OS with the best post in Cricket Chat.Both pretty under appreciated. Jadeja's an incredible match winner at home, and Philander is flat out one of the best cricketers in the world... the greentop bully thing was never true and the tag only highlighted how most of this forum doesn't even watch test cricket when the so-called lesser nations are involved. Philander was excellent in a UAE tour back in 2014 and did a great job in SL as well even though his figures didn't reflect it. It's amazing how that one poor performance in Australia back in 2012 coloured so many people's opinions when the pitches in that series were some of the flattest imaginable.
No that's when excuses come out about how 50s are important too. He does not get even half the rebuke that Philander, Ashwin, Jadeja, Mahela have received for going AWOL and Philander doesn't even go AWOL on away tours*note: doesn't include basically this entire forum
Did you read the Aus in India thread? People were mad at him. Same when he was in SL.No that's when excuses come out about how 50s are important too.

That was only for England (where his record isn't even that bad). I don't think anyone has really defended his Asian record and he's copped heaps for it.No that's when excuses come out about how 50s are important too.

He's a finger spinner and despite all the facial hair, he's going to be shown as impotent away from the SC over the course of his career.There's no better way to get underrated in sport than to carry a bit of extra timber
Not sure what Jadeja's excuse is though - but don't think the Mephistophelian appearance helps - someone buy him a razor
Give up on this m8. It's tedious as hell.No that's when excuses come out about how 50s are important too. He does not get even half the rebuke that Philander, Ashwin, Jadeja, Mahela have received for going AWOL and Philander doesn't even go AWOL on away tours

No I wasn't on that thread but I'll take your word for it![]()
