    Highest Run Scorer.

    I think Hayden and Gilly have a lot to prove, but while Gilly may do well, I doubt he'll be the highest run-scorer. Strauss I'd expect to do fairly well, too. I'll vote for Hayden.

    Being a Wrestling smart

    You completely wussed out with that part in brackets and gave everybody an out clause, so I doubt there'll be a backlash. :) FWIW, I agree. I watched it a bit back in the 80's, but after a while I'd had my fill of grease-covered rough trade squirrel-holding each other and doing panto.

    Which is more difficult to bowl - pace or spin?

    I guess it depends on what skill level we're talking. I generally think it's easier to get to a level of adequate competency with spin than it is pace (witness how many part-timers can look quite tricky given the right conditions), but on the other hand, mastering the art of spin at a very high...

    Is Lehmann Stylish?

    Not particularly stylish in terms of aesthetics, but could be very imaginative and often showed a deft hand against the spinners.

    "Racist"

    To an extent, it's true. The person that insists he's above prejudice is likely deceiving himself.

    No Asians ?

    TEC was probably right about the man for man comparison between Australia and South Africa back then. It's that intangible mental ability to go over the top and excel in the crunches vs fading off or having brain explosions that divided the teams when it came to the big games, which he did...

    "Racist"

    It tends to happen when accusations of racism fly about. Let it go.

    "Racist"

    Well, it's obvious that the two of you have a special relationship, but they do say you only hurt the ones you love. But yeah, his temper can have a tendency to result in Lou Ferrignio like cameos.

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    Haha, maybe. I wasn't around back when that happened. But even though Gangs did annoy me at times, I actually admire his ability to get under the opposition's skin, and I've often likened him to Ian Chappell in that regard (and I don't think there's any question that it's what he was doing...

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    I think the only way to truly resolve this is for Today Tonight to do a National phone poll.

    "Racist"

    Dunno if this was addressed to me, but my comment wasn't having a go at you, mate - you already attempted to reassure Sanz that you didn't think he was a racist, so I didn't see it as an attack on him personally. I just had a difference in interpretation as to some of the remarks. I agree that...

    "Racist"

    I'll defend Sanz, 'cause I like him, and I don't believe him to be a racist. Firstly, the word "majority" was eliminated from his quote - while it's a weasel word, it does make a difference. Secondly, I don't think he is insinuating that the entire Western world is "uncivilized" - the...

    Fans v.s oldie

    Potential is high for Fletcher to go from Hero to Zero pretty quickly this tour. Does he really think that Giles will offer such a significant obstacle in England's tail? The worst thing is that if Gilo does play and makes a couple of solid 30's or something, Fletcher may well feel affirmed in...

    Ads for the Ashes

    Haha... Yeah, I know it's TIC and deliberately OTT, but that still doesn't make it funny or amusing. Just had me rolling my eyes and I've seen "The Right Stuff" thing done far too many times for my liking. Didn't mind the last one Laurrz posted - you have to cut off the search part of the link...

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    The thing that still gets me about that presentation is, how on EARTH did Watson pinch the MOM from Bracken? I was absolutely shocked.

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    I kinda wonder at the purpose of asking me how other people would react, but in general in Australia, this kind of thing isn't taken that seriously, because of the whole larrikin ideal. Granted, I could see a section of the media trying to beat it up, and you may even see a section of the...

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    Eh, maybe. I guess I just don't get it. Sincerely, it's not like I'm averse to criticising the Australian team's behaviour, particularly Ponting. But I really think there is nothing in this. I guess we will just have to disagree on this, 'cause my purpose is certainly not to ridicule people...

    Sachin reacts to the presentation

    Well, they were laughing, and he appeared to take it in good humor. Reversing the situation is kinda pointless, given that this is obviously something of a cultural difference (and I'm being a bit generous with that assessment, 'cause obviously there are Indians not offended by it at all). I...

    Ads for the Ashes

    I've seen that first ad on TV, and it's freakin' awful, IMO. Too po-faced and stupid. I'd rather something with more sporting action in it or humor. Or a decent jingle or something.
