Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

Love punter, but Smith may be a better slipper.

I'm not bagging Ponting, champion cricketer, but it's not even close imo. Best one hander I reckon I've seen. Freak

Smith
J Rhodes
Punter
Mark Waugh

Could easily debate the ranking of all four. A pleasure to watch all of them in my lifetime.

Punter spent a lot of time in gulley

Punter was more versatile, was a better all round catcher and created more runouts than smith. As a pure slipper though, Smith may have him just and punter was a brilliant second slip.

Stokes should have just gone the bash. At least it would have been more interesting than this Jeffery Boycott style of poking around pointlessly.

 

[Sillygit]

I think I've seen enough of Brendan Doggett to conclude he is a good Shield bowler

Whereas Neser, gettin it done

Neser having himself a test

 

[Hojuman]

Had to come eventually.

 

[Samsquanch]

I get the English plan now. No way they want to be batting against the new ball under lights.

Good plan.

 

[Hojuman]

All she wrote.

Fair play to stokes. He has a crack and seems to be a team player. The rest seem to be individuals, rather than team players.

Can’t basball or play tempo cricket in Australia this lot. First innings was the time to bat more sensibly.

I disagree, he’s all about himself. He was angry because he felt entitled to be the hero, not because he let the team down.

I think that with all that smoke Piers Morgan blew up their backsides, they might have actually believed that they were a good team.

Twinkletoes I think old man Hoju is having a crank!

Gone from being a jinx to an oracle.

His leadership isn’t great atm, but he’s cracking it because no one else is putting the effort in.

 

[Flawed Genius]

And we've still got to bring Cummins and Lyon back into this side apparently.

And Hazelwood. We also have McSweeney available after making 226* against the English lions.

 

[Samsquanch]

Good on ya Neser!

 

[Samsquanch]

oracle

Is that a euphemism?

 

[kangatragic]

Archer's sulking and body language has been horrible in this match

 

[Dinkers]

Damn I was hoping England made us work hard and set a tricky total.

I want us to win every test, but not wanting a cakewalk.

 

[Themanbun]

Neser having himself a test

Has been unlucky not to play more test cricket IMO.
