State Vice-Captain
Wasn't there some sort of bar brawl between Ian Chappel and Beefy in Melbourne sometime in the seventies ?Wazztodd said:Chappells opinions are never biased in any way, God forbid he just doesn't like the guy.

Yes mate it does, and I know from experiance that drinking does not help you do any better. It does help you be stupidly confident against the fastest bowler in the county and slog him for a massive 6...with your eyes closed thoughroyGilchrist said:Botham's flamboyant lifestyle??
What is that referring to, going to the pub everyday and drinking yourself silly?
The strange thing with Imran is that if you take the games he played as captain out then you get a very average All-Rounder, but if you just take the matches he was captain in...you get possibly the world's greatest all-rounder averaging 52 with the bat and 20 with the ball in Tests :OWazztodd said:Yeah, I was just being sarcastic about him being rated "crap". There's many other peformances from Botham that won or significantly contributed to winning games, unlike Massie, who really was a "one-test wonder". I have Beefy just ahead of Kapil, but only as a personal opinion, simply because I got to see a lot more of him live, and those peformances stick in the mind, I guess. It's all subjective really, both great players.
Imran still above them both though.
