Battle of the Australians

[nightprowler10]

Yeah, go 64.

Sure, if somebody is willing to compile a list for me. Just add 14 more to the top 50 list.

 

[nightprowler10]

And Mark Waugh shouldn't be in there IMO

38 international centuries?

 

[Mister Wright]

38 international centuries?

Yeah, the 38 times his career was in trouble. He was just a sailor, he never put any effort in, his highest test score should have been more than 150, should have got a double.

But I'm happy for him to go in to get voted out early.

 

[nightprowler10]

New avatar?

Anyway, I'm sure SW can be in a top 64 list.

 

[Mister Wright]

New avatar?

Anyway, I'm sure SW can be in a top 64 list.

Yeah, time for a change, I've had it for a while. It will come out again when the federal election campaigns begin.

[oz_fan]

62. Charlie Turner
101 wickets at 16.53

 

[nightprowler10]

I have a feeling these last few are going to be fillers.

How about Daren Lehmann?

Yeah they probably will be fillers. Lehmann sounds alright.
How about Geoff Lawson or Jack Ryder for the last spot.

 

[Perm]

Just a little note, Garth McKenzie is on the list twice. Number 16 and 60.

 

[nightprowler10]

Fixed. Thank you for that. Damien Fleming in his place at 60.

[Perm]

Are we all ready to start then? When is the first battle going to begin?

 

[Johnners]

1 minor change maybe...Bill Brown ahead of Lehman or Fleming ??? He is our oldest living test cricketer afterall, and was a dam good 1 at that!!!

 

[nightprowler10]

Certainly deserves to be in there ahead of some of the fillers. I'll put him instead of D Fleming.

 

[nightprowler10]

Are we all ready to start then? When is the first battle going to begin?

We'll start at 0900 GMT. So thats a half hour from now. It'll give people a chance to review the list.

 

[GIMH]

Where's Mick Lewis?

 

[nightprowler10]

Where's Mick Lewis?

The rest of the 64 would be at an utter disadvantage if I included him.

Sorry for the delay, my computer was acting up. Making a battle now.

 

[nightprowler10]

All the battles have selected by a randomizer, so nobody blame me for the matchups.
