    Last Man Standing: 2013 AFL Season

    Can I be in this time?

    Best Ashes Teams

    English Teams: Hobbs Sutcliffe Hammond Barrington Pietersen Botham Flintoff Knott+ Laker Larwood Barnes In my time watching the game: Trescothick Vaughan Gower Pietersen Thorpe Stewart+ Flintoff Botham Gough Jones Fraser Much harder, given 2005 was the only series England had a really good...

    Best Ashes Teams

    Based on the Roland Perry (shudder) idea of the same name: Pick you best Ashes teams, based on performances in Ashes. Can be either based on what you've seen or of all time. All Time: Trumper Morris Bradman Border Waugh Miller Gilchrist Warne Lillee McGrath Alderman Pretty much picks itself...

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    It's meant to be who played since you were born, but lots of people are interpreting that as "players I've seen".

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Wow, you saw Bradman and Sutcliffe play?

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Lots of you have opted to post teams for the period since you started seriously watching the game, rather than when you were born. For me that means: 1987 and: Hayden Slater Ponting Tendulkar Lara Waugh Gilchrist Warne Marshall Ambrose McGrath Not a huge change - Lara and Waugh come in for...

    Great having Didak back in the team. Showed some of what we've been missing today. Swan is a machine.

    @ SS - yeah, I know your at least partially in jest with your crusade. Should stuck a :p on the end of my comment.

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Silent Striker has a virulent hatred of all slow bowlers. Re the middle order opener question, agree some middle order players could do it, but saying that they dealt with the second new ball means they could open is a bit wrong IMO. Normally such a batsman would be set by the time the new...

    Aussie Squad Form

    Well, I'm not thrilled about Hauritz full stop, so North being better doesn't cut a lot of ice with me. I'd prefer the attack with McDonald because I'd back him to bowl 15 overs a day without placing Ponting and the rest of the attack under pressure. I suppose...

    Glad for Plough that the team managed to win one for him. Reckon channel 10 are the ****s in the latest Cousins "controversy". Unless I'm mistaken, the camera that Cousins walked past wasn't being broadcast live, which means that 10 later made the decision to broadcast what he did. Why? To...

    Aussie Squad Form

    I have said this so many times and still yet to hear a sensible answer - for those advocating a four prong pace attack without McDonald or Hauritz, how are the Aussies going to get throughtje required overs? Or are we sanguine about Ponting missing a test through suspension, or having to toss...

    Yeah consistency would be good. I take it after last week you're all back to loving Fev, at least until his next off night? :ph34r:

    ****, Judd is an amazing player. Ablett is a fantastic player, but for me Judd, with his full fitness coming back as it now, is clearly the better of the two. A second Brownlow for him this year IMO. Still gutted he chose Carlton over the Pies.

    wow, would have guessed you were older than that.

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    yeah, on inspection, replace Grenidge with Gavaskar.

    Who would you pick in the Greatest Cricket XI of YOUR Lifetime?

    Thought of him and decided to leave him out for the same reasons as Chappell and Lillee, but that's probably not right is it... Was a team quoted with little thought tbh...
