Hahahah, my thoughts exactly.
I've barely been on here for a month and people like coolknot and andonis posting pointless s**t has already got me annoyed.
Back on to the cricket and on the topic of wicketkeepers: I'd go for Wade over Haddin by a mile. When Paine comes back into the team, those little battles for the WK spot between him and Wadey will be great to watch. Its quite obvious that they're very good with the gloves on. Wade seems to be a good one day batter, and, to be honest, I haven't seen him play 4-day matches (I know Ryan Carters was tried in a few for Victoria and performed admirably). I think Paine is a good Test batter from what I've heard. I hope Wade gets games in the next few Tests for Australia.
Also, Chris Hartley. I saw he made 111 in the 1st innings for the Bulls and has been keeping very well for them for a little while. How long until he's at least considered for Australia?
I think above all, Matthew Wade's age works best in his favour. His keeping still needs some improvement but that will come (he's only 24).
I'd love to see Tim Paine back for Australia as a keeper but his hands seem shot and he may be a liability. (Maybe he should just play as a specialist batsmen alongside Wade)
Also, in relation to the controversy around the nature of the board at the moment. When I stumpled across this place (Late 2009ish) the board was really classy and had a great rep. No one ever posted meaningless crap, people pumped out guernsey concepts (especially at the time GCFC had just been announced)and talked about footy jumpers. But above all, everyone was hard on eachother, but had respect. If you got criticism on a design, you copped it on the chin and moved on, something I don't see a lot of anymore.
And on a completely unrelated but somewhat weird note, look at this design I found from the 'Create A Logo' Thread from 27 December 2009!
Maybe someone from Richmond was trolling old threads when they were designing the new logo
