Long term bets..

[Cabinet96]

Steve Smith has a British passport. It's on I reckon.

Four year qualification.

Might even be seven years now, actually.

 

[Prince EWS]

Four year qualification.

Might even be seven years now, actually.

"English legspinner" != "Legpsinner playing for England".

Given I've had to make two posts qualifying my joke though it's officially terrible. Thanks.

 

[Spikey]

while we're here we may as well make smitteh the subject of a long-term bet.

 

[Jarquis]

No they won't.

ok then.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Root to get 20+ test tons and over 7000 runs.

 

[theegyptian]

Just for Grecian.

Ben Stokes to play 80+ tests for England. Score 8+ test centuries. Take 140+ wickets. And have better stats than Flintoff in test cricket.

 

[jackbyrne91]

Moeen Ali to score five centuries for England before the end of 2014.

 

[Hurricane]

David Warner to average less than 40 in his career and be dropped again within two years.

 

[Flem274*]

That's brave. I'll take you up on that. The guy is the goods.

Done.

Should give the Starc vs Boult thread a bump tbh

Will get trolled big time tbh.

 

[hendrix]

If Tom Latham is selected as an opener in test match cricket he will be averaging >40 after 15 tests. His career average will be >40.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Given how badly all our good batsmen start off their careers that's a brave one imo

 

[Hurricane]

His FC avg isn't even 40.

 

[hendrix]

His FC avg isn't even 40.

Take me on then!

 

[Hurricane]

Take me on then!

Fine its a bet. Opening the batting and averaging 40 would be an incredible performance - and right now I question his big game temperament. He will get accustomed to International cricket eventually but right now he is overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

 

[Flem274*]

You're having a laugh if you think he'l be averaging 40 after that many tests. I don't think he even averages that for NZ A, and a cynic would say he's progressed further and faster than someone like Craig Cachopa or Jeet Raval (who both have better stats and in Ravals case, are just better) because of his last name.

Good luck to him though, because we need more than KW in the generation below Taylor, Jesse and McCullum.

Already in the bet with Albi now but it will be good to deliver the tasting.

 

[Howsie]

Tim Southee will be a top five test bowler by his 26th birthday.

It's on.
