    Shane Warne seems to be in favour of a two division system Time to separate champs from the chumps

    Test only batsmen

    The reason why people (and I guess the selectors as well) think that Atherton didn't have a great ODI career is because of his strike rate. His ODI strike rate was only 58.64

    Test only batsmen

    Michael Slater's ODI Career 42 Matches, 987 runs@ 24.07, SR: 60.40, Ct: 9, St:0 2 Overs, 0 wickets, Econ: 5.50 Those stats wouldn't get you near the Australian ODI side these days. Though when he was picked in the ODI side, 99% of the time he opened with Mark Taylor who wasn't known to be a...

    Test only batsmen

    Yes you are right, he has played four matches. Richardson's ODI Career 4 Matches, 42 runs@ 10.50, SR: 43.29, Ct: 1, St: 0 I guess the selectors wanted to try him out. But as those stats show, Richarson is not an ODI batsman. The press were talking to Richarson after he scored 93 against...

    *Official* Australia in Zimbabwe Thread

    But don't forget that Australia had not played an international match for a while and were rusty. I think in the 2nd ODI you'll see Australia being back to their usual ruthless best.

    Test only batsmen

    Do you think the likes of Mark Butcher, Justin Langer etc. deserve the chance to play in ODI's? Butcher has never even played an ODI for England. If this was done say five years ago, I wouldn't have considered him in the ODI side. Though in recent years he has shown that he could perform as an...

    Bradman vs The others

    Sure the likes of Verity etc. got Bradman out more often than others, but in all reallity, there would be really no one who could stop the greatest batsman ever. Sure, possibly some of the great fast bowlers may have been able to get Bradman out, but IMO it would of been all too late as he...

    Williams has performed very well in ODI's so far this year (he is to date No.1 in my Australian Cricketers Rankings for 2004 ODI bowling).

    *Official* Australia in Zimbabwe Thread

    Zimbabwe 9/205 after their 50 overs. I'm not suprised that some of the Australian bowlers were rusty, though Gillespie bowled very well. It would be interesting to see the approach that Gilchrist & Hayden would have in chasing the total.

    Hussain retiring?

    I would be suprised if Hussain did retire, because previously I heard that he wanted to at least play 100 Tests.

    Goodwin

    I think there would be a few batsmen ahead of Goodwin (eg. Clarke, Hussey, Elliott).
