    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Trying so hard to at least get to lunch on day 1 of the first test before making my first roids mention, don't put temptation in my path...

    Sheep Draft Version 2.0

    Oh yeah, I heard there are a few guys in the English team atm who not only are not originally British, they weren't even BORN in the UK! :p

    Don't think I've picked a banned player, but could you repost the up-to-date list?

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    It's unfair to an extent, and I've bitched about it in the past, but Neilsen has openly said that he and CA view the Ashes and the Border-Gavaskar tests as the 'big' series, and that the management of the team is aimed at building towards those. In that context, Hughes over Rogers makes some...

    Fascinating Stuff on Murali's action

    Have seen footage of him bowling with the brace on before, but not the extended piece with the explanation of the shoulder, the demonstration of the brace. Pretty convincing for mine. I'm a bit like Ikki in that I was pretty much adament that he did chuck it based on watching him, but have...

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    I can see the case for Johnson being banned, given he pushed Benn. A bit unsure as to why Watson or Haddin deserved bans, rather than stiff fines. (Was surprised Watson only got fined 15% - I'd have taken his whole match payment).

    Means fast bowling is easier than spin bowling, at the highest level. :ph34r:

    Best left handed batsman of all time

    I'm not saying that Lara's admirers are biased - well at least no more biased than Pollock's fans. Both are basing their opinions on what they've seen of his batting, or otherwise on the opinions of others who saw their batting. Not buying into whether Pollock or Lara are better, just reacting...

    Best left handed batsman of all time

    As opposed to the biased account of Lara's admirers? Pollock played enough Tests to have an idea of how he performed at that level. And given his longevity and consistent success in the FC scene, there's little ground to suggest he wouldn't have continued to succeed at a similar level.

    Morne Morkel

    Stick Flintoff in that category as well, most of the time, tbh.

    A Resurgence Of The West Indies?

    Agree. If the test series is in South Africa, I'd leave out Benn and go the pace quartet, with Gayle and/or Deonarine to tweak if required. Maybe Deonarine instead of Benn a la: Gayle Barath Sarwen Chanderpaul Nash Deonarine Bravo Ramdin Taylor Roach Edwards

    Wonder what it will cost him in sponsorship. The Aussie public will forgive all sorts of atrocities, but being a wanker is mass appeal suicide.

    The CW50 - No.5

    Will probably find myself with less and less to say re each person as we get closer to #1, beyond simply agreeing with the praise heeped on them. Hobbs is the #2 batsman of alltime IMO.

    Watto = the not very smart kid? Surprising from you given it's Watto.

    Has more money made the Australian cricketers bogans?

    Yeah, a lot of them are bogans. A lot of sportspeople are. That's universal, in all cricket teams (although the terms and specific indicators would vary from country to country) and all sports.
