i'll admit i'm posting the truth as dickishly as possible, because i am a knob and the west islanders sometimes need a reality check (case in point - all the moaning about siddle being in the team because he's old and slow and then he goes and bowls respectably and arguably better than atg next malcolm marshall 160kph pattinson and cummins - thoroughly predictable outcome given you set yourselves up for it tbh), but that doesn't change the fact i am 100% right, as usual.

and before pattinson or cummins takes 5fer next dig, which they are quite capable of doing because they are world class, it doesn't validate the over the top whining. you'd think siddle averaged 50 with the ball going by all the punishing pre-game chat. hazlewood's form is muck and starc is a specialist 2nd new ball bowler to subcontinental scrubs, as you all complain in every match thread ever until a foreigner points it out. in england you don't need to bowl 140 clicks like you do in australia, siddle is a perfectly fine horse for the course.

Flem trying to be alpha is like NZ thinking it’s relevant on the world stage - cute, but at the end of the day everyone knows it’s an act and no one GAF about what he has to say

Hopefully Smith's there for the next 2 sessions. If one of the other numpties can hang around for a while, we're a chance of posting an awkward total.

It wasn't for him though
I don't think it is in general. I've seen a study or two that say that contrary to popular belief, most batsmen peak at about 29-30, not a bit past 30 as many seem to believe. I don't see why it would be different for a keeper-bat. You miss good years debuting at 30.

i'll admit i'm posting the truth
You admit you don't know what you're talking about though. The idea of an aussie circle jerk is so offensive to you that you have to try and break it up even when you know very little on the topic.

And coming from a kiwi, who have multiple Cricket Chat threads dedicated purely to NZ circle jerking

I don't hate Flem's posting ITT. I actually respect what he's trying to do here. But in no way does anything he's saying resemble "facts"

your post seems very confused, but i expect that from the nation that can dish out lip about broken arms hiding behind mitchell johnson but moans about english crowds booing.

I know you can't get stumped on a no ball, but what separates a run out from a stumping there? If bairstow had whipped the bails off

Oh and Moeen clearly chucked that last one IMO

has he ever been reported?
Haha I'm happy that bowlers who aren't chuckers but have a bit of a chucky delivery once every fifty balls are never called.

That may or may not to be to protect my record for Glenhaven. Shh.
