    Harris vs. Hauritz vs. Swann

    Are there any spinners in the world would wouldn't have a tough day in the office if they come across Sehwag-in-the-mood on an unresponsive deck?

    Appalled at the lack of Kamran Akmal. :ba-boom-tish:

    Well if he already holds the record, he'll break his own record! :p

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Said it before during this match, but if you're a bad catcher, you're a bad cricketer, simple as. That said, I think we over-estimate the importance of drop catches in and of themselves. I've done no research on this other than the impressions I've formed from 20 years of watching cricket...

    IPL - Availability of Australian Players

    It's not so much that he was being overly sensitive as you expressed yourself poorly if that's what you were trying to say. If you'd expressed yourself a bit more clearly, I'd doubt he'd have said anything.

    Player of the Decade - Ponting

    Agree with GIMH. "Smith is just a greater leader of men"? Based on the way he has led a team that has for most of the decade not achieved at the level Ponting's team did? And lol at saying that Warne is a better captain than Ponting. Warne has only ever held the role as a fill-in, and has...

    Player of the Decade - Ponting

    Yeah, cause Ponting being from Tasmania is relevant.

    IPL - Availability of Australian Players

    Tbh, T_C has already responded to this kind of concern better than I can: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/2123844-post418.html, but by all means respond like Pavlov's dogs to what the tv tells you to get upset about. Charming thread title by the way.

    Player of the Decade - Ponting

    Not really. He batted very well, and was bailed out by Paneser and Anderson surviving in Cardiff, and a ripping spell of bowling by Stuart Broad. Wouldn't have said that he outcaptained Ponting though.

    Any chance of you disappearing for another 7 years muppet?

    Player of the Decade - Ponting

    Such a ridiculous comment. Under his leadership, the team has won 2 World Cups, a Champions Trophy, a massive proportion of tests home and away. Oh, but they've lost the Ashes in England twice (in extremely tight series both times), and struggled in India with a then massively green attack =...

    lol at Pakistan. What the **** were Butt, MoYo and then Akmal doing out there?

    Best Bowling Attack - Tests

    Hasn't really changed my opinion. Kaneria is good. Aamer has potential. Asif is good and in the right conditions lethal. The fourth bowler is a lottery, and they're all flakey. Down to SA and Aus for mine. Watson's current form, Haureh's improvement and Bollinger's inclusion tips it in...

    Goes to show, bad fielder/catcher = **** cricketer. Pure and simple.

    Player of the Decade - Ponting

    Between Ponting, McGrath and Murali for mine. Any one of those would be deserving in my eyes, with Kallis in fourth. What is maybe being overlooked here is that for most of this decade, Ponting has achieved all of this while being (the-most-winningest ever) captain. Pretty amazing and...

    Sheep Draft Version 2.0

    Ravi Bopara. If it's true that Blakus got Dravid for a sheep (cbf going back and checking) that's ****ed and whoever did that may have handed him the win... EDIT: It's not true. Blakus got Dravid in Round 10B. After that, but before the final results for Round 10, Metallics nominated Dravid...

    Sheep Draft Version 2.0

    Yeah, that's a pretty sweet side. Amazing what the last minute inclusion of Imran does to this team. Funny thing is though, that Gubby Allen was hardly a slouch with ball or bat either. Am I right in thinking you're the only one who avoided a sheep for the entire draft?
