Best Batting Partner

Mo Yo (formerly Yo Yo)... He would run himself out, saving us the workload. And I would be able to make McGrathesque statements like "you owe me 50 test hundreds" or something like that.

 

[deeps]

Waugh of the Steve variety, or Shahid Afridi.

Would love to see the ball getting launched around the park, and not having to run much.

Regarding S. Waugh's run out drama's, i'm guessing alot would have had to do with the farming of strike which resulted in some tight calls.

Mark Waugh, have a laugh, relax. Batting's supposed to be fun.

Chris Martin, I don't like batting with people who are better than me.

Let's not spoil the for everyone, andy...

I'll have a piece of that.

 

[Jdz]

Ricky Ponting, it'd be a great honor, atleast.

Mark Waugh, have a laugh, relax. Batting's supposed to be fun.

And not watch where each other is running. Hey I hear those hositpal nurses are hot

One would think that the ideal batting partner would be someone who deals in boundaries as opposed to someone like Bevan who is far more likely to make his partner scramble all over the place as well as the fact that hes likely to be a lot faster than his partner(and probably have better stamina too).
So someone who is a safe runner between the wicket as well as deals considerably in boundaries would be the best batting partner, so i would guess that Pietersen, Afridi or Tendulkar wouldnt be a bad bet.

I disagree, personally, I hate when my batting partner is scoring faster than me (Bring on the 's!!). It puts pressure on me to increase my scoring rate, even though it's not neccesary, just a mentality I have, I hate being shown up.

But I also hate when it's up to me to do all the scoring, i think there has to be a nice balance.

But maybe in 3333333's mind, it's oh so horribly necessary?

*shudder*

A big exponent of the wingman, I'm guessing?

It's like shooting cans off a wall with you isn't it?

 

[Smudge]

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it...

Dean Jones......purely for the reason that it gives me the chance to whack him as hard as I could with the bat when we are crossing
