matthew hayden or brian lara?

[Armadillo]

lara can be an extremely stylish player i just dont find the exaggerated perosculation necessary.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Does it not work for him though?

 

[Neil Pickup]

perosculation

We prefer it when our members use real words 8D

i give up, why do you hate me so much

Cant he do without it?

Neil doesn't hate you. He's just testing you out. He did it to Jamee too.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

With the bat lift that he has it's necessary. It helps with balance.

 

[Armadillo]

i see, in both instances

 

[Armadillo]

so how do i counter this test?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Up to you, but the word 'ginger' must feature somewhere. :P

 

[PY]

Simple. Tell him to <ahem> **** <ahem> off .

Or alternatively, just ignore him. He's a ginger whinger who's got nothing better to do then pick up on a 14 year old's grammar. :P.

Other alternative is to try make sure you mostly use proper language but I can understand you not always using that.

I'd probably go for 1st option but that's because I know him. Best you stick to 2nd one.

Does he need to?

 

[Neil Pickup]

You'll get used to my sense of humour (it is humour, honest, just not very good...) with time.

Everyone else has, right Liam?

Hayden by a whisker. Im not a fan of Laras technique at all... , if someone had to bat for my life, id rather it was him than BCL (both pretty awesome tho)

Probably the former more than the latter...

And do tell me how many times has Hayden had to save Australia's backside? How many time's has he had to bat for the whole team? How many times has Hayden saved Australia when they have been three or four wickets down for not many?

Maybe you are typing that because you peeved off that Lara flayed your beloved South Africans in Jo'burg and in Cape Town.

What does that matter...

How many more tests has Lara played than Hayden?

What if Lara was playing his cricket in the late 70s & 80s, how much of an impact would he have had them. Why do we always have to put situations into context? You can only do what is presented to you, why are we not allowed to consider Hayden could possibly be a great batsman, just because he is in a great/good team?

I'm sure given the chance Hayden would continually bat well and save his team, he's done it against Pakistan & India at least once and numerous times for Queensland so it is not beyond him.

Can't we just say they are both great batsman in their own eras and own situation, do we have to choose between the two?

It all comes down to a matter of personal opinion.

 

[Slow Love™]

For me - Lara, Lara, Lara.

IMO, he's the best batsman in the world. Definitely the most brilliant I've ever seen, and strong in all conditions.

Thanks for the advice.8D

Well, I must admit, I haven't.

Only joking. :P

 

[Richard]

as long as it helps you sleep when he's scored about 800 runs @ 100+ against your lot in 2005

Hahaha, yeah. Right!
Hayden will be eaten for breakfast in 2005 if you ask me, because surely by then we will have realised that seamer-friendly conditions are neccessary, Caddick has recenty announced that he's still hoping to be there then; Hoggard and Anderson will surely have developed into good bowlers by that time; and who knows how many other good seamers may have appeared? Kabir Ali for instance.

Not to mention gaining power without a massive heavy bat.
