The big show got 6/39 for me in a demolition of WA in a shield match on my Cricket Captain 2012 game.

Should get on the India tour based on that.

See The Big Show got a very impressive duck vs. The Indian Board Presidents XI.

He may not have scored runs but he was looking to try to score runs and brought a real X-Factor to the wicket.

First test shoe in.

I wouldn't be too worried if I was Maxipad.

Match form isn't necessarily a true indication of net form. Once he's back in the nets he'll clean up.

Two things -

One: How dare that article question the brilliance of The Big Show. James Brayshaw should immediately be hired by Fox Sports to re-write it.

Two: It says Wade was caught at long off. Why on earth was he going the slog in a warm up for a test match on day one? He was batting at 3 for gods sake.

A cunning strategy by The Big Show. Got out quickly so that he could give himself a chance to take 20 wickets tomorrow.

The Big Show Bandwagon has another member, more completely undeserved praise.
Don't know who Ashley Mallett is though or whether his word means anything.

There is a lot to like about the young Australian allrounder. He bats with purpose and flair, not unlike Kevin Pietersen, fields like a Trojan, and his offspin bowling is coming on a treat.

Just goes to show how easily the media can turn a useless nobody into an overnight sensation with their words and nothing else.

He has about as much X factor as the contestants on that stupid f**king show with the same name.

Reminds me of Cameron White - Talked up excessively, never did a f**ken thing.

I remember watching youtube highlights of this up and coming gun batsman named Glenn Maxwell, hitting a match winning ODI 50 against Pakistan.

Excited to see new talent, I expected a Symonds/Razzaq/Flintoff like innings of power hitting. Instead I got this useless hack jumping around the crease, edging the ball all over the place and showing off a technique roughly on par with Agarkar. He was worthy of a #10 having a merry ol swing.

Fast forward a few months and he sucks just as bad, but his 'fame' and pay packet is astronomical.

Cricket is weird sometimes.

Mallet is a pretty credible source, he used to be our spin bowling coach pre Warne

He always said we should have 2 spinners in every game and he was a big fan of playing Warne and McGill together
