Long term bets..

[Furball]

Quentin de Kock will finish his career having scored less than 15 Test centuries.

 

[indiaholic]

I will happily take the other position. 20+ imo.

That's pretty much calling him out to be the greatest keeper batsman ever. Gilchrist had 17.

 

[indiaholic]

Nah I expect him to do a Sanga and leave the gloves after some time.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Trent Boult to overtake Hadlee as NZ's highest wicket- taker in tests

Nope.

 

[Burgey]

When a guy like Allan Border can be justifiably left out then Smith will need years of stellar performances before he can be picked in that side.

Jesus Christ I just saw this post. WTAF man?

 

[Furball]

Bradman
G Chappell
Ponting
S Waugh

is a legit middle order for an all time Australian XI off the top of my head. I'm sure there's a couple of others who I've missed out.

Border's an absolute giant of a player but Australia's all time stocks are just that good.

 

[Burgey]

Border > Waugh imo. Taught him how to be a hard ****. Take your point though, it's a close run thing.

Would have both Ponting and Border over Chappell as well, controversially to many I suppose. GC picked and chose his tours a bit too much for my liking, though that happened a bit back then

 

[akilana]

QDK to have 15+ hundreds before he turns 30.

 

[Furball]

No.

 

[akilana]

Yes

Yes to the first, no to the second.

 

[Malleeboy]

Depends if you want your number 6 to bowl, most Australians put Miller at 6 to give 5 genuine bowlers.
Waugh is the best bowler over GC, Border and Ponting.

anyone direct me to where i can read about this?

 

[Furball]

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

Reckon he can hit the latter landmark without hitting the former.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Reckon he can hit the latter landmark without hitting the former.

Easily, think he will do 20+ and 10000 to be honest. Then his back will go and his exit will be like Clarke's was for the Aussies.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

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.

This will be close. Bowling no but so far ahead on batting does it counter it?

Prince EWS and myself have made some long term bets regarding Cricketers.
I just thought it would be good to post on here so we have a record of it.

The bets are written in my favour so if these things happen I win, if they don't Prince wins.

These are the bets that we have come up with.

- Mitchell Johnson less then 1 test hundred
- Dale Steyn will average over 25.00 with the ball
- George Bailey will average more then Sarwan in Test Cricket (Bailey must play a test).
- Chris Martin to make a test match 10
- Mahendra Dhoni will average more then Brad Haddin at test cricket (Haddin must play a test).
- Alastair Cook will average more then Graeme Smith in test cricket
- Yuvraj will average 40 in both forms of the game


More bets to come..

Looking at those now, I'm certainly on the wrong side of more than a couple. Oh well, fun anyway.

Ended up on the right side of most....
