And old man MacGain is the worst bowler ever to represent Australia,He makes Dan Cullen look like Ashley Mallett......

McGain is not that bad. His record suggests he is comfortably better than Dan Cullen. Having said that, if I spent the next 15 years bowling leg spin I would perform better than he did on his debut.

As bad as Cullen is he still has 10 years to improve, old man MacGain is at least 40 and is as sh*t as he will ever get. Plus he is a Victorian who looks like Hugh Grants and Stuart Laws geniused love child.

Mick Lewis only got a one day gig, old man MacGain got a test cap FFS!! Which in my opinion is far far worse, 0 for 1000 and a diamond duck showed what an outstanding talent he is.

 

[TheParraboy]

agree with hiney there, very good point
Also to wigh into the argument Micky lewis won us a couple of one dayers at the death vs the kiwis, brilliant spells of bowling

Anyhow back on topic, the great Jacques to demolish Tait and South Australia tonight

 

[African Monkey]

Yes I feel sorry for the Redbacks tonight with Jacques and Rahul opening the batting.

 

[TheParraboy]

Well what can I say the great Jacques didnt play and redbacks won easily with both bat and ball

Doesnt suprise me one bit really

Jacques = Winner

 

[African Monkey]

Yes PB Jacques was sorely missed today,

 

[TheParraboy]

I missed him too

 

[African Monkey]

I think the whole world missed him.

 

[hineyrulz]

I agree with PB and AM, well said guys. I'm sure the great man will back and ready for action.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bangalore playing Mumbai tonight

If Jacques plays it will go a long way securing a semi final berth for the Royals

 

[African Monkey]

If Jacques plays every game from now on Bangalore will go all the way.

 

[TheParraboy]

Get better Jacques.

His presence around the squad has assured them a semi final birth

Injured Kallis out of Champions League
Cricinfo staff

September 21, 2010

Text size: A | A Royal Challengers Bangalore have been dealt a huge blow ahead of their must-win game against Lions after a neck injury ruled out key allrounder Jacques Kallis from the rest of the Champions League Twenty20.

According to the team's website, the injury has affected Kallis' lower cervical and upper thoracic spine and Cricket South Africa's medical team advised him to rest so he would be fit for the country's upcoming international commitments. ESPNcricinfo has learnt the injury is not serious - it is just a strain, not a tear or fracture. Kallis will most likely not be named in the T20 squad to face Pakistan, but should be fit for the one-dayers.

Kallis was the Man of the Match in Bangalore's opening win over Guyana, taking 3 for 16 and scoring an unbeaten 43. He was second highest run scorer in the 2010 IPL, making 572 runs at an average of 47.66 and a strike rate of 115.78.

The franchise said it would not be asking for a replacement.
