Cricket Crap

Agreed but they're not paid to fix things.

That's because they don't know how.

Maybe Grampa Chappell isn't, but his brother has been for many years and has been a leading light in the destruction of Australian cricket...if he truly has so many answers, as he seems to like to pretend, maybe he could focus his energy on wording up Greg instead of bitching non stop

You know you're in trouble when Greg Ritchie is having a crack. He didn't exactly set the world on fire during his career.

He averaged mid 30’s in a much tougher era. He would walk into this side.

That's exactly it - Chappell, Warne and co are very good at stating the obvious but have no plan on how to fix things.

The Gus Gould’s of Australian cricket.

Come on man, Warne is a thinker, and solution solver

Wanted Finch as test captain and Darcy Short to open with him
and still loyal about Stoinis as the allrounder saviour

agree

I would also take Dwayne Leverock in a heart beat

Eat your heart out Peter Siddle

Yeah true. He also scored a few test hundreds. That puts him ahead of most in the test team that faced India.

Well Warney tries to come up with plans, it's just that most have his plans seem like they'd make things worse.

Warney always has a multi-step plan:

1 - Pick untested kid who bowls legspin.
2 - Pick random bloke who's played first grade for St. Kilda.
3 - Mark Taylor was the best captain I ever played under, people always say they think I should've been captain ahead of Waugh.

And 4 - Random mediocre Victorian bowler (Scott Boland etc)

He's the Justin Langer of Victoria

Great post.

IMO Greg Rowell has the best bowling action I've seen... Smooth as pouring custard on a laminex table..

Sadly I can't find any footage - usually Robelinda2 are the go-to's for this kind of stuff. Anyone else?

Go to about 15:25 in...

If you can't play it back (I can't on my mobile) search for Australia v Australia A First Final 1994/1995.

He's got a helluva cushy position in the media though.

It's what the late Les Favell would have wanted.

Those were the days.

Greg Rowell, what a gun.

Surely Paul Reiffel was more of a gun than Rowell...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol.

Mr Panesar, we award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. In what can only be described as an embarrassing effort, former England spinner Monty Panesar went on UK quiz show Celebrity Mastermind and delivered a performance for the ages. Just not in a good way.

He even managed to get a question wrong in which the answer involved his own name. When asked “In what 1997 film do a group of Sheffield men become strippers for a night at their local working men’s club?” he managed to answer with The Dreamboys. The answer is of course, The Full Monty.

Additionally it appeared Panesar, despite flying all over the world for cricket, is geographically challenged, deciding that Greek capital Athens was where the German football team played its home international matches until 2001. Sorry mate, but Munich is what we were looking for there.

In yet another shocker Panesar decided CS Lewis entitled his first Chronicles of Narnia novel after himself, and called it CJ Lewis. Thankfully the author opted against that, because it doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, does it? Panesar clearly isn’t a literary man, nor one for all seasons. When asked what season poet John Keats was writing about as “fruitful and yellow” Panesar answered with Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. Swing and a miss from Monty again, when the only options were summer, spring, autumn or winter. Even host John Humphreys failed to suppress a chuckle at that one. Unsurprisingly, the internet roasted the clueless cricketer.

The episode of Celebrity Mastermind featured guests including classical singer Camilla Kerslake, Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson and comedian Terry Alderton, with money raised by the contestants going to charity.

No dates set. But it talks about the possibility of some of these matches being in Pakistan.
