We will make them grovel - The Greigy

[Neil Pickup]

An English nomination, slightly tongue-in-cheek

You would have thought that someone of Brumbers' advanced years might have learned by now not to try predicting the English weather more than a few hours in advance...

I don't think any of these calls, as woeful as they are, quite stack up to AndyC's ultimate Greigy.

 

[smash84]

think the kingjulian one is at the top at the moment.

think the Dhonisgland one might have had more than a hint of tongue in cheek

haha....Kingjulian stuff is tops

No. Dhonisgland was pretty serious on this. I had an argument with him over this statement

Not exactly an Indian or English view but:

haha.....just love some of the absolutist statements that PEWS comes up with

 

[smash84]

Yeah that can be argued to have gone his way

EDIT: @ Marcuss

haha....you do have a point

 

[GIMH]

I've got some noms from Furball that I'll post later. gevnkat & Shri to feature heavily.

 

[Daemon]

are you and Furball having *** everyday

 

[Prince EWS]

Not exactly an Indian or English view but:

Haha that wasn't a prediction by any stretch of the imagination. I'll cop it though.

 

[weeman27bob]

I'm not sure there's space for a third...

 

[Daemon]

Dammit

 

[Ikki]

I might have just struck gold

would've missed this gem as I have him on ignore.

 

[GotSpin]

Still reckon KingJulian is in front

 

[zaremba]

Kingjulian and Bun currently clear favourites, in one sense.

Apologies to hang on for digging up this little diamond from the "Combined XI" thread...

Cook
Sehwag
Trott
Sachin
KP
Bell
Prior
Swann
Tremlett
Khan
Anderson

based on the number of players from each side in the combined team, not at all apparent which the number one side in the world is!

 

[Howe_zat]

The last one especially.

Kingjulian clear winner. End the contest now.

KJ was an obvious troll, hardly counts. More fun to dig up the shockers by our esteemed members, imo.

Meanwhile, I daresay our Bun may be rathe prolific in this thread. Here's one I remember (Eloquentia quoted for context):

For me, Zaheer is easily India's class pace bowler. If Broad was Indian, he'd be behind, vying with Sharma or so for that second seamer spot. His batting would be well used too, could fit in at number 7 to strengthen their bowling - his batting is abundant in potential. Clearly > Harbhajan's batting.

no not clearly he is better than harby.

also he is well behind ishant sharma now. both have played comparable games, taken comparable wickets, and ishant is leading him by more than 4 points.

sreesanth too by talent alone is better than broad, just that his avg is hurt real bad because of some absolute roads (check his record in matches whcih produced a result vs which didnt)....

praveen kumar swings it much better and is not unidimensional like broad is. burgey may be capable of bowling faster than him, but so too can tait.

broad will be competing with likes of mithun, unadkat, etc had he been indian

Another prediction I remember being rather dodgy at the time was tooextracool's claim that "we bat down to 3". I believe he referred to Bell and KP as liabilities. Can't find it though, I think it may have been from around May.

will try and dig up some PEWS gold that GIMH had previously dug up in another post

 

[smash84]

Bun...WAG

 

[GIMH]

Gonna have to come clean and admit I made up the post about EWS eating Richard's computer although I personally still think it's worthy of nomination in case he thought it.

It was a false quote tbh.

 

[GIMH]

As I said, I was quoting your mind

Just like now

I wonder what GIMH is wearing

haha.....I was fooled....I though it was really from PEWS

GIMH you can really think like PEWS.....or you are his multi

New entry, during the second Test, no less:

England are missing Tremlett. I just knew Bresnan wasn't gonna be that effective in Tests.
