Chris Martin replaces Tuffey

[Prince EWS]

at Liam and Rob here, TBH. It's something that can never be truly resolved. Myself and tec had this-'un 50 or 60 times.

Well I gave up fairly quickly, once I realised that we essentially had the same opinions on Butler but disagreed on how the word "potential" should be used. Not only is the argument unresolvable as you said, but it's also unfit for a cricket forum and completely unimportant IMO. For the record, I still disagree with him, but it's not worth it.

Butler actually reached A level status with Northern Districts last year, and knocked up a couple of centuries too - with the bat, that is.

Butler has been playing for ND this year

On the back of his 425* the other day, of course he does!

Yeah, and he followed that up with 10-31 with the ball

 

[Zinzan]

From what I saw of him, pace was the only basis of his potential. There are many quick bowlers who will never amount to anything, so I wouldn't say he had "quite a lot of potential".

I can only assume you saw very little of him before his injury then

Maybe not. I was only 5 then.

Butler - the next Richardson?

 

[Richard]

Richardson was left-handed.

 

[Prince EWS]

Richardson was left-handed.

He still is.

 

[Richard]

I thought he swore never again to pick-up a cricket-bat and devoted his time exclusively to racing?







Ah... no... that was Nasser Hussain...

Hussain like Golf TBH.No mention in his book about racing.

 

[Richard]

Richardson was the racer. The slowcoach-racing, remember?

Wasn't referring to Hussain with the racing.

Against Gilo!!!!. .What were you refering to Nasser about?.

 

[Richard]

Hussain said he'd never pick-up a bat again unless he was shopping the day he announced his retirement.

Richarson raced someone from near enough every team - not just Giles for us. Kaneria for Pakistan, Lehmann for Aus, McKenzie (!!) for SA... etc.

Even if that was the case, it doesn't change the fact that he's left handed.

 

[Richard]

It means he was a left-handed bowler\batsman, though. Not is.

Anyway - not really important.

He still is left handed though - whether he bats or bowls. Or even has for that matter.

And you're right, it's not important, but you know better than anyone else that it can be irresistable to post when you know you still have something to add...

 

[Richard]

Yes, I do indeed - that's why I said we better leave it there before we start going round in completely pointless circles again. Just to demonstrate that we now know better than that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Fair noof...

 

[Richard]

Copycat.

 

[Prince EWS]

Copycat.

Hypocrite.
