Invented the other day? :blink: I've been using that one for 3 years!

And I believe MOO actually counts as an acronym too. :p

An acronym is a type of abbreviation in my book.

And I'd never seen you or anyone else use it before until yesterday or the day before...

It's more of which cricketers he liked to watch, and play with and against the most. I wouldn't exactly take it as gospel. I mean, I don't think he really believes that Harmison and Donald are equivalent as players, regardless of how close they are ranked with each other....

Yeah I agree, I think its more about who he respected most and who he had the best battles with/against. Coz obviously May isnt fit to lace Donald's boots let alone be ranked above him.
I expect Laxman to be very high.

Yep, exactly - it's clearly the players that Warney admires or who he has seen at their absolute best. Which is why I'm thinking Akram will be so much higher than Waqar was, and why I think he'll place M.Waugh and KP much higher than he might if he was just ranking them as cricketers over the course of their careers in entirety.

I'm reckoning Laxman and Freddie will place very highly, as will Heals.

:laugh:

Here's a thought - I wonder if we'll see an appearance from Salim Malik? Obviously no love lost between the two, but Malik played some superb innings against him, none more so than the double ton in Rawalpindi in '94.

Wow nice pick up - I'd completely forgotten he ever played Test cricket for Australia.

I think I preferred it that way.

Hahaha.

Does he and Nathan Hauritz go down as Australia's most random Test cricketer's in the last 8 or 9 years?

Interestingly, though Young obviously only played the Test he played because he was fortunate to be in the country and hence is undoubtedly more random than either, surely his career ITE is likely to be far more notable than either Muller's or Hauritz's? Seems to have had seasons of reasonably good performance as opposed to Muller who IIRR got in on something like half-a-season of superlativeness, and Hauritz who got in because... well, I don't know really TBH.

Can't imagine I'll ever see someone who's looked less like a Test cricketer than Hauritz really. Devon Malcolm in 1989 might have done, but he came back a year later and performed borderline wonders (for all of 2 series).

LOL fair go to Haury. He performed pretty well on debut - yes Im aware Michael Clarke got 5-9 that day.

Wow, interesting stuff he said about Donald.

I think VVS and Freddie will make the top 10. Pietersen will be top 20 I reckon.

Tendulkar, McGrath and Lara top 5. Quite curious where he places Ponting, probably top 10 too.

Also wondering on Murali and Kumble.
