Look mate, we know you're going ot England in January and all, but FFS, this is ridiculous.

Ranji (anti-Swann vote)
Trueman (with apologies to Richards)

 

[Prince EWS]

Look mate, we know you're going ot England in January and all, but FFS, this is ridiculous.

Haha, I've been pro-Swann for a while. If you think I'm bad now, just wait until I'm over there.. I'll make Corrin look like Streetwise.

 

[Jono]

Lol Burgey, love your hate for Prince's pro-Englishness. Genuinely makes me laugh.





Also Prince EWS following Pauline Hanson to England

Get your eyes off my spot, I've worked hard for it

You shouldn't be laughing mate, this is a serious thing.

Now Cribb's a good egg and all, and trust me I have a very, very real appreciation for things English. Very real.

But mate, how any Australian can countenance the thought of a pro-England stance on anything cricket is beyond my limited powers of logic to understand. I'd live there in a heartbeat, but I would can the living crap out of their cricket team forever and a day if I did. Just couldn't help it.

Round Two, Battle Three

Victor Trumper (1877-1915)

3,163 runs in 48 Tests for Australia; 16,939 runs in 255 first-class matches
By 1915, heralded as the finest batsman in the world
Scored runs at a blistering pace for his time (strike rate estimated at 68)
Amassed 2,570 runs on Australia's 1902 tour of England - nearly double that of any touring compatriot

Dennis Lillee (1949-)

Among the world's best bowlers for a 15-year career
Broke Lance Gibbs' record of most Test wickets, despite nearly two years in World Series Cricket
10/127 against West Indies at Melbourne in 1981, helping a 58-run win; West Indies only drew the series after Lillee broke down

What these blokes said - in a Battle of the Cricketing Images, that would take some beating.
