Burgey

I also exclusively predicted Kohli would only last one test on this tour then head home.
 

Senile Sentry

International Debutant
Bowled well in one test, average in another, poorly in the third, absented himself from the fourth. Can’t last a series owing to lack of fitness and durability.

Once again, stocks in Burgey Inc continue to surge to record highs.
Meh, found the whole business a men vs boys thing and decided to even up by sending a boy in his stead in 4th test.

Can someone dig up burgey's post predicting ashwin's and jadeja's averages with the ball in this series
Apart from the mayank thing, this might be the dumbest prediction in cricketweb history. Genuinely astonishing how wrong everything is

Biggest failure (one from each): Starc (though he will perform well, just that everyone else in the side will excel); Mayank, Gill, Rahane, Pant, Ashwin, Jadeja, whoever the random Indian third seamer ends up being. can't separate them - will all be genuinely horrendous.

And the third seamer was horrendous. Shami & Yadav barely got through a test between them.

Once again, vindication for the investors in Burgey Inc

Literally every random Indian 3rd seamer combined to breach the Gabbatoir. :lol:
The random Indian third seamers were on the way home with their tails between their legs by the end of Melbourne. Another accurate prediction from Burgey Inc.

This post also quite an embarrassing display of stupidity when it comes to Ashwin/Jadeja, although atleast he's right that jadeja is a better batsman and fielder.

Jadeja will average 50 with the ball here this summer, assuming he's picked to begin with (which he should be imo as he is more likely to score runs than Ashwin, is a better fielder and Ashwin will be just as woeful with the ball).

Had Jadeja the skill to handle the short ball and actually last the series, he would have died in the arse in Sydney as Ashwin did and averaged 50 with the ball. The fact he lacked the ability to do so in no way vitiates my excellent prediction.

My dude, you and your mates are the ones trawling through my old posts in the vain hope of finding an inaccurate prediction. That you’re all bothering to do so is itself another win for Burgey Inc’s shareholders, who were tipped into the lucrative “watch Indian supporters waste their time disproving a point you’re not even seriously making” market.

I like this quote from ...... it wasn't Burgey, guess who?

"Pant would have been an awful selection. Massively inferior keeper to Saha and all his recent runs have come against a not-even-shield-quality Aus A team. He's a fundamentally flawed player in all aspects of the game who relies on his fantastic hand eye coordination and athleticism to get by. He shouldn't be near the Test team."

Still stand by this call of the mad culinary dissident. Bloke dumped a dozentop edges into the outfield in between hacking his way to good scores. Very fortunate but rode his luck well. Still a junk keeper, but I concede he has time on his side, owing to the fact he’s only 21 or so, despite looking like a 45 year old shop keeper.

I stand by that statement and am glad the cartwheeling mad lad pulled off an incredible pair of innings at Sydney and Gabba

We wouldn't have needed his innings in Sydney if he could catch tho. Has justified a run in the Test side purely has a batting prospect but is still a terrible keeper
