    *Official* Road to the 2010/11 Ashes

    Personally, 'Ronald' McDonald appears to be a lot like his namesake Ronald Irani. Similar records too.

    And i saw bradman play....

    Can't even imagine anyone else coming up with anecdotes that could evoke as much warmth as your post above does. One of my favorite stories from a biography on Bradman was Bill O Reilly and Bradman playing against each other for the first time. Don scores 232 over the whole day and remains not...

    And i saw bradman play....

    ...not enough money to be earned from the game. Hence, my first coach was Wally Grout. I have played Grade with the likes of Ken Mackay, Your namesake, and still count among my friends Jeff Thompson and Wesley Hall who I played both with and against at Grade level. I have played on the SCG and...

    I walked past your namesake today, after watching him get 1, sad times.

    John Howard to head ICC?

    It is gonna go the way everything else in the ICC goes.. Decided on votes and backroom politics. But still don't think CA and BCCI would be stupid enough to let an issue like this get in the way of a mutually profitable alliance... Still sticking to my "BCCI using this as a...

    John Howard to head ICC?

    ...There surely could have been an opportunity when Aus and NZ were debating whether to put up Howard or John Anderson (who ironically is the namesake of Howard's former Deputy Prime Minister) to indicate to both countries that they would not endorse Howard if he was put forward. That would...

    Battle of the World Cup stars

    Yeah, not like Ronaldo was scoring all the goals or anything. I'd concede Rivaldo but there's absolutely no way that Ronaldinho was better in that tournament than Ronaldo. No chance in hell. Like I said earlier, Ronaldo's greatness hasn't been properly appreciated by his generation. His...

    Battle of the World Cup stars

    Not that an outlandish call, really. Everyone remembers the play acting now, but Rivaldo was Brazil's top boy (MHO, obv) and Ronaldinho was arguably more effective than his tubbier namesake too. EDIT Or what grecian said. :p

    Burgey's Allan Border Appreciation Thread

    I'm not saying de Villiers is a better batsman than Border. de Villers is a better ODI batsman and Border was a better test batsman. They are not that far apart as batsmen and I was arguing Burgey's post which said that even mentioning Border and de Villiers in the same breath is a travesty...

    Burgey's Allan Border Appreciation Thread

    ...for being a Test Cricket romantic who doesn't value ODI Cricket much, either way to be held in the same level as Border, what the younger namesake has to achieve is to play for 15+ years averaging over 55 in 150+ matches. I am not even bringing in the fact that AB was one of the best captains...

    Kane Williamson

    no irish opener he is considered to be better than tendulkar was at that age by the people in the know.

    Kane Williamson

    Ignore them Side-Kick, the unfriendly jerks. I understand you. Is this Kane fella actually any good? Or is he just being hyped up due to his namesake being a famous professional wrestler?

    Who Is The Second Greatest Batsman Ever?

    Henry VIII basically was basically Ian Botham, would have been great in his younger days. Elizabeth II no match for her namesake, she would have been great on any tricky wicket.

    Cricketing namesakes

    Not really a namesake as such but this guy got me laughing proper as he surely has the most number of famous cricketers included in his names ever.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Ryan Hinds? The ill-disciplined, persistent international failure? ITSTL. He's never even managed 19 in ODI cricket. Imran Khan? The guy who's never played an OD match? And is very much a bowling allrounder anyway. Leon Johnson's last proper cricket was last year. His last OD match was 2 years...

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Someone who doesn't need a zimmer frame perhaps? :laugh: what about his namesake Ryan Hinds? Imran Khan? Leon Johnson? just someone who might actually give the selectors something to think about rather than someone who clearly isn't gonna be in the next squad when the injured players return...

    Auction draft

    Lol, best post of the draft so far Nufan - now where's Don Bradman's namesake... Sorry, edit, best post alongside a certain draft contestant confusing Herbert Sutcliffe for Bert Sutcliffe. :p

    Should the ICC drop the two bouncer law?

    Would agree with this. I believe that the strict enforcement of the 'over head high wide rule' means that bowlers cannot be lazy and keep bowling short pitched deliveries to simultaneously dry up runs and intimidate the opposition batsmen. With the two bouncer law and this strict enforcement of...

    Should the ICC drop the two bouncer law?

    What's wrong with a little intimidation? Batsmen have helmets, armguards, shoulderguards, chest guards, thigh pads, gloves and pads to protect themselves with these days. I saw a clip recently of Lillee bouncing Viv 5 times and then bowling him on the final ball of the over with a very good...
