[hineyrulz]

Good effort by Pidgeon to crack the top 10 in ODI's comsidering his been retired since may.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Big years for Tendulkar and Ganguly, possibly a last hurrah for them, or do they have a couple of years in them yet?

 

[Deleted member 10972]

India have Ganguly, Tendulkar, Yuvraj & Dhoni all in the top, plus Dravid seems to have been in good form in ODI's. Might put up more of a fight in the ODI's.

 

[Ridders]

Tendulkar should as he's relatively young at about 33/34. In saying that he has been around a long time, wouldn't surprise me either way.

 

[The Colonel]

Tendulkar turns 35 in April......

 

[JJ]

Tendulkar's been playing for 18-19 years - long time

Kallis #1 :shock: Aussies must miss those ,000s of runs :lol:

Vettori's done pretty well imo

 

[salivor]

Kallis #1 :shock:

Yep Kallis' record in recent years is amazing, unless you're an Australian of course.

 

[HevyDevy]

Yeah, good generalisation there too Salivor.

I'd like to see number of games played included in those lists - oops, I'm sure some Kiwis will assume that comment is me having a go at Kallis ...

 

[JJ]

avg if 86 suggests he's going ok

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Looks like India played a lot of cricket this year

 

[salivor]

Yeah, good generalisation there too Salivor.

I'd like to see number of games played included in those lists - oops, I'm sure some Kiwis will assume that comment is me having a go at Kallis ...

Have a read of some Australian posters opinions of Kallis around here.

Jacques Kallis in 2007: 9 tests, 17 innings, 3 not outs, 1210 runs, Highest score of 186*, averaged 86.42, 5 centuries and 6 half centuries.

I'd say he had a pretty good year.

 

[HevyDevy]

Well I'm not other posters, I am Australian and I do rate Kallis - thus why I picked up on the generalisation.

The hatred that you and the other Kiwis here show of all things Australian is quite amusing.

 

[salivor]

Nice generalisation of Kiwi posters Hevy.

 

[HevyDevy]

Hey, don't like it eh?

However, I'm trying to find one that doesn't.

Let's see - JJ, Ozbash, Manu, yourself, Beaver - I was right!

 

[salivor]

I'll jot down sarcasm as another thing that Aussies don't quite have a grasp on.

 

[HevyDevy]

Keep that list going mate, it will give you something to do

 

[Dakink]

Id have Kallis ahead of Michael Clarke in the current Australian team. Id go close to having him ahead of Symonds as well, except for Symonds fielding.

 

[salivor]

When did fielding keep you a spot in a test side? Kallis is twice the batsman and twice the bowler that Symonds is and a very good slips fieldsman as well.

 

[HevyDevy]

Symonds has far better hair though ...
