**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[Furball]

Anderson is 101 points below Steyn in current ICC ratings.

Bowlers 101 points below Anderson are Zaheer Khan (who has remained injured every second day) and Shakib Al Hasan.

Are Steyn and Anderson comparable on class? No way.
Are they comparable on form? No (according to ICC ratings).

If the rankings have an equal gap between Steyn and Anderson, and Anderson and a bloke who's bowled in 3 Tests in the last year then they're massively flawed.

 

[Uppercut]

Great voice and good value when he's getting angry about the West Indies. Talks his fair share of ****e though.

 

[Ruckus]

Trott and Cook are such a solid pairing, quite possibly the best in world cricket. About as exciting to watch as Deal or no Deal, but nevertheless they give England such useful stability after an early wicket.

 

[Jarquis]

Played in Devon for Budleigh Salterton in 04.

Didn't even make a poll asking for the best Devon overseas

Some listed were -
JP Duminy (Exmouth) - He must of scored ****ing millions on that deck.
Stuart MacGill (Heathcoat)
Chris Rogers (Exeter and North Devon)
Aizaz Cheema (Cornwood)
Fanie de Villiers (Torquay)

All the debate over Steyn and Anderson is made kind of funny by Philander and Broad conquering worlds in the last 12 months.

 

[Spark]

Ho boy, that stare

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I think Holding adds a bit dynamic

 

[Jacknife]

Shot Cooky.

 

[MW1304]

Is that Cook's, like, 3rd six in his life, or what?

 

[Stumpcam]

Wow, did you see the Steyn stare at Morkel's fielding lapse?

 

[Spark]

Wait wtf?

 

[Furball]

The main thing I like about them is that they don't talk as much.

I swear 9 have a contractual minimum words per minute.

NZ version of Deal or No Deal used supermodels with low cut dresses.

I don't want to watch Cook and Trott in low cut dresses.

Hart played against Cheema apparently.

 

[Flem274*]

Cook did not just hit a six.

Natural order must be restored.

 

[Spark]

Think Steyn is on the verge of killing someone here.

 

[MW1304]

He is certainly playing a shot there, just late on it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Spark in post relating to Steyn's mental state shocker.

 

[Furball]

Ho boy, that stare

It's frightening.

 

[Jacknife]

Warne just said if he wasn't playing a shot the ball only has to be clipping to be overturned, I thought that was the rule.
