There is Simon Katich, Voted sexiest cricketer at the AB medal night from memory

Go the Kat!!!!!!

Locky isn't old enough for real men.

That was a farce, no way that Mitch or Sunshine were not the sexiest player

Kat is a mans man, the poofy girly look is on the way out. Just say no to Metro!!

 

[Timbo]

You know what they say - once you go Kat, you never go back.

Personally I'd axe Johnson for Clark. Won't happen though.

This very accurate there hiney, and I agree with you whole heartedly 100%.

You know, ive been thinking, if Jacques Kallis was Australian he would have given Katich a run for his body on that night in February imho....

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Merv Hughes would be more accurate.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Will England play a spinner? Swann?

 

[lockyno1]

Swann will play, mind you it helps us, I'd rather both their spinners play, they are hacks.

Aus will go in unchanged, England will bring Harmison OR Onions in for Panesar

Having peroxide, etc does not mean metro!

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

Has to be an unchanges side, if they go for four quicks Ponting will get in trouble with the over rate and be forced to bowl his part timers in crucial periods.

 

[lockyno1]

I don't buy that whatsoever. Over rates should not be an issue. In first class cricket in Australia teams bowl 96 overs and the vast majority of teams rarely play spinners..guess what they bowl all the overs in.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Grade cricketers have to bowl 100 overs in less time than Test cricketers and they sh*t their overs in.

 

[lockyno1]

Exactly, now whilst I do agree that test cricket is more serious, etc. There is no reason why you should not get 90 overs in even if you had 4 Brett Lee's bowling. It is Ponting who spends 5 minutes every ball with his field placings!

Since Warney.Pidge and Gilly have retired he takes even longer than he ever did. FMD is it so hard to set a field???

 

[lockyno1]

What I do not understand is what the heck are they planning before the match! Surely they know what field placings to do in the 1st/2nd over..yet he still spends 10 minutes setting fields then!

I still maintain that if North is in the side, he should be captain, much better captain and a natural leader! Let Ponting bat!

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Katich should be captain - afterall, he is the sexiest cricketer as voted by his fellow peers' bitches ;-)

 

[TheParraboy]

I have some insights I am going to submit to the ICC, making sure 30 overs a session are complied

- a no ball should be 10 runs automatically, so no need to re-bowl the delivery
- no drinks breaks, they can all carry a little water bottle in their hip pocket
- captain cant wear pads or helmet when batting if his side doesnt cant average 30 over sessions when bowling
- tea and lunch breaks to be held at mid wicket or cover point, to save time going back and forth to the pavillion
- only 2 bowlers can have more than a 6 step delivery stride run up


cheers

 

[lockyno1]

You forgot that a captain may choose to use a bowling machine!:lol:
