Re: West Indies in Australia Actually most times I watch Afridi he gets a start but doesn't convert it. Our tail is strong enough to do without Hopes, even though he did okay today, I don't believe we should accept mediocrity.

Re: West Indies in Australia Totally agree. What we saw on Friday night was very, very entertaining, and good cricket players can survive that kind of bowling. I doubt Runako Morton would've last very long with 160km/h coming down at him, but I suppose they wanted the game to be...

Re: West Indies in Australia He's never done it in one of his matches, but he is the sort of player who will? Let's keep him in because maybe once in 100 matches he might chase down the last 15 in an over, but only maybe. Boris you have a habit of trying to list something as factual when...

Re: Pakistan in Australia Don't have to be a dirty slogger to be a successful T20 player.

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? Apparently the great G.McGrath was one of the worst sledgers going around, he was so brutal with it that he would actually abuse the batsman, calling him everything under the sun. Nothing witty, just abuse. No one cares too much about that though because he...

Re: Just want an opinion. The big hairy.

Re: Pakistan in Australia I'd agree with that. Although I'd say Smith isn't THAT much of a "hacker".

Re: Shahid Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering Boxing Day Test, second day.

Re: Pakistan in Australia Edited for accuracy. White is a slogger, although a very good one at that. I personally would rate Smith and White the same on the slogging style of things, although White is the superior batsman (which you would expect, given their ages).

Re: Australian ODI XI - Selection Thread lol!!!

Re: Australian ODI XI - Selection Thread Just because he likes them in the coloured format doesn't mean he thinks they shouldn't be dropped from test level. Siddle and McKay are proving to be pretty good at the OD format (especially McKay).

Re: Pakistan in Australia ^^ Agreed.

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? Actually played my fair share of games in the reserves and one at the top, but thanks for the sneaky insult. :p It shouldn't make a difference, when it's hot, I wear singlets. When it's hot people like to wear less restricting clothes. Would you blame him if...

Re: Pakistan in Australia I'm agreeing with you. *facepalm*. You took my saying he wasn't young as in me saying that I don't want old guys in the team!

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? SS' Watson hatred shines through once again. I can tell you I've worn singlets, thongs and shorts when I go out to shake the oppositions hands, I don't think they'd take it as being cocky.

Re: Pakistan in Australia I never said there was anything wrong with his age, was just suggesting you shouldn't be bandying around the term youngster like you have been supporting him this whole way. I said I was impressed with him did I not?

Re: Pakistan in Australia He's not a youngster he's 30. Nonetheless I'm very impressed and should be retained in the side ahead of Siddle IMO.

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? Winning cricketer of the series and averaging around 70 since coming back from injury says otherwise.

Re: Pakistan in Australia And this time last year we were destroyed by South Africa. I'm more of the opinion other teams are struggling rather than us excelling.

Re: Pakistan in Australia They find a way of winning because they're playing against a side that looks like it's just learned of the game of cricket. Sure Pakistan are meant to be a good one day side, but they lack consistency. When we dominate against a good ODI team I'll agree with you.
