wow usman's 141 snubbed

There's something we need to talk about though: do MCG runs in those two seasons really count? How'd he go away from home?

I'm happy to level the same scepticism at Pucovski and Harris as well.

Definitely bears consideration, Junction Oval has been just as flat as well.

Would still easily take him over Burns

I'd take you over Burns and wouldn't have had a different position even before he had a mare to start the season so I'm easily sold on that one. MCG and Junction Oval definitely would've been too flat for Burns anyway.

I don't think we take the flatties Victoria have played on at home into account enough on CW though. Even this season when everything was in Adelaide they got to play on the flattest of the wickets there for both of their games.

i think i would take joe burns over most of the posters here tbh

Watched every ball of that. Garbage.

 

[Spikey]

paine made runs on that deck so I guess I'll have to admit you're right

When are you going to accept he will be remembered as one of our greatest and most admired captains.

Mad dog has dominated shield since moving to vic but half the games he's been down at 3/4 and not opening. Only real notable scores opening have been on decs so flat that tom cooper made 260* on them. Not to discredit him but his runs need to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Gnske]

You have to be good to score 260 though

Ehh, would usually agree with you but the decks where that extremely flat that getting out took conscious effort from the batsmen most of the time.

buddy, i accepted it a long time ago

what pains me is that certain people won't learn the right lesson out of it. they'll drone on about leadership and all that nonsense when really the lesson is that any bozo can be captain, stop making it seems like the most important job in the world.

The Australian captain is the most important job in the country apart from the Prime Minister. How could you have such disrespect?

 

[Spikey]

host of the 2gb breakfast show is clearly the 2nd most important job

Most? Who are the exceptions?

 

[Spikey]

well prince ews has got good bloodlines

 

[Nintendo]

Abbott bowling himself out of test contention at the moment.

 

[Teja.]

Usman is the 4th best batsman in Australia.

 

[honestbharani]

Wish we be so lucky. Our 4th best is probably Bumrah after the big 3 in the middle order.


Still think Mayank and Rahul will score lots of runs but seems we are not gonna pick Rahul.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good stuff from shami here. There's something very aesthetically pleasing about his action and release even when not at his best.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gets way too much hate on cw
