Crap players you don't want to see playing for your country

[PhoenixFire]

Does anyone else find the roll-eyes smiley disarming? He's smiling for crying out loud. You need a grumpy roll-eyes and a smiley roll-eyes - two completely different emoticons methinks. Smiley roll-eyes in a knowing-its-a-joke, but insulting to you sort of way and a Grumpy roll-eyes for ones where you're actually pissed off.

I'd be using the Smiley roll-eyes in this case.

But how to distinguish?

Good post btw.

Anyway - does a smile always = happy\friendly? A smile can be a deeply contemptuous thing.

Hmmm... True... So you think its a sarcy-smiley-roll-eyes then?? Possible, but certainly open for misinterpretation.

Stuart MacGill, Cullen Bailey, Brad Hodge, Travis Birt, Simon Katich.


Mind you, I was very, very wrong about Mitchell Johnson.

EDIT: On the choices - I know half of them aren't crap, I just don't want to see them play for Australia.

There are many terrible things about the Rolleyes - its open-for-interpretation-ness is merely one.

Now now, just because you hate me doesn't mean you need to drag the thread down to that level.

Shahid Afridi is the best player for Pakistan right now in ODIs.Remember he is a bowler first ,then a batsman.

The guy has two surnames for a name though.

Has the roll-eyes smiley conducted some hate/smear campaign against you in a past life, or even the current life? You seem to have an abhorrence for it extending beyond mere dislike.

It's by no means confined to me - I would give you some posts to check-out, but the stupid Search Function is STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dinesh Karthik(In ODI's)
VRV Singh
D.Mongia(However he joined ICL, Thank God)

 

[grecian]

Ramps, his time has come and gone and he was largely rubbish then
Plunkett, I just don't get it, poor mans Hoggy with the ball, negligible with the bat in Tests, now second change for Durham, where he should stay, imho.
Dalrymple, ordinary to a staggering degree
Kabir Ali, ditto

You're dead to me, Patrick

Was actually far less ordinary than plenty. Unfortunately was abysmally used.

Don't worry, myself and Martin have surely angered you worse still with our Vincent-bashing?

Pakistan:

Mohammad Sami
Naved-ul-Hasan
Salman Butt
Imran Nazir
Faisal Iqbal
Shahid Afridi
Kamran Akmal
Danish Kaneria
Iftikhar Anjum
Mohammad Hafeez

Bolded are not crap, and can be useful in one form or the other.

DWTA, MacGill, Hodge & Katich are class, wouldn't be all that upset to see them playing tests, even though i hate Hodge.

Agreed gun thread.

Anyone taking Patel's place (including Mills).

Also I don't want to see Martin in the side anymore, despite it being hilarious and liking the attitude, he's just good enough.

Mohammad Sami
Naved-ul-Hasan
Salman Butt
Imran Nazir
Faisal Iqbal
Shahid Afridi
Kamran Akmal
Danish Kaneria
Iftikhar Anjum
Mohammad Hafeez

Mohammad Sami - Largely very crap, potentially good in ODI cricket.
Naved-ul-Hasan - Crap.
Salman Butt - Potential in both forms, particularly ODIs. Should get more of a chance.
Imran Nazir - Total rubbish.
Faisal Iqbal - Mediocre.
Shahid Afridi - Good all-rounder in ODI cricket, shouldn't get near the Test side. Play him as a bowler who can bat/pinch-hit.
Kamran Akmal - Good for a start, terrible last year. Pakistan must have better options.
Iftikhar Anjum - Not a bad ODI bowler.
Mohammad Hafeez - Specialist spin bowler in ODI cricket? Possibly worth a chance. Give him a few more Tests.
