The first player younger than you to play for your Country
Test match cricket ... Ian Butler. Long tetired now, which makes it even sadder!

It was actually me who replied to you, not morgie haha. Memory ain't what it used to be. Whether or not you read this post is impossible for me to know, so I would generally assume you did.

Of course I did and of course, I forgot. Like I said, no one cares about country only nick names.

I mean that's fine, but I didn't lie about anything. Lara was called the Prince and that's obvious. But I'm allowed to use a little nickname a few of us used for one of my favourite players affectionately. Not sure what's wrong with that, really. Doesn't really hurt anyone, does it?

It did not. You were the one who responded needlessly aggressively to a genuine question. I am fine if he is called The Prince in this forum. Not like we fight about nicknames here or anything, is it?

I responded aggressively because it was not the first time you had done it. Seemed like a deliberate attempt to annoy.

If that is how you take every response, you got issues.

It might be a case of wisdom after the event, but I'm pretty sure I've heard/read a few Aussies, on CW and elsewhere, say his spell at Queensland made then suspect he might have a few issues against top class pace.
Looking at his record there (11 FC games; 47.57 average; 3 tons in 21 innings) it's very good, but certainly not Bradmanesque.

There was quite a bit of buzz around dear old Ian Bell back in the day too.
He went on a U19 tour to NZ when he was 16 (made runs too), went on a Loins/A tour to the Windies at 19 and was called up as cover for a full test tour back in the land of the long white cloud off the back of it.
Had a bit of a wobble for a couple of seasons, but then hit 6 tons in 2004 and debuted in the last test of that summer off the back of it.
Had a very decent career (certainly a lot better than Hick or Ramps managed) but maybe rarely dominated the way a chap of his prodigious gifts might've done.
