I have lots of respect for Gillespie, I think he is a great bowler. But in the one day form of the game Shane Bond is far more effective and I can almost guarantee that he will score more fantasy points than Gillespie will.

He will take more wickets and score more runs, simple as that.

I think you are spot on

The only thing that makes me think is that Gillespie got his best one day results on the tour to South Africa

In the early days he was pretty ordinary in the one day game but seems to be improving a lot.

I have picked Bond and Lee ahead of Dizzy but I think it will be close.

The other thing in Shane Bond's favour is that he is more likely to bowl at the death then Jason Gillespie, and therefore will have more of a chance getting cheap wickets at the end of the innings.

Could be subject to change...

Greg Chappell is remembered as one of the greatest middle order batsmen of all time. It's his brother Trevor who'll be forever synonymous with the underarm; he didn't do anything else in his career of note.

Thanks for that Dave.

I guess this was meant to go on the underarm thread

I keep getting "error in register" so it looks like i'm not playing!

What is our country code? And why do cricinfo need it anyway?

 

[Squeak]

How come if I've already registered a team, I can't login and instead it asks me to register again?
