As they were discussing on the commentary today, running in every delivery thinking, "is this going to be the time when this painful hotspot becomes a full blown stress fracture? And if so, will I hear it before I feel the pain when the bone breaks?"
A bit much to hope for him to be at his best in terms of devising and implementing strategies to get the batsman out.

Yeah, third. First for "accidentally" calling Barney a racist, second two for general trollery I think.
Three strikes and out, surely?
Indeed. Take Richard. Please.
I'm here all week. The chicken in a basket is great wi'peas.

It might sound a travesty, but another bad series and Hussay could get the boot.

Looks like weather would make it easier for the quicks to get some poles early on.

They're not on course to do it now though.

Getting ready for when the Aussies lose the return leg, obviously.
Last time was 1988, when the lost in Pakistan and then at home to the Windies.
Looking further back, in 1984/85 they lost four straight (WI x 2, England, NZ) before drawing 0-0 with India, losing to the Kiwis again, returning the drawn series in the subcontinent, and being turned over by England. They then proceeded to win the World Cup...
That run without a series win stretched from January 1984 until December 1987 - almost four years.
Keep forgetting that NZ series.

It doesn't matter what he did - can we just enjoy the fact that he's banned? Man that troll had like 40,000 posts. This ban might help him actually...get a life.

My guess is Perhaps went too far in his argument protesting Sledger's banning, whom he almost always defends, rightly or wrongly.

Current rankings (in my book):
1. SA
2. Australia
3. India
4. England/SL
6. NZ/WI
Pakistan is out of reckoning I'm afraid.
No way are India anywhere near the top spot - I think they're a distant third. Let's see them beat teams in away series, and we'll talk about it again. The ridiculous last-day batting on the second test was something Australia or SA would never do. Let's not get carried away, people!

I would put England ahead of SL in that rating simply because of the inability of the SL'can batsmen to perform on tours. Apart from a couple of players, rest of them have always struggled on tours. They are always reliant on spin in their bowling which might not suit them in places like SA or Aus. Whereas a bit of fine tuning can make England go a bit further ahead of SL. They probably have a better batting line-up. Bowling seems to be ok if they can get the right combinations and people in form.
