    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Pews, actually disappointed with that response. It suggests you agree with that infantile fool that being gay is an insult. I don't think you do but I think there were better ways to make the point he's an idiot.

    A.F.L Thread

    You think Buckley wouldn't let people know when he was unhappy with them? Did you see him play in the 90s? Giving people a spray isn't something he is unfamiliar with.

    Tour de France 2009

    Just saw the highlights before - the guy is a freak.

    Tour de France 2009

    How good is Thor Hushovd? Used to cheer Robbie McEwen over him, but he's a beast.

    Freddie's Last Test Wicket

    ****.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Strauss has been outstanding. Cook has been ok so far. And I can't imagine that you're saying that their performance is what has made Johnson so bad.

    Freddie's Last Test Wicket

    Churlish to say hopefully Siddle at Lords?

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    I think the solid opening stands and the blunt attack are a chicken and egg kinda deal.

    The stats do not do him justice!

    Loved SJS's post on Qadir.

    The team you would like Australia to play in third test

    Lol, came into this thread solelyto say "England - would be weird changing opponents mid-series"

    More that we all view the game through the prism of our beliefs and understanding of the game, and that while I honestly think you spend a lot of time thinking about cricket and have some very interesting and valid views, you also have some very deeply held views that IMO are simply wrong...

    Yeah, you're appreciated.

    And having got to the real issue that colours your assessment of Hauritz, I'll leave the discussion there.

    Akhtar-Supreme Fast hotshot or Too much talk??

    The speed at which he bowls has got nothing to do with whether he was any good - see Shaun Tait's test match efforts. He was an occasionally devestating quick, but was far too prone to injury, too selfish, and far too unprofessional to be considered a great bowler. Ultimately he will be...

    Nathan Hauritz

    Reckon he's a patently better bowler ATM than he was at the start of the 08/09 Aussie summer. Think Ponting should be credited for this in large part - he's instilled the confidence in Hauritz to bowl in a more attacking manner and feel confident enough not to go back into his shell when...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Iow? Never claimed to be good at this forensic dissection of statsguru records malarky. Someone asked the question and I'd already shut that tab, so I just spoke off the top of my head. ;)

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Hauritz will take 10 wickets in a match at 12 a piece only to have people advocate he be dropped for the next test before this series is out, based on the trends we've seen to date. Tigether with Hilfenhaus, he's been clearly Australia's best bowler to date.

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Find Flintoff's celebrations a bit contrived, and it jars because of how disappointed I was when they occurred. But tbf, guys like Lee are much worse, and in doing his pose, he's not being at all rude to his opponents, so can't really knock him for it.

    And that will obviously never change. 8-) Sometimes Rich, you need to be prepared to consider that a player might still be learning their craft when you see them the first time.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Think that might be it. The other series loses (India 02 and England 05) were come from behind affairs for the freakishly lucky fiends involved. :ph34r:
