Just quietly, Ponting's career average is now below 55. He was up to 60 a few years ago, and Dravid was right behind him. Now, as we see with most players during their decline, it's now below 55, and might end up in the low fifties for both.

Ponting's average below 55 now. Anyone remember when he averaged 60 during the 2006 Ashes? He was God-like back then.

Now he'll be below Sachin soon, in runs, centuries and average

 

[Prince EWS]

Yes but at work

Ahh I see.

Just throwing it out there, what do we think is the under/over on career Test wickets for Watson? Do we think he will take 100 in his career?

168 and wicketless in his final Test.

I actually say 200.

I'm sure he's devastated that the best batsman of the last 20 years is slightly better than him.

1 away from 100 ODI wickets as well ftr.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I like your style. And that roll of coins in your pocket...

Laundry day?

It's always laundry day when you've got your shirt off babe.

Assuming Tendulkar's doesn't drop as well.

Hasn't had a great time of it lately with the bat has Ricky. A summer to forget for him so far.

 

[pasag]

Yay Hussey's in. Someone wake me up after he wastes two hours for 9 runs before leaving a straight ball.

Yeah need runs ffs, leaving it for an hour's not going to help anyone. Just get quick singles and let Watto keep the strike.

True. Gambhir so good.

 

[Goughy]

Really?

He is 28 now. Lets say he plays regularly for another 5 years at 8 Tests a year (possible injuries, lack of form etc) and takes 2 wkts a Test (which seems a fair number) then he will take 80 more to go with his current 23 to give him 103.

How do you work out 200?

It was a inside joke with Ikki tbh, but feel free to take it seriously if you like.

And by laundry I mean "I have a boner".

Family forum!

But yes.

 

[pasag]

These 55 runs seem miles away now.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Just throwing it out there, what do we think is the under/over on career Test wickets for Watson? Do we think he will take 100 in his career?

Absolutely. He's averaging about two wickets a test since he came back into the team, and that's about what he manages in FC cricket as well. That's not taking into account the fact that in a couple of those tests, and in his FC career plenty of times, he's played as a batsman. If he stays fit and has a career of reasonable length I could see him taking 150+.

 

[Burgey]

True. Gambhir such a ****

Fix'd

 

[Jono]

Lol.

Burgey next Christmas I'm getting you a Gambhir poster and some Murray Mints.

Worse than coal

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Can't possibly worse than Cashley.
