Why not Barlow? Or even Katich?
Jayasuriya was a great ODI opener, but fairly mediocre in tests.

That's obviously not accurate lol you've read the stats wrong somehow

I’m aware it’s probably wrong but I didn’t look further than where it’s actually listed, hence not including him

Outside of a year or 2 around 2003-04, Simon Katich rarely bowled. He was a handy part-timer but not a regular bowler like Jayasuriya was

@JBMAC presuming I'm looking at the right figures, I would love to know the story behind those two balls you bowled in a match.

I did find the match but I’d rather hear it from the man himself

 

[Coronis]

@JBMAC don’t keep us hanging

I wouldn’t be calling it ROW tho. I’d be calling it leftovers. Or underdogs if you wanted to keep the teams motivation up.

I did think of that, but sounded disrespectful. And that team can beat any of the other 2.

why no gilchrist on 99games?

 

[Victor Ian]

i really hate the way people pick Sangakara as a wicket keeper.

Speaking of the ****, i was washing my hands in the sink the other day and his lookalike washes his hands in the one next to me and shook his hands dry flicking his hand water all over me and my face. While i thought WTF, the wanker washed them some more, just to be sure, and did it again. Seriously. Just an all-round unpleasant guy - even his clones.

Why did you pick Knott instead of Gilchrist?

Forgot him.

I don't normally do it just don't rate Boucher much and he was the only alternative.
