    The CW50 - The Top 3

    I was young when I saw him, and others are probably better placed, but I'd have said that Dujon was good without being special with the gloves, and by the standards of his time a very good batsman for a keeper. Healy would be comfortably better with the gloves and probably his equal with the...

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Going along tomorrow. Hope Australia wins the toss and Ponting tons up. Always seem to time my attendances to miss him batting. His injury might make that unlikely. Also hope Watson tons up so I can hold my attendance at such a monumental event over Smitteh et al for all eternity... :dry:

    The CW50 - The Top 3

    Reckon both Healy and Knott were significantly better glovemen than Dujon. Agree that with Botham at 7, there's no need to sacrifice too hard on keeping skills to get the best batting option available in Flower.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Thing is, as has been pointed out by others, when this current Aussie team has a bad session, they have a REALLY bad session and you do that too often, you'll lose matches.

    The CW50 - No.7

    Sober's bowling was decidedly more than "part-time".

    The CW50 - The Top 3

    Surely Flower, Healy or Knott would be more likely 2nd-placed keepers?

    Don't encourage him. That's like posing questions to Ikki regarding Warne's record compared to Murali's ...

    Bradman to Sehwag - Redefining Great Batsmanship Through Defying Tradition

    Yeah, lock the thread, but stick the article permanently on the front page.

    Fascinating Stuff on Murali's action

    Do think that in a sense it was unfortunate that Slats said at the outset "I've never thought Murali chucks". It would have been awesome to get someone like Gilly, who is respected, but who has been in the "he's chucks" camp, and see what he had to say after facing him in the brace.

    Harris vs. Hauritz vs. Swann

    So far as there is a tradition for Iverson/carrrom bowlers, it's a tradition of spectacular early success, and possible continued success against lesser batsmen, but equally spectacular crashing-back to the field once people get the hang of what you're doing.

    Has more money made the Australian cricketers bogans?

    That's more refugee from a 90s rap video than chav/bogan, ain't it?

    Got The Greatest by Malcolm Knox for Xmas today. Looks a decent read, covering stuff at a pretty general level.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Why not pick Cam White then, given he's more likely to be in the frame for a batsmens spot at some stage?

    The CW50 - The Top 3

    Well done Sean - great effort. I had 1 Bradman 2 Sobers 3 Murali 10 Grace I couldn't rate Grace higher given the relatively small pool of opponents he faced, although his legendary status and sheer talent made definitely earnt him a spot in the top 10 of all time IMO.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Actually not sure what you're talking about here. I don't think anyone's being defensive here in terms of trying to justify Watson's actions or even disagreeing that Watson was extremely fortunate to cop such a mild punishment. People are taking issue with some of Garner's comments on those...
