Considering how attacking he was as a batsman in his early days, the most surprising thing for me is how ridiculously defensive he is as a captain
Leggies generally don't.Warne was a freak.
Works for him doesn't it? Yet to lose a test series as captain.
So just get the part timers to do it then. Of all the spin bowlers used in India, Hauritz had the worst economy.
You're the second person to mention him in this thread today. Wonder who the first one was.
But nah seriously, I'm a bit sceptical of O'Keefe. He took 7/35 against Sri Lanka A - I don't really know what to make of that because the pitch was spinning like a top and all the spinners took cheap wickets, but to be fair you'd expect Sri Lanka A to be fair players of spin. That skews his stats a little bit, although you haven't taken the current match against SA into account - he took seven today (across two innings) and actually averages 23 now. I'll he honest and say he really doesn't look much at all, but unlike Hauritz and Smith he's actually done something at least. If I was going to play a spinner for the Ashes it'd probably be him, tbh.
He was third.
McKeefe =/= O'Keefe. Also you were just copying me (how unlike you!He was third.
) so it doesn't count anyway. 
Na technically I was second, because McKeefe doesn't existHe was third.
Wow, you were onto that post like lightning!!McKeefe =/= O'Keefe. Also you were just copying me (how unlike you!
as long as it works for him i don't care....poting also tried almost the similar thing but was not that successful barring sehwag
Yeah, I do that.
Give him a primary school and he will be onto that like lightning too.
By far. Last day or two has been below par compared to the rest of the thread though. It was awesome during the first Test.
I wouldn't know anything about that.
Not a coincidence at all.I wouldn't know anything about that.
Yep.
