    A.F.L Thread

    Hate them tbh. Robert Harvey the only decent thing about the ****s. Will laugh my arse off if they somehow screw up this season from here. Think it's the bunch of **** celebrity supporters who really turned me against them. Gtfo.

    Who is the most 'undroppable' player in the world?

    Stuff about Clarke being undroppable is silly - he's already been droped once in his five year career, and since getting back in the team hasn't put a foot wrong. In ODIs he's class as well, he's been down on form in that format this last year, but still contributing in the field and with the...

    Player in the opponent teams that you feared most

    Don't fear him. Maybe cause when he's batting you always feel like he'll be out soon, and by the time that doesn't happen, the damage is done. Fear is an emotional thing, not logical. In this new post McGrath world, probably a bit different, but prior to the last series, felt confident our...

    Milestones

    Quality, not quantity is the thing however. Well done Sean. ;)

    A.F.L Thread

    Will be interesting to see who loses by more, your lot vs Hawks or my lot vs the Saints. Hate the fact that St Kilda appear to actually have some credibility this year. Surely they're due for their annual spate of soft tissue injuries to turn them back into pretenders?

    How many temporary bans...

    all time 11 with a difference!

    "Glaring" is a matter of opinion, just as your views on what players are better than others is also simply an opinion. What I put there is my opinion, and I did consider those players in reaching my decisions, so I'll keep my side as I had it, thanks. Given I can have Sachin and Gilly in the...

    Player in the opponent teams that you feared most

    Being an Aussie fan over the last 20 years, very few plays have held anything like fear. Even Sachin and Lara, you respected them but you backed McGrath against them. Funnily enough probably a couple of lesser lights in terms of the Indian team have been who have worried us: after Kolkota...

    Who is the most 'undroppable' player in the world?

    Chanderpaul and Sangakkara surely.

    A.F.L Thread

    I blame Grant Thomas for Richo's condition tbh. Although Thomas offering to break Craig Hutchence's jaw last night on Footy Classified almost endeared Grant to me. Hate that turd with a passion.

    Windies pace quartets overrated?

    Yeah, was thinking today that probably the only real equivalent to the ridiculous depth of the Windies bowling during their peak was Australia's batting during their reign. Having guys like Lehmann, Martyn, Katich, Hussey, Hodge, Law, Elliott, Bevan, and even Langer and Hayden who missed nearly...

    What's Your Aussie Ashes Squad?

    Sorry, was agreeing with you about Ferguson, not North in that post - forgot to quote. will edit my post to include the post I was quoting.

    A.F.L Thread

    Yeah, he needs to improve that part of his game, but even if he never becomes a great kick, if he can maintain the workrate and pressure he creates, and can at least become a decent quick handball, he will be a definite plus in the team. We have some pretty good kicks already, eg. Davis, Swan...

    Windies pace quartets overrated?

    Yeah, sorry, realised that once I responded - have already edited my post.

    Windies pace quartets overrated?

    Any reason to disqualify the Gabba match in that analysis, other than that the Aussies batted well? If you leave it in, and exclude the WIs innings where they chased less than 50 in the fourth innings, the average is 403 for the WIs, vs 250 for the Aussies. Still a big gap, but somewhat...

    Windies pace quartets overrated?

    But was that difference due solely to a difference in the quality of the bowling (which obviously accounted for a significant proportion of the difference) or did Viv Richards being a freak at the peak of his powers also play a notable role?

    All-time XI's (uber-nerd content).

    Read up on Aubrey Faulkner as well, while you're at it. The number 6 slot becomes fairly simple after that, IMO.

    All-time XI's (uber-nerd content).

    Done these all elsewhere in the past, but don't mind doing them again: England: Hobbs Hutton Hobbs Compton Grace Ames Botham Trueman Laker Bedser Barnes Australia: Simpson Trumper (my openers change everytime I do the Aussie team) Bradman G. Chappell Harvey Miller Gilchrist Warne Lindwall...
