    DoG's greatest test match batting performances

    It's almost like they've been playing test cricket for 100 years before you were born or something... :happy:

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Was talking chronologically actually.

    Jumping the Shark Draft

    Wow - so you'll have John Waite or Benaud batting at 10 for you at the moment...

    Middle order for Post WW2 Dream XI

    Richards @ 3, Sachin @ 4, Chappell @ 5 Sobers to win the number 6 poll in a canter

    What if?...

    Would the old ball get newer each over, like Benjamin Button, until the two balls were briefly the same age?

    Post WW2 Dream XI

    I'd have guessed that Hassett and then Harvey took the #3 position once Bradman retired in most cases.

    Caption This: Sachin and Yuvraj

    Yuvraj carefully positioned the lifesize cardboard cut-out Tendulkar and hoped that his cunning ruse would fool his opponents.

    DoG's greatest test match batting performances

    I'd be tempted to reverse the weightings of runs scored and other batsmen's average - what this doesn't capture, IMO, are the amazing innings played on minefields where someone like a Trumper, Hobbs, Harvey etc survive and made some kind of score when everyone else got shot out for single...

    A.F.L Thread

    Weird thought for late at night procrastination while trying to avoid packing - funny how so many of Geelong's guns have double-letters in their name: Ablett Scarlett Selwood Mooney Ottens EDIT: ****, might be the lamest post I've ever made...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Don't know whether there's much closet-ing going on with Benny. The guy is not a tradie but drives a ute and is from Tasmania...

    The Lunch Break

    Yeah, there should be scope to move it to fit around the good weather - a rule that play can't extend beyond two hours without a break, but that the break can be as short as 15-20 mins, and taken only after two hours of play - if because of rain they don't start til 11:30, then lunch is at...

    Choose Australia's attack for the Ashes

    Pointless this far out, unless we're talking purely hypothetically "everyone fit and firing", in which case, I'd take Johnson Lee Clark McGain Watson 12th: Siddle Unless Lee is absolutely back to his best however, I'd prefer Siddle in the team. And it's a steep road from here for Lee to get...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Yeah, the chain clearly goes Gillespie, Symonds, Siddle, with Ponting holding the position of Bogan Emeritus for the team.

    Superman weeps

    It is a good read, but it was striking how plagued by doubt he was. To hear him tell it, he was pretty much convinced his entire career that he was somehow a fraud who was going to be exposed - and in 2005 that exactly what he felt had happened. At the peak of his peak, he read a comment by...

    Ashes vs other cricket

    Exactly. Sport is one field where Australia likes to feel that we can genuinely play with the big boys. And 200 years on, although much more dilute than was previously the case, Mother England remains the benchmark against which we measure ourselves in lots of ways...

    Ashes vs other cricket

    The question is more one of the culture/values of two particular fan bases, rather than their knowledge of cricket. But if you consider yourself an Australian fan, go for it - was yanking Hak's chain a bit.
