Players who would get in2 Aus team

Hey guys, which players who aren't australian do u think would be good enough to be on the aus team if they were australian?

Tendulkar, Lara, Dravid, Kallis.

God, first we get 50 threads discussing irrelevant and totally unquantifiable qualities in players, now we get about 100 discussing the supposed strength-in-depth in Australian cricket.
There was a time (maybe 2 or 3 days ago) when CC was a decent read.

Sorry Richard...No-one should be discussing anything unless its of interest to you. Is that how it should work?

I thought this was a reasonable thread...

It's usually still a decent read until you get involved.

there's something i can't argue with

I think this is a great thread...

I'd say LAra... the guy is an absolute God... he'd probably replace Clarke.
I'd also probably carry Smith and have him rotate with Hayden and Langer with the two best form openers playing (i.e right now Smith and Langer)
A fit Shane Bond would probably make the side and replaces Kasperwicz... this is simply to have an all out quick in the side.
I'd also put Tendulkar in the side for Martyn (this is despite Dravid being a better player, but Dravid's slow batting woulnd't fit in with the rest of the Aussie team).
I'd then also put Stephen Fleming in for Lehmann... this guy would be really good in a team surrounded by champs...

So it'd read

Langer
Smith
Ponting
Tendulkar
Flemming
Lara
Gilchrist
Warne
Bond
Gillespie
McGrath

So would I, if it hadn't been done 50 times before or so.

Which would make it basically never - which would mean there's no point you even visiting such a dire-standard place.

No, because fortunately there are times when you disappear for months on end.

Or rather there has been one such time - there has also been one occasion of about 2 or 3 weeks where I've "disappeared" due to an inactive computer.

Since no-one has mentioned any England players yet, Harmison, Flintoff and Strauss would comfortably make the Australian team.

And for the first that's laughable.

James or another mod,

Could you please lock this thread? Richard has deemed it unworthy of continuing.

I've done nothing of the sort.
I've simply said I find the number of threads for the same purpose are IMO pointless.

Indeed, wish someone would lock him up. 6 posts and counting in this thread and all of them pointless and simply wrong. Perhaps the irony of him of complaining about repeating stuff is beyond him.


Edit: In retrospect perhaps he already is locked up.

Perhaps the self-centred idiocy of yourself is beyond you.

Thats ridiculous... i maybe would only have one of them (harmison)... if he's lucky.... its terrible to suggest that you break up the most successful opening partnership in recent times (maybe ever) of hayden and langer and put in strauss... maybe you could squeeze harmison in over kasper, but not on recent form.. i couldnt find a place for flintoff to tell you the truth, especially with gilly coming in at 7 already

You contributed nothing to this thread apart from saying its crap. And you continue to stick to it to spoil it.
