    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Surely not serious? The same Dave Warner that has played 9 first class matches and got both of his 2 first class hundreds against Zimbabwe??? I respect that Ponting may well be past it but I refuse to beleive that Warner is the next best First Class batsman in Australia regardless of how many...

    ODI all-time XI's for each nation

    Well if that is the case (I don't remember) Lee over Bracken. Gilchrist Watson Ponting Jones Chappell Bevan Hussey Warne Lee Lillee McGrath 12th man M Waugh

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Hmmm... SAF v AUS T20 2-0 (but who cares?) ODI 1-2 (Dead rubber for SAF) REAL 1-1 Australia's test to be a close one, Steyn to do us over in the other.-> We have 5 top order players who like to swing at stuff away from their bodies.

    ODI all-time XI's for each nation

    Not enough G Chappell love in this thread for me. WAG (from a batting perspective). Gilchrist Watson Ponting Jones Chappell Bevan Hussey Warne Lee/Bracken (since Lee won't get the new ball) Lillee McGrath 12th man M Waugh (handy fielder off the bench too) For the record I think Junior is a...

    Ranking the Cricinfo All-Time XIs

    I agree too. Neuroskeptic: Who's the Greatest Sportsperson? Here is a link showing the above. Obviously not infallable but indicates exactly why I think that when 10 of the 11 players are very closely comparable to other teams, you can draw no conclusion other than Australia is better when...

    Ranking the Cricinfo All-Time XIs

    This thread is funny. Everyone tooting their nation (like I am about to). As far as I am concerned Australia > All based and that is purely because of Bradman. WI, Eng and SAF have similar, slightly inferior or better in every other position but he is just that much better that you can't...

    Your most aesthetically appealing XI

    S Watson Vaughan Sangakarra M Waugh Lara No 6...somebody help me here - throw me some names 1992-now Gilchrist Akram Warne S Jones Waqar 12th Pidge (because I love him but only as a purist, faily bland to watch for a normal person)

    highest 50+ scores, percentage(Test)

    It requires slight qualification outside the 'rules' but as an opener. Shane Watson 16 from 36 44.44%

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    Is it still called beating the bat if the batsman can't reach the ball? :ph34r:

    Which is the best test team of all time?

    This crop of players aint bad. 1st Test v India in Mumbai 2001 Slater Hayden Langer Waugh Waugh Ponting Gilchrist Warne Fleming Gillespie McGrath Each player not at their peak at the time but damn if they all weren't awesome players at some point (a little bias as I thought Fleming was...

    Glenn Mcgrath or Malcolm Marshall?

    I don't think he'd embarass himself in such a lineup but it is odd that for some reason a lot of people think he is better than numerous players with 'superior' records. He was gun to watch though, especially on his day.

    Glenn Mcgrath or Malcolm Marshall?

    Exactly my thoughts. IMO --> Marhsall = McGrath = Hadlee etc.

    Why Gilchrist ahead of Sangakarra?

    I think a lot of stuff in this thread is a little over the top. It is reminding me of old school Gilly though - WAG. A notch above any other Keeper-Batsman I have seen as a package. For the record, Kumar is my favourite non-Watto batsman and easily my favourite non-Australian player since all...

    ***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

    I agree with this. Where did all this Paine love come from in any format? Wade hands down in limited overs from what I have seen of both and judging by first class records Wade hands down in the longer format. Wade SHOULD be our next keeper when Haddin goes. First Class Paine 46 matches 2467 @...

    Pick one former player to add to your current Test team

    I tend to agree with this. If I hadn't made a joke post earlier then you can't really have anyone other than the Don. I am not sure anything is as significant as knowing the bloke turning up to bat at 3 is probably going to make 100. No wet tracks around for him to under-perform on these days...

    Pick one former player to add to your current Test team

    Merv. Would do 2 things, improve our bowling (quite a lot IMO) and relax our stupid stance on not picking fatties to allow Cosgrove to get a game instead of Darsh or someone equally undeserving. Watto Phughes/Usman Ponting Cosgrove Clarke Hussey Haddin Left arm all over the place Copeland Merv...

    Alphabetical Draft - Voting Thread

    A few people on four votes and then one on eight. Damn you Don! I like Himanv and Howzat the best, but that man ruins another draft as KK surely has the best team.

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    I'd better write up my ****y team then. Overall pretty dissapointed but the QLD floods, lack of internet access and having to pick last in all or the ****e letter rounds has delivered my side into mediocrity. 1 Ponsford 2122 runs @ 48.22 2 Amla 3897 runs @ 46.95 3 Lara 11953...

    Alphabetical Name Draft

    I wanted to more than anything as he was my favourite players as a young lad but I had Clarke, Tendulkar and Amla and was short an opener. I would happily **** Clarke off and put him in had I the chance. I actually thought about picking Waugh and then Lara and leaving the 3rd seamer durties to...
