Your favourite kind of charred remains?

That quite simply isn't true. Mark Taylor was another for personality clashes...

 

wasnt Allan border known as captain cranky too?

 

he's the ONLY ****ing leggie since Warnie!

 

Hardly - ODI world champs and Champion's trophy Champs - that's a ****-loiad more than Cronulla

 

Quite simply - he doesn't and never will :deal

 

obviously boxing is your ...only suit!!!

 

Not at all Sally, but enlighten me out of all those out there going around in domestic cricket actually turn it anything like Warne? Mention Cameron White and I'll set fire to your house whilst you are asleep in, the next ball he TURNS will be his first

 

mate, ive called it like i saw it. a couple of days ago, i watched young smith, throw it up like no one has since warnie. he spun the ball at right angles like warnie did\does. he was economic and accurate. ian chappell was a commentator and said he was the best aussie spin prospect scince warnie. he said warnine and terry jenner are coaching him. he also said that steve had a problem as he was selected for NSW as a batsman and not a bowler.....and NSW already has 2 class spinners...nathan hauritz....and the other escapes me.
last night he was carted for 27 runs in 2 overs. his replacement (moises henriques) was carted for twice that and lost the game on an un spin friendly wicket...

smith looked nothing in his first over...but dangerous in his second. im pretty sure both overs produced chances of a wicket...

smith is the goods....as goodas warne is a big call......but he is young, and nsw has a good record of bringing young cricketers up tp their potential.

 

So go back to what I said as to him being the only leg-spinner since Warnie. Now you said boxing was obviously my only suit. Name the other leg-spinners that have come through Since Warne and the man with even less people-skills than Flamengo - Stuart MacGill... Ok that last point is arguable; MacGill might have lot's more people skills than Flamengo - but then again Josef Goebbels has more personality, warmth and charm than our fine Victorian "friend". HOLD THE PHONE!!! Take away the Lords Of Flatbush dress code, dress him in a brown double-breasted jacket with high peaked cap. With Flame's gaunt face, high cheekbones and sunken eye-sockets the ANBOHF's gofer and all-round pleb easily becomes Nazi Germany's Minister of Propoganda! I'd be checking my family tree rather frantically if I was you buddy...

Anyhow, back to the cricket. I never said that Smith wasn't a bowler, I said that there have been no legitimate leggie since Warne and NOTHING you said has dis-proven my point. Cameron White allegedly bowls leg-spin (if rank long-hops that don't turn is classified as leggies he may well be the greatest ever). Hauritz is an OFF-spinner as is evry other option tried by Australia since the Great Man's depature

 

Nice to see you again James. Was surprised you didn't show up during the Ashes tbh.

Here's hoping Australia and England will be drawn together in the next World Cup. Also, at this stage it's looking like New Zealand will qualify too, so Aus, Eng, and NZ all in the one group would be great.

Australia and New Zealand competing in the football world cup just doesn't sound right, does it.

But before all that, we've got the 4 nations starting next week. Normally I'm not patriotic when it comes to international league, but seeing as how we've lost the #1 ranking, Ricky Stuart isn't coach and Willie Mason isn't playing...I'm inclined to be more supportive of our national team.

 

daniel cullen....

and ironically....

cullen bailey...

Both raging successes.

 

Jeez mate - you need to be careful about the aspertions you cast about others -
Dan Cullen is an offie NOT a leggie
Bailey is a leggie at least, hasn't exactly set the world on fire now has he? First class average of 43 and has played how many games for Australia? My original comment still stands

 

thats what i did....well, they havent set the world on fire, but they've been talked about and both played state.

have you seen smith bowl yet phil?

also, i wasnt casting aspersions at you. as you know, i play up a bit here, and get into a rut so to speak. i like some posters here....you being one of them...im gunna have to snap out of that if im going to keep my um...'reputation..' :yep

Solution:

1/ Stand Punter down as captain, but retain him and have Warnie teach him to bowl leggies - 2 problems solved!

2/ Let Hodgie sit in the corner by himself if he can make Test double hundreds. We found a way of accommodating Roy and what a dick he proved to be.
