No cricketer in the world has more underserved fan support than Wiaan Mulder except Will Young. That is all.

Andrew Symonds is a legitimate fifth bowling option in ODIs

An apt post for this thread.

Please ignore the typo.

Mr Pilch/Pitch's figures were quite something.

Described as, "the greatest batsman ever known until the appearance of W. G. Grace", he actually averaged 18 with the bat, and 1.35 with the ball.

In spite of his remarkable bowling average, he only bowled some 112 overs in 229 matches. He took a wicket every 4.7 balls.

Must have been playing on uncovered pilches?

Pitches were not covered regularly until the 1960s.

 

[Brook's side]

For the next few seasons he enhanced his reputation and, in 1833, accepted the challenge put forward by Tom Marsden of Sheffield, to play any man in England at single wicket. The first match was played at Norwich, on July 18. Pilch won convincingly by an innings and 70 runs dismissing Marsden for 7 and 0 and scoring 77 himself. The return match was played at Sheffield on August 5, 6, and 7, and again Pilch was successful scoring 82 and 106 against Marsden's 26 and 35. Over 20,000 people attended.

Cant wait for the sn Halver Pilch.

Just like to pop in to say I'll be ignoring this.

Haha. That bowling average is fake – it's all his wickets, divided by the runs he conceded in the few matches in which innings analyses were recorded.

They didn't write about how I was cryogenically frozen and later moved to NZ from where I now post on a cricket forum.

I'm still astounded that he's called Fuller Pilch and not Fuller Pitch.

I still astounded you don't like Sanga - one my favourite players ever.

@Red_Ink_Squid knows why though

I don't know why you like him so much.

He's a complete **** and not even a very good player. Surely there are other players more worthy of your admiration.

This thread should be on CC so that more posters can ignore it.

Genuinely thought you were talking about Fuller Pilch there at first.

I'm not supposed to share for legal reasons. ...but it's probably fine to post it in the thread everyone is ignoring as that's not really a public space.


Anyway, my understanding is that when applying for his lucrative media gigs Sanga claimed on his CV to have won the 1997 "Mr Sri Lanka" bodybuilding pageant and this was significant in him successfully getting these high profile, high earning jobs.

Himann says that he actually won that competition and Sanga came only 4th. But all official records have been lost. There's a law suit ongoing.
