SS's posts in that thread never get old

It will be epic if TOTAB is actually ranked lower than 30 where Jadeja was placed in the bowlers' thread.

 

[Burgey]

It would actually be more justifiable than Jadeja being 30th in the bowlers thread tbh (imho anyway)

Underrated batsman Thorpe.

@DoG Is the gold/silver/bronze performance thing you used in the bowlers list no longer in the formula?

Yeah, it’s no longer a factor. I’ve decided to keep career and performances separate for now.

 

[ataraxia]

My predictions: no. 80; Border
no. 79; Jadeja

 

[Days of Grace]

Two Pakistani batsmen up next.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Saeed anwar and azhar ali?

 

[ataraxia]

Azhar then Zaheer.

 

[jaideep]

80:Azhar Ali
79:Zaheer Abbas

 

[mr_mister]
