    A.F.L. Thread II

    God, we tried hard to through away a 48 point lead there. Happy to get the 4 points, but a bit of a hollow feeling to be pants-ed so comprehensively in the final quarter and just scrape it in after dominating. Feel for SBI and the other doggies fans - this year not turning out the way it was...

    Pro35 Evolution : Cricket's Newest Format

    Look forward to a new thread on this exciting idea appearing 15 seconds after his ban expires! :dry:

    Those rebel tours of South Africa....

    Nah, I reckon like a lot of young men, they were probably pretty happily ignorant of anything that had, to that point, not directly impinged on their life/world. Have to say, sportsmen seem to be particularly bad in that regard. Talking in generalities of course, there are exceptions, but a...

    Ishant Sharma vs Stuart Broad - Test bowler

    I know, I'm not saying he's useless or that that was representative of him. Was more replying to Uppercut who was saying he was amazing in the UK - I was pointing out that he wasn't amazing in Aus, ie. the level he bowled at in the UK hasn't been consistent.

    Ishant Sharma vs Stuart Broad - Test bowler

    And he was pretty dire during the tour of Australia.

    lol Swann. Cry at being asked to choose between Vic and DKL though. Might as well ask me which child I love the most. Abstain, as I can't separate them at all.

    John Howard to head ICC?

    I'm not going to call you a liar, I'm just going to say that you're not being truthful there. :thumbsup:

    John Howard to head ICC?

    After serving as one of the longest serving MPs, and second longest serving Prime Minister in Australia's history.

    Pro35 Evolution : Cricket's Newest Format

    Re: spintime helping the art of spin and reducing 'boring middle overs'. I don't think it would do either thing actually. First I disagree that the middle overs of ODIs are boring. Second, haven't you already achieved that objective by shortening the innings by 15 overs? Also disagree that...

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Think as a minimum they should have let Bazza get out some of his frustration with a right cross to Aker's face*. * Theory may or may not be influenced by my abiding desire to see someone smash Aker in the face.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Nah, given his history at the Lions, I don't think the current situation is going to pan out well from the Doggies perspective.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Doggies squibbed the issue with Aker a bit. Do they really think that they won't continue to have these issues in three weeks time when he renews his media activities?

    Pro35 Evolution : Cricket's Newest Format

    Disagree that 'spinplay' would make cricket more strategic. It would make the cricket more formulaic - why take away a captain's ability to strategically manage who bowls and when? If over-rates are the sole concern, then carry over the mandated over-rate from T20 (can't imagine you'd really...

    To be honest, I think it was his post-cricket career as an actor in James Bond, and other movies (including Hot Fuzz, pictured) that has endeared him to people:

    Well, that's both of them.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Depends - will likely generate more column inches and awareness in Sydney than the Swans have in their existence to date.
