Adam Gilchrist v Nick Knight OD batting

[Xuhaib]

Knight couldn't quite destroy attacks with the regularity that Gilchrist does either. I think Knight could quite possibly better compared to Hayden.

What he said.

 

[Perm]

So first Hayden <<<<<<<<<<<<, Hussain
Now Gilchrist <<<Knight.

What Next Mcgrath <<<<Gough and Waugh <<< Vaughan ?

Nah, I don't think Richard rates Vaughan very highly.

I thought what Richard said about strike rates was crap so I said it was crap...live with it. Why should I have to go into detail about something so obvious. I thought my reply was the most appropriate so I'll stick with it thanks

Haha, the most appropriate in the fact it was likely to cause an argument? You could've, and probably should've just said "I disagree" or something similar.

Nah, I prefer "crap" in this instance

Perm, you would argue with me if I told you the grass was green...

No, I wouldn't.

 

[Fiery]

No, I wouldn't.

Don't argue

 

[Perm]

SR is still very important in ODI cricket. Are you seriously arguing, "as long as his SR is 70+, it doesn't matter what it is"? ****.

I think what Richard is trying to say is that strike rate is largely irrelevant as long as it is healthy, 70+, which isn't too slow to hinder the team.

OK Richard Jnr

 

[Perm]

Yeah but the object of the ODI opener's role since 1996 WC has been to score as quickly as possible early doors.

Try telling that to Boeta Dippenaar, who despite scoring slowly was perhaps the best ODI opener South Africa have had in a while. More runs>fast runs.

Matthew Hayden, who has an average of almost 4 runs better than Knight? With a scoring rate that is faster than Knight?

Highlights your inability to have a decent discussion and lack of vocabulary, IMO.

Didn't he get dropped? Obviously wasn't doing the job in the right way in the opinion of the selectors.

You obviously din't see the thread he made about him then...

A lack of runs and the quota system that South Africa apply conspired against Dippenaar, nothing to do with his scoring rate though.

Care to point it out to me?

Highlights my apathy towards having "decent discussions" with some people more probably.

Oh how I would just love to give you a game of Scrabble some day Perm
