Mark Cosgrove

[YOTC]

What is everyone complaining about. Let the man play! If he wants to eat Maccas after a game of cricket, so be it. He enjoys his cricket, and enjoys his food. I hope he gets his bat and smashes anyone who says he is overweight. Like a certain, former, test cricketer.

 

[Bentleigh]

Wouldn't get a game in the Aussie team

Nor our A team.

 

[silky-smooth]

If Cosgrove ever fell over, I wonder what the tremor would register on the richter scale?

 

[spindoctor]

Inzamam ul_haq would walk straight into our team. Ahead of Langer, Martyn, Lehmann, Katich and Clarke. Only Hayden and Ponting are good enough to compare to him.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Nor our A team.

That's a little bit silly, he has already played a game for Australia and whilst he may not have done much this demonstrates the selectors have got him in the back of his mind. Has a chance to play for Australia A again this season.

They were talking about Inzamam, not Cosgrove

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Oh ok, I thought they were talking about Cosgrove because he did play an Australia A game last season. Check the database on baggygreen.

Inzamam ul-Haq wouldnt get a game in our A team.

That's true .... he's not an Australian

 

[silky-smooth]

That's true .... he's not an Australian

Very good... he is a Pakistani

 

[YOTC]

That's true .... he's not an Australian

But Keppler Wessels wasn't australian

 

[silky-smooth]

But Keppler Wessels wasn't australian

And several non-Australians play domestic cricket.

Zimbabweans!!!!! But look @ the english county, . No wonder why they can't find good local talent, they import all their players.

You are very wrong.

 

[Fred Phillis]

The SACA has suspended the playing contract of Mark Cosgrove - because he's too fat!!
has been suspended for a month (until oct 31) and will then face fitness tests before being considered for selection...

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Geez.... I wonder why this doesn't apply to Inzamam over in Pakistan ?

Boof is fat as well, yet the SACA let him play ?
Double standards in my book.

 

[Fred Phillis]

i hear ya ben...
as warnie says, it's "cricket fit" - not triathlon fit that matters...
and i thought it was how well u were batting: if cossy being overweight meant he couldn't score 100s, then fair enuf, but harsh call i say

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah, very harsh call.

Having played lower grade cricket for quite a few years now, what is frustrating is the the big blokes always seem to hog the bowling and batting, yet do nothing to earn thier keep in the field.

Geez... it's frustrating.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Hardly a shock but yeah, look at Inzy.

He will probably overcome this and return to SA will some big scores.
