[bushranger]

yesterday mark chubby crossgrove won the ing cup player of the year beating his team in lehman. its a disgrace hussey was by a mile the best player this season he made runs when the team was strugging. its bull******** also jacques as much as i hate to this jacques had a better year then lehman and cosgrove together.


mark cosgrove should be on the biggest loser.

[Bombers_Forever]

Someone please get this guy off the board.

Credibility = Zero

And how "chubby" is Lehmann?

[bushranger]

[Bombers_Forever]

Would you like some cheese with your...

[usalion]

Cosgrove was named the winner this week

[Jaymin]

Well done CA. Lets not give it to the guy who breaks the record for most tons in a season and finishes with an average of 85.37. Most runs, highest strike rate, etc.

Bravo.

[AdelUniCrowFan]

^^
That's what you get when a player such as Jacques plays in a side where the team generally has players of high standard, whereas SA in the ING Cup was very reliant on Lehmann and Cosgrove, and hence they both tied on 26 votes. Cosgrove won due to more 3 vote games.

[Jaymin]

Ahh didn't realise it was 3-2-1 system. Thought it was like the AB Medal where they just seem to choose someone.

[Magic Lamps!]

Well done to Cossie.

Jaques unlucky.

Both men will be key fixtures in the Australian cricket team in years to come.

[Tracey_gow]

cosgrove

[Woodstock..]

On a serious note Jaques should have won it by a mile

[jko'neal]

Agree with the Jaques comment, think he scored a record amount of ING hundreds.
What about the Tassie guy Griffith not even polling high in the Pura Cup voting! Plays half the season on a batting paradise and takes the most wickets. Shows the inner circle is alive and well in Aussie cricket!

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well done to Cossie.

Jaques unlucky.

At least someone can make a sensible comment. :)

[My North]

David Hussey was a bit unlucky not to win it ;) :p

[bombersno1]

David Hussey was a bit unlucky not to win it ;) :p

He is lucky to be up there FFS! Cossie and Jaques were the standout players! Hussey only scored 1 hundred! So he did the same as Greg Blewett in other words!

You seriously are one of the most clueless posters on BigFooty. No joke. At first I thought you were being bias (which I might add you still are) but you keep the bullsh*t posts coming.

Ps. It's JAQUES and it's LEHMANN!!

[eddiesmith]

Only got the chance to score 1 hundred, it seemed we ended up chasing in most games

[bombersno1]

Oh so that was why you were utterly useless this year Eddie! If you were "chasing them down" then you would have won the ING! Let me remind you you didn't even make the final FFS!:thumbsd:

Queensland. And we are in the Pura Cup as minor premiers. Choketoria are lucky they get the privlege to play at the best ground in the world- The GABBA!

Choketoria? Interesting

Pressure on in the final game and we stand tall and win, we won our only home final in this comp, yet we get called chokers by the team who loses more finals than they win :rolleyes:

Sorry mate, Adelaide OVal is the best in the World and I don't even live in Adelaide. (I was born there ;))

MArk Cosgrove had a very very good, this guy has no credibilty, he is just bias. Phil Jaques had an excellent all round year, David Hussey played some good One day cricket, Shaun Tait only played a couple of games (DO SOME ********ING RESEARCH MATE!) Darren LEhmann just shows he could probably still pla international cricket at the tender age of 36 is it?

Yes it was a 3-2-1 system, but there is no ********ing way it was 3-2-1 every game, as there is no way Hussey would have polled in 9 out of 10 games and no chance 2 players in 1 team could end up with 26 votes each

[Gunnar Longshanks]

Let's just take a look at the numbers:

Phil Jaques scored 683 runs at 85.37, including 4 centuries.

Mark Cosgrove scored 591 runs at 73.87, including 2 centuries.

I think it's pretty clear that Jaques was better-performed.

It's not like the Brownlow Medal where there's complete ambiguity. The numbers tell the real story.

Jaques smashed two ODD batting records, but apparently wasn't the best-performed batsman of the season.

CA screws up yet again.

Laughable.

[apollo_creed]

Gunnar, how badly do want to bed Phil Jaques?

Because at the moment I think it's a borderline obsession.

[Gunnar Longshanks]

Gunnar, how badly do want to bed Phil Jaques?

Because at the moment I think it's a borderline obsession.Isn't it pretty obvious that Jaques had a better ING season than Cosgrove?

Can you make an intelligent argument otherwise?

Look at the numbers.

I just want common sense to prevail. It's got nothing to do with wanting to "bed Phil Jaques".

[eddiesmith]

Interestingly enough Jaques finished a distant 4th, however they voted it was ********ed up

They probably just asked a bunch of people at the end of the year which always sees the most hyped player win any award like that

Jaques might have been better performed, but not to the extent of the injustice you're portraying.

You had Warne in the last game! You are stuffed without him! Meant you had a spinner that spun the ball!

Bee to Adelaide, but my personal preference is the GABBA!

[YOTC]

No they didn't. They just made changed the pitch overnight for the 4th day and brought in a road.

We only won 1 game with Warne, lost 2. How are we stuffed without him? :confused: :rolleyes:

Nah it was always going to get easier for batting as the match wore on

We won enough games without one :rolleyes:

3 man pace attack with a medium pacer and White has worked wonders in the past couple of years

[ICanDressMyself]

How did this stupid thread turn into an argument about Victoria :rolleyes:

Give it a rest guys the season has finished.

[bombersno1]

You will need one to consistently bowl sides out in the 4th innings. And you are not playing on the Junction Highway which you had your last game! Considering Podgey is in terrible form, so is Hussey, white is inconsistent as! That is a shaky top order! You will need a spinner as a result!

Hang on, we are playing on the most seam bowler friendly pitch in the world and you are claiming we need a spinner? Funny

[bombersno1]

Have you seen the pitch Eddie? It is flat as! You need a spinner. Have a look at Warne, Macgill, and any other decent spinner's record in Brisbane! They all bowl well at the GABBA! Withough one it is so risky!

Did we have a spinner in any of our recent victories at the GABBA in either Pura Cup or ING Cup matches? No, didnt think so :rolleyes:

Was a spinner the reason we lost last time up there in the 4 dayer? ******** no

Read my post! This is NOT a traditional GABBA pitch. It is extremely flat, so you need a spinner!

Good, nice and flat, we can make 700, bowl em out cheaply, make another 200 for fun and clean em up again just like we did last time :D

Hope Jimmy believes in the logic some fools on here sprout that the Home team should bowl first :D

[eddiesmith]

BTW if it is a flat pitch, a road then that makes a fool of usalion who claims that the GABBA produce the best wickets and would never doctor a pitch but instead always provide a pitch helping both bat and ball

It will rain for 2 days!:thumbsu:

We didnt need 5 days last time, we wont this time either

[bombersno1]

It looks flatter than normal, but that could be due to the weather. It has been quite humid up here, so it is touch and go. There will be movement early but its unlikely to last long. There seems to be less grass on this pitch than usual. Is that doctoring- NO. Just like the Juunction Highway it is very hard to produce pitches where atmospheric conditions dictate how the pitches come up. The GABBA produces results but it is going to rain for 2 days, so there will be life in the pitch after the rain. A result is still possible.

[bombersno1]

You will struggle to win in 2 days! Especially with slow-coach Podgey in your side!

[usalion]

Check the stats, CQ- all states have roughly the same % of drawn matches in recent years (I produced the stats earlier...so you go search 'em up...). Fact is, the Gabba is the best wicket in Oz, with adelaide a close second and the others trailing badly....

[eddiesmith]

If you lose a full days play then the reserve day is used, we wont be only playing 2 days

BTW so if you are predicting lots of rain I guess you admit it rains alot more in Brisbane than Melbourne? Showers in Melbourne would usually mean a max of 5 overs lost in a day

I know it usually does, but predictions of a road clearly show they produce the pitch that suits them when you claim they never doctor pitches and ALWAYS produce a pitch to help out all players

Jeez you are stupid Eddie! It is tropical season in Queensland! When it rains it rains, but it does not rain as frequently as Melbourne does.

[eddiesmith]

Yeah but when it rains in Melbourne it rarely disrupts cricket where as when it rains in Brisbane you pack up for the day, I would much rather Melbournes weather thankyou

[bombersno1]

Eddie when its humid and hot its hard to produce grass all the time! It is the way it is!

[usalion]

Show me the last road that has been produced at the GABBA
Fact is, we almost always get results
Doctor? Then all other states and countries doctor their pitches. This is what groundsmen do, FFS

Sorry- I forgot, the Vics don't know what groundskeeping is all about

Eddie needs to look at the Jnunction Highway before accusing us of doctoring pitches!

I know most do, and those that dont are stupid

But you constantly deny that they do it at the GABBA, when I put the question over a month ago whether the GABBA will be flatter than normal should Kasper or Bichel go to SA you said there was no chance, seems I was right :)

[bombersno1]

Eddie last summer was a lot cooler in Queensland, especially around the final time.

The Junktion highway? Interesting, it produced as many results as the GABBA did this year

[usalion]

Eddie whinging about the weather because he knows his side is not good enough and he can't bring himself to give credit to the Queensland players.

Better be prepared for a storm of ********* and ******** during the match thread- because he will NEVER see a Bull as performing well or taking a good wicket. It will be the umpire's fault, the pitch or that sop and so is a *****ing hack

eddie "no class" smith

Jaques might have been better performed, but not to the extent of the injustice you're portraying.Jaques scored more runs, at a better average, with more centuries.

Give me one reason why Cosgrove was more deserving of this award.

You won't be able to.

The fact that Jaques didn't win reduces this award to a farce.

Hey, WB- you are misinterpretting again...I, for one, have said the Vics have a chance- and depending on which Queensland side show up, could easily lift the title. Do they deserve to? No, because we beat you twice this year. Could they? Absolutely....

And I'm sure I'm not the only one sayiong it....
