    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Concern yourself about your own learning- which obviously has a long way to go if mathematics were the criteria. I don't need a self-hater to be worried about my education.

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Do you understand the meaning of the word 'regular' ? Lara played 3 tests in 92. That is NOT regular. Because we are talking about Mileage. It is stupid to talk about Tests and pretend ODIs dont exist when talking about mileage. Yes. Playing one series in 92 makes him a regular for the...

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Owned. I would love to see a wannabe-Aussie who's more aussie than aussie trying to tell Marc about footy.

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    1 year from debut to debut, 3-4 years from becomming regular. Oh and another thing- if you are not up for the task to school me in math ( really- you are not up for it- really not), then don't make comments you can't back up, mate. I called your math skills a disgrace and i am willing to put...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    He didnt become a regular 3-4 years after tendulkar. Ponting debuted at the end of 95. 3-4 years from the end of 1989 doesnt make it 95. Really...get a goddamn calculator if this basic level of math is too challenging for you. Being a wannabe-aussie, i thought you'd atleast know English well...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    when it comes to you, stupidity seems to have no bounds. Tendulkar started playing when he was 16. Lara not till he was 24 as a regular. when you start playing as a 16 year old, its FAR more demanding on your body because your body is NOT READY yet. Not only has Lara played less than Tendulkar...

    I am willing to match my math skills with your's any day of the week even when half-sober. So bring it, chump!

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    And that makes it SIX years if you can count. So 4 years after Tendulkar != the same time as Ponting debuted. Need an abacus or a calculator to check that out ?? Lara didnt become a regular in Tests till 1993. That is four years from 1989. Err...no. Gretsky says exactly the same thing i said...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Lara became a regular in both forms of the game in 1993. Tendulkar right after his debut (ie, 1989). If my math skills arn't as wonky as Kazo's , then thats four years. So not only does Lara become a regular 4 years after Tendulkar, he is also 4 years older. Effectively meaning a lot less...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Math skills getting a bit wonky ? Tendulkar debuted in 1989. Ponting in 1996. 4-5 years after Tendulkar doesnt make it 1996. Let us not. Because it is falsehood. He debuted two years after Tendulkar. Didnt become a regular a couple of years after THAT. How predictable. You know more than...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Debut dates tell you only so much. But don't let that retardedness stand in your way. Lara debuted, played one test and didnt play another for nearly two years. He became a regular in both forms of cricket 4-5 years AFTER tendulkar Err no. Tendulkar has over 100+ ODIs than Lara and more tests...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Lara has a lot less mileage on himself than Tendulkar- Tendulkar has played for longer, and far more matches (slightly more tests and far more ODIs). Plus Lara didnt become a regular in both formats till he was 22-23 or so. Ie, when he was physically developed completely, instead of being...

    Is the Hussey magic over?

    Yes i've watched him bat and he is a remarkable batsman. Just that 40+ happens to be the domain of GREAT ODI batsmen - the Laras, Tendulkars, Pontings,Gangulys, Inzamams of the world and Hussey is not THAT good. He had an amazing start but i think if he has a long career,he'd end up...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    You've been around long enough to know that i am often accused of being too long-winded. So no, not too many words- i just dont agree with your version of events since i too, watched a lot of cricket through the 90s. Hayden was hopelessly outclassed back then because as i said, the guy has no...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    Pffft. Like...really. As i used to say before- this is just ultimately a small thing in grand scheme of things- a dude whacking a ball with a stick and another chasing it. If i were or am jealous/emotional about something, i think it'd have to be more meaningful than a sport.

    Kumble announces ODI retirement

    i think the reason bounce is rarely a factor today is because pitches are really a lot slower. So often, for most pacers, when you bowl it short, the ball tends to sit up much more than skidding through as in the past. But on true neutral wickets, bounce = deadly. As per Nadkarni- i think his...

    Is the Hussey magic over?

    Hussey, if he has a long career ( ie, approaching 100 tests and 200+ ODIs), i would predict him ending up as a between 45-50 averaging test batsman and 35-40 averaging ODI batsman.

    Kumble announces ODI retirement

    Richard, i can't believe you said that no bowler relies on bounce. Infact, bounce (especially if you are a paceman) is the singular biggest asset a bowler has outside of line and length. And i agree Powar is a straightforward finger spinner but he does have his bag of tricks. Particularly in...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    As Gretsky said - some of the lesser players are the ultimate masters of bashing substandard opposition. Hayden in that category. Swervy- i dont see how Hayden could've succeeded against any worldclass pace bowling attack. Front foot play only gets you murdered as an opener on decent wickets...

    Matthew Hayden- I mean come on, seriously

    So when i say two Ws or Donald-Pollock or McGrath-Gillespie or Cuddy-Curtley, i am talking in doubles and talking about 4 great fast bowlers in one team eh ? Look- i am not interested in rhetoric and obfuscation of the points i made directed back at me. One newbie bowler with less than 20...
