DWTA, he'd average 25 there tops. Technique =/= everythingReece Young could bat at number three if he gave up the gloves and Kane Williamson didn't stand in the way.
If he averages 26 are you going to claim this as a win or a loss?Rahane and Pujara to top Indian batting charts for tests within the next 3 years. Kohli to average ~30.
Will take this. Cook to beat him to it.Kevin Pietersen will become the first Englishman to cross the 10,000 run mark in Tests.
are you saying he'll precisely score 40 100s?Ricky Ponting will end his Test career having scored 40 Test hundreds.
Nothing gets by you, does it?are you saying he'll precisely score 40 100s?

Some pretty extravagant ones their.
Yeah you are doing well, looking forward to Bailey's opportunity soon to hopefully help me out.I won the Johnson bet, so it's 4-2 as it stands with 1-1 settled.
I too am hoping Bailey can help me out.Yeah you are doing well, looking forward to Bailey's opportunity soon to hopefully help me out.
Dhoni vs Haddin and Cook vs Smith have been close bets with the winner changing a few times. Man, I got lucky with Martin, thank you Bangladesh.
BTW Cabinet, I only just noticed your bets now and that Bresnan 300 Test wickets 5000 Test runs is the one I would have bet against!
I obviously think you are wrong! Any other bets mate??I too am hoping Bailey can help me out.
I don't think Sarwan will ever play again despite the fact that I think he's still comfortably one of the West Indies six best batsmen so that means Bailey would have to average more than 40.01. I don't think he's got it in him.
Ashton Turner will take more First Class wickets than Steve O'Keefe.I obviously think you are wrong! Any other bets mate??
This is not betting..Just saying your opinions on the current stateBetting on Indian cricket
1. BCCI will allow the review system once Sachin retires
2. Gavaskar and Shastri will continue to bat for Harbhajan until he retires from first class cricket
3. Harsha Bhogle will continue to write cricket columns as if he is THE pundit of cricket while in the commentators box with Gavaskar/and or Shastri will continue to be the school kid eager to learn from the 'masters' the most mundane aspects of the game
4. Siddhu will continue to display his loud dress sense, loud and bombastic sense of humour and corny 'philosophic' couplets and homilies while genuine cricket lovers tear their hair out since the man, if he talked only about the game in simple English, he is better than good.
5. BCCI will continue to terrorise world cricket, hold it to ransom while the greatest dumbing down of a cricket crazy public's literacy continues until the only way Indians can differentiate between cricket's shots is as oners, twoers, fourers and sixers and different balls as the one's that were dot balls and the one's that weren't
6. Sharad Pawar will continue to call the shots in BCCI irrespective of who holds what post till death do him depart.
7. Although the power of BCCI would go down the drain in no time if the world's cricket bodies showed some spine and called their bluff and stop yielding to their blackmail even for a couple of seasons, this will not happen until people with genuine long term interest of the game take charge in Australia, England and South Africa and deal with those who defy them the way BCCI dealt with Kapil and Zee TV's enterprise . . . but this won't happen for everyone involved in running the game has decided that even though the game is bigger than the individuals . . . money is bigger than the game . . . although the money may not last in the long run . . .
