ing awesome. Huge fan of his - hopefully his wrestling will be able to hold up to his chops on the mic moving forward.

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    ??? Presuming you typo'd the latter, the fact that two people in this thread have already contested that Punk would clearly and uncontroversially be the best mic worker in the WWE, you'd think that that would be sufficient so show that there would be at least some controversy surrounding such a...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    So you think Punk is uncontroversially better than every single name on the list I provided on the mic? Cool story.

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Well this is just flat-out wrong. As previously highlighted, Punk was afforded liberties on the mic (or flat-out just took them) that other stars just aren't privy to these days. Punk was great on the mic, but he wasn't definitively better than the likes of Zayn, Owens, Balor, Styles (check out...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Yeah, Fox wouldn't have gone ahead without consulting WWE. That said, it does mean that WWE has been able to distance itself to a degree, and would make a Punk return less likely than would otherwise have been the case. He probably will return though. I just think it'll be a while before it...

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    My understanding is that the deal to have Punk on the show is between Fox and Punk, not WWE and Punk. This is what the journos appear to be reporting, anyway.

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Yeah, although whether he's employed by WWE in anyway is another story. Could be a purely Fox-run show. I'd love to see him back in the ring but I'm highly skeptical of whether this is going to lead to anything more.

    Hussein Manack? lol. Yeah, getting Smith into the Proteas scene would be fantastic. Holding thumbs.

    ICC Sim League VIII

    I mean, it's testament to the sim engine that SA lose in the knockouts... Good run though. Good luck to everyone still in it.
