    South Africa team selection

    Bavuma is guaranteed a spot regardless of how many times he has failed. He doesn't have a higher ceiling to be persisted with.

    The other Steve Smith question - Who would you try and get him out ?

    This one has potential. Let’s grab some popcorn.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    That’s how I felt when watching many other ATG bowlers bowl. He is one of many contenders for the best bowler ever title but people act like he was the bowling equivalent of Bradman.

    The other Steve Smith question - Who would you try and get him out ?

    Sir Roundness got him out 5 times in 6 innings. So probably him.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Ok. Can’t remember much from the series except some posters here complaining about the pitches being tailor made for philander after Abbott destroyed Australia.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Was it his knock in the dead rubber? If so, it’s hardly special to score runs after your team already lost the series. The pitches were tailor made for hazzlewood and co and they should have been able to exploit the conditions better. SA had an average batting line up especially without AB...

    Stokes vs Perera vs Lara Ranking

    I’d go with the order too. Tbf to Stokes, the Australian attack is operating at ATG level for awhile now. You could easily argue for Lara’s innings to be better than Perera’s as there was a genuine rivalry between the sides and WI were expected to beat Australia. There was much more...

    Seems like you’re still trying hard to fit in.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    His opinions on non-Australian players are usually terrible

    South Africa team selection

    An average of 33 means the player is consistently rubbish and that’s not good enough to win test matches. He is also selected in t20 squad. lol

    South Africa team selection

    Not expecting Bavuma to do anything? He had way too many chances and excuses. He is the one that needs to step up. If selection was on merit, he would still be competing for a spot.

    Shane Watson vs Andrew Symonds (ODIs)

    Symonds maybe worth more to a team of your choice but he wasn’t a better player than Jayasurya. Regarding the OP’s question, Waston was a better player than Symonds.

    Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket

    He also took more wickets and more 5 wicket hauls in fewer matches.

    Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket

    Don’t know what you trying to get. Steyn was a better bowler than Ambrose.

    Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket

    Rabada what? See number of test for example.

    Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket

    2008 was even better.

    Dale Steyn retires from Test cricket

    Sad to see a young and promising fast bowler retire early at 23.

    Yousuf Yohana, Vaughan, AB

    1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

    Given his short comings, what else could he have done. Go hard from first ball and score 20 off 10? Batting is about partnership and they were still in it till Jadeja got out.

    Role of rain in semi final line-up

    Your posts have been terrible here. I guess you’re countering stupidity with stupidity.
