    A.F.L. Thread II

    You're such a dribbler Murphy. Just bitter that your very poor club with it's previously substandard coaching staff couldn't actually extract any performance out of Brown. And just cos you're right about Fraser doesn't mean that the rest of what you say isn't rubbish - what team wouldn't want...

    CA and BCCI, explain yourselves

    Not sure whether this is in jest or not, but :huh: if serious. Split inning List A games are so so so stupid. Will serve us right when our ODI squad starts to get worse. Makes it clear that T20 was by no means the stupidest idea to 'liven up' limited overs cricket going around.

    Smitteh, I deleted your post in the Insight Required thread. Please avoid using "gay" as an insult, plus it was a pretty unconstructive post in any case.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Nearly forgot Leigh Brown Watch: Another 16 disposals, 6 marks, time in the ruck plus 3 goals for the big fella. Would be a walk up start in the 22 for any team in the league on this season's form.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Oh, it's always fun beating Essendon, even if last night was a mismatch of Green-Briggs proportions. Not quite as much fun since MikeW hung himself halfway tthrough the West Coast match tho.

    ***Official*** Tendulkar vs Ponting Thread

    Jeez, you're sick of this argument after joining last month?? As others have stated, the point of this thread is to cater to those who want to debate in detail whether Sachin or Ponting is better without derailing other threads. If people are posting on that here they're doing the right thing...

    CricSim/PlanetCricket Discussion etc

    TF or not, if we think your trying wind up a poster who has made it clear he doesn't find it funny or pleasant, we'll close the thread and give warnings for baiting.

    Fast Bowlers dying is a myth

    Yeah, but I think the 'not putting 100% in domestic cricket' argument is utterly without merit. These guys are competitive beasts, and they have set actions - can't see any long term international holding back in a FC match. And a biomechanics will tell you that when you compromise your action...

    Fast Bowlers dying is a myth

    It's always been the case that batsmen will last longer in the game than fast bowlers. I think the 80s was an uncommonly dense period of great bowlers - but it was the aberration, not the time since. Batting against the quicks has got easier with helmets and body protection, and the limit on...

    The Myths & The Truth

    And I think this thread has running of sensible discussion. Everyone interested has made their points at length and we're just flogging a dead horse hereon in. I'm closing this thread because of this and because there have been too many instances of people arguing both views have proven...

    Broad cops up a bit of trouble.

    Sir Alex - the quoted posts, in the context of a general warning in the thread regarding keeping a level of civility in the conversation, and avoiding a flame session, are hard to interpret as anything other than an attempt to incite an argument and derail a thread. While we try to moderate each...

    Broad cops up a bit of trouble.

    My point was not that you can't discuss the topic. My point was that in discussing this topic the moderation team expects you and everyone else to be careful to avoid being inflammatory or insulting (and when deciding whether something fits that description to remember that this is an issue...

    *Official* Pakistan in England 2010

    Now I'm confused. I wasn't saying don't dump Cook, I was saying if you're dumping Cook, and have the choice between Carberry and Lyth, and those latter two are in similar form, but one has ten years of FC experience and the other doesn't, go for the more experienced candidate rather than the...

    The Myths & The Truth

    All depends how much 'stock' he was meant to produce as a 'stock bowler'.

    The Myths & The Truth

    Yeah, I remember he did have a crash as well, but I think that re-aggravated the wrestling injury.

    Broad cops up a bit of trouble.

    Scaly - that preceded my last post, but I'll reiterate that that is an unacceptable way to conduct this argument that is only going to result in a flame session. Please elevate your tone or leave the discussion to others.
