Hmm long tail.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's why you pick Pollock.

 

[Prince EWS]

Would much rather have klusener than Symonds tbh.

It depends in which context for mine. For a regular ODI team I would too - I think he was a better player in reality - but if we were picking some time travelling fantasy ATG type team to play another team of similar quality I'd probably rather Symonds. Against ATGs Klusener would have to bat seven or eight and his bowling wouldn't be much better than part-time IMO, and that'd leave him firmly in norounder territory. I think Symonds could at least fudge his way in as a batsman at that sort of imaginary level.

Ahead of?

 

[trundler]

Pollock's unflattering record in WCs goes against his inclusion at this level IMO. Surely an ATXI would be a step up from World Cup matches

I like how the first few pages is just fatshaming poor Mark Cosgrove.

CW has a lot to apologize for.

I thought the fat-shaming was directed at Robbie Frylinck:

 

[TheJediBrah]

He's not fat, just slightly overweight with a large frame

That's what fat is tho.

Classic CW wit on display.

Dan Christian

Why the sombre cricket career for him for a man that had so much potential.

 

[Borges]

Who is this Dan Christian? Yet another superstar of the Australian IPL?

Basically, yeah. Another T20 'sensation' that'll die down soon probably.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He isn't that good.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If he was from any other country he'd have played 100 Tests and taken 500 wickets @ 22 and made 10,000 runs @ 60

 

[stephen]

He was always rubbish for the Heat. Seems to do well against them though.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I like the use of 'sombre'

 

[Burgey]

I'd say that's pretty much on the money tbh.
