Greatest All-rounder if captaincy were to be included

[Jono]

No he wasn't a great captain, but he was a solid enough captain (if not controversial one with his declaration at Queens Park Oval against England) that if his allround skills didn't already make him superior to Flintoff and Pollock, he was a better captain than them surely.

Well Pollock was 14/26 including his last 5 in a row.

Makes his dropping look a bit suspect in retrospect, considering he had to pick up the reins after the Cronje debacle.

AND.......

As a result Keith Miller is the only Australian to play both cricket and Aussie Rules at the highest level.

Biggest Freak!

The only TRUE all rounder

Wouldn't Armstrong's VFL Grand Final appearance be on a par prestige-wise with interstate Aussie Rules?

He was dropped because he couldn't count tbh. Obviously the 2003 World Cup shambles and duckworth lewis mess on home soil was a bridge too far for the selectors.

Yeah he took the rap for that. Pity all the coaches on their laptops in the changeroom couldn't count either

Lol, it is one of the more weirder things I've ever witnessed in my time watching cricket. Was beyond words.

So amusing

So amusing

Was more sad.. tbh

 

[Jono]

If it happened to a prick it'd have been hilarious. But Pollock is such a nice chap, felt very bad for him.

It was still kind of amusing though

 

[GotSpin]

Meh,Saffies are all pricks though. Kind of like the poms.

As if it wasn't funny to see all the distress in the South African camp afterwards

u guys are unbelievable..

Actually agree with you fully on this post..

 

[Jono]

I still remember Pollock's face. A massive "oh ****, what have I done!?" moment.

 

[Furball]

So amusing

Thought this was in reference to Pollock being utterly smashed by the Australian batsmen in the group game in the 2007 World Cup.

THAT was amusing.

Haha well I was referring to people who were good, but yes you're right.
