It was 20 years ago yesterday...

I’d say he’s an ATG, but definitely the lowest one in my lisf. The last 10 years are comparable to the “worst” ATG pacers at best, but yeah he does get bonus points for longevity sure. It doesn’t mean you can outright ignore half his career when rating him. e.g over this 10 year period he was as good as these blokes, plus he played for 20 years!!

Exactly what I've been thinking, you can't have it both ways and take his output for the last 10 years, double it, and ignore his first 10

I don't know that FP was suggesting Canterbury was that bad tbh.

Anyway, that spud NP10 told me if I even mentioned the **** hole he would infract me. WAC. I've been silenced. I demand #freedom
two weeks ago today lol
Sorry, but Atlanta is a monumental **** hole. Birmingham/ Chennai/ Brisbane level bad. There's nothing there. It's horrendously bad. The Delta hub at the airport is all that's good about it.

If it's one of the most desirable metro areas in the US then country should bulldoze itself and start over.

Austral means "south" which is why "Terra Australis Incognito" was the unknown southern land that European explorers went looking for.

Australasia literally means "south of Asia", so is PNG, other South Pac Islands, Oz and NZ and is the same as Oceania, although is often used for just A & NZ.

Serious question - if young Anderson were yet to play at all instead of taking expensive test wickets in the 2000s, would you consider him a better test player?
