    WI all time XI vs Aus all time XI

    Besides the objections already raised, might be a bit hard with the modern restrictions on numbers of bouncers...

    WI all time XI vs Aus all time XI

    lol at Sammy's typically measured, reasonable and even handed efforts in this thread. Candidate for the most one eyed poster on CW? Bradman would find Marshall and Ambrose challenging - he might only average 60 against them. Give him a helmet and his supposed weakness against short fast...

    WI all time XI vs Aus all time XI

    Dismayed no one has even suggested Neil Harvey in discussing the Aussie middle order. Oh yeah, his career avg of 49 < 50 = no good. You would definitely want Miller in. In an all time team, where he would not have to be over bowled due to the presence of other great bowlers, his batting would...

    Anyone waiting for a Masuri?

    Thought this would be a tribute thread for Wally Masur tbh. Disappointed.

    Useless Clarke

    66 off 60 balls against the number 1 rated team on the world in his most recent dig. Clearly Clarke is a useless hack 8-). Expect that kind of cretinness from Precam but the rest of you?

    Can you play Cricket with one eye?

    Sounds like a bastardisation of what happened to Ponsford. At the start of WW2, he had a physical as part of joining the air force. Doc was surprised to discover Pon was red/green colour blind. He asked him "how did you bat not being able to pick red out from green?". Ponsford replied "I just...

    Ireland For Test Status?

    The Republic of Ireland isn't a real country? :confused:

    A.F.L Thread

    Loved last nights match so much. So good to see Rocca up and about again. Action Jaxxen Barham looked sensational on debut. I know some mates who watch all our VFL matches have been gagging for him to get a go. Loving the results of our bogan drafting policy to date.

    Bouncers in the old days

    Sounds right. Don't know why I thought he was playing for England.

    Bouncers in the old days

    It was Contractor that Griffith hit. Pretty saw one of miller or lindwall hit Compton badly at one point.

    Bouncers in the old days

    That's another one I believe. Was pretty sure this kid was English of Indian descent, and in his first few tests at the time. Charlie Griffith half killed some Indian batsman whose name eludes me - that's when the stuff about him being a chucker started to get nasty.

    Useless Clarke

    Generally abusive ones are too vague to convey that we know who he is. Maybe a picture of the proverbial sack of s*** with a slogan "Precam has no life or friends!" would do the job?

    Bouncers in the old days

    Geoff Lawson had his face rearranged by Ambrose in Perth wearing the old grill-less helmet. What was the name of the young English Indian kid who got hit in the head in the early 80s and came out to bat, Graeme Smith style with his head all bandaged up in the second dig? Vs Australia

    Ireland For Test Status?

    Against. World cricket is already suffering as a result of having to many substandard teams. Health of the current comp. is more important than pipe dreams of expansion.

    How many temporary bans...

    I'd vote for the hellbanning of Precam's account as revenge for his multis. Long live the Ministry of Truth!

    Go look up irony Alannis... My sig is no longer than yours or anyone elses, nor does it make my posts much longer than a sig-less post.

    Interesting stuff from SJS - thanks.

    A.F.L Thread

    Exactly, I'm quite happy to watch and read as much as is available about the actual game itself, its the bs re: players personal lifes, coaches possibly being moved on, board machinations, media feuds etc that I can't believe they think anyone finds interesting.
