Mick Lewis Tribute Thread

[Goughy]

Hussey was great for us last year

I said Aussie Quicks. If you are including him as a quicky then Im worried as he is miliary at best,19 career fc wickets at an average of about 40.

Another good point. And I thought Lewis was okay for you fellas?..

He was. I posted praise for him, with some of his great stats, on about page 8 of this thread

As long as he performs for us which he did last year he can bowl as bad as he likes for Aussies

you don't get it either. The assumption was based on his whole career, not on the last game alone.

He said "Mick Lewis is officially the worst ODI bowler ever". The only "official" statistic by which Lewis is the worst ever is figures, so he was basing it on these figures.

 

[Tom Halsey]

because Murali has 400 ODI wickets.... So if say a Parthiv Patel gets a tribute thread, can I just walk in and point out the Ashes and say Gilchrist deserves to be made fun of too?

If you were saying something like "everyone is allowed a bad series. Look at Gilchrist, he's had a couple in a row now" then yes, that would be justified.

 

[Tom Halsey]

And fourthly, I still find it funny that most guys seem to take so much pains to state that Lewis wouldn't enjoy this and that you guys feel for him and yet the same almost never happened with Murali. And let's face it, he has copped it more than any international bowler I have seen in my cricket watching days.....

I may be wrong, but the only people I know who have gone to pains to say this are Liam and myself.

I feel for Murali, and I'm pretty sure I speak for Liam too.

 

[Tom Halsey]

And thirdly, apologies to Tom Halsey, like I said earlier, I wasn't saying a lot of the Murali stuff to you, per se, but a few others who have all been rather anti-Murali in my time here at CW...

That's OK.

yeah, but then again, PArthiv has had a poor career overall as a keeper. So I would say that argument would be wrong too...

But back on topic, whatever happened to Bichel? I thought he might have been a better option than this guy Lewis.

Nothing, aside from age. He's been among the strongest performers for the last two Pura Cup seasons, but he's just considered too old to be selected now. The view was that he would not feature in the 2007 world cup, so he was discarded, like Bevan.

Given the WC is only a year or so away, that is strange logic.

Bichel is going to end up playing till he's about 40 and doing well till then too in domestic cricket. I think that the selectors bit the bullet at the right time.

Yes but if he was basing his opinion on Patel solely on one series, then it would be justified.

That was be my point.

Never were that good at English

I wonder how he would take it if I got a Durham shirt with "Lewis 0-113" on the back and asked him to sign it?????

Of course I wouldnt do that though as he always does well for us and the one time I talked to him he seemed a nice guy....plus he has signed my programme many times

 

[Tom Halsey]

Slight mistake there...
