Have to agree here. I've been calling for Burgey to be given a perma ban for a while.It's a captains call....

No.. most of the time it is the batsman's call...It's a captains call....

That Smiley is not a license for mischief making.Not come across a post with before?
True.Proneness to injury is a big concern at this stage though. Plus he'll probably get jealous of Sreesanth's general awesomeness when he the selectors wake up; that could effect his game.
I have never seen it reported like this " Batsman A elected to send the night watchman in for the last few minutes". On the other hand i have always seen "Captain A elected to send the night watchman in"No.. most of the time it is the batsman's call...
I have no idea what you are talking about
Is this where we start throwing wild accusations around as to the possible former identity of the suspiciously familiar seeming new poster?
Well, we managed two days. From what my lurking tells me, a fine effort.Yeah this thread has been far too pleasant. Let the games begin!
yeah.. because having a night watchman go in with an over or two to go is what defines cowardice.. Really.. So Sachin said he ll go in tomm morning and let a night watchman play out the 2 overs left.. big deal!!!I have never seen it reported like this " Batsman A elected to send the night watchman in for the last few minutes". On the other hand i have always seen "Captain A elected to send the night watchman in"
Look, it may be or it may be isn't. But to imply that a batsman who has played for 20 years scoring at an average of 55+ is a coward is just third rate mischief making.
Should have a Test World Cup in England. Only let the top four or five play it to cut down the ridiculously long time it'd otherwise take. What a great couple of months of cricket that'd be.Would be nice seeing these two teams going head to head in England.
Deserved a siggingWell, we managed two days. From what my lurking tells me, a fine effort.
EDIT: Haha, sig'd already?
That's EXACTLY what that smiley is.That Smiley is not a license for mischief making.
TBF, in India, Ponting is the nightwatchman.Haha now Dravid slashing at a wide one last over. Weird as.
Sobers, Ponting, Lara, Kallis, Viv et al never needed a nightwatchman at 2-100 on a featherbed like this either.
Just saying...
Paine certainly wasnt the best batsman out of the keepers playing fc cricket in Oz last year so credit to the Oz selectors for recognising his talent/temperamentMight be an incredibly dumb idea, but if Paine really succeeds with the bat over this series, perhaps he could slot into the no.6 position instead of North and Haddin back into no.7 with the gloves.
