Boyce is 10 times the spinner.

Pattinson was way out of form when played in the ODI's and got smashed as a result. Siddle was shit all ashes series but was hidden behind Harris and Johnson
Yeah, now you're definitely taking the piss with that Siddle comment (or you know **** all about cricket).

Boyce is a hack with one decent performance to his name in a T20. Warne came out of nowhere, he just had it, which Muirhead appears to have too.

Serious question...is it now mandatory to play for Victoria to get a gig in the Australian side....only justification i can think of that we give a game to these absolute potatoes:

- Maxwell
- Hodge
- Wade
- Christian
- Muirhead
- McKay

Then you have players such as Finch, White, Rodgers, Pattison and Siddle who have all been gifted games when others more deserving have missed out.
Mckay's record speaks for itself. Guy is class 1 day player..
Dont get me started on how the hell Muirhead got a game!!

Nice try, he always made runs when the openers had done their job and England were 2/400 or something like that. Most overrated cricketer of our generation.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Pietersen made 23 100's.
The following list shows the amount, who against, and what the innings score was when he came in.

158; Aust; 3 for 67
100; India; 3 for 100
158; Sri Lanka; 2 for 213
142; Sri Lanka; 2 for 69
135; Pakistan; 2 for 67
158; Aust; 2 for 45
109; Windies; 2 for 51
226; Windies; 2 for 91
134; India; 2 for 43
101; India; 2 for 86
129; NZ; 2 for 4
115; NZ; 2 for 47
152; South Africa; 2 for 117
100; South Africa; 2 for 51
144; India; 2 for 1
102; Windies; 2 for 27
227; Aust; 2 for 176
202; India; 2 for 62
175; India; 2 for 97
151; Sri Lanka; 2 for 213
149; South Africa; 2 for 85
186; India; 2 for 68
113; Aust; 3 for 64

So mate, you were half right maybe twice. You'll have to agree that only 2, maybe 3 of his tons were when his side were in a commanding position.
Whether you like it or not Pietersen is one of the greatest modern day players. Performed well against all sides, note none of those 100's were against minnows.
Your fail is complete.

Played cricket for my state in both primary and high school... Siddle is a dime a dozen bowler who is only in the side coz he is fit...it is no coincidence that the time he has led the Aussie attack has been our worst in two decades.

There were 10 better spin options than Muirhead. If you wanted to pick a spinner on form Hogg was the only choice. Muirhead has potential to be a decent state level player but shouldnt be anywhere near international cricket.

Mckay's record speaks for itself. Guy is class 1 day player..

Mckay is an absolute potato... Cant get a game in the Big Bash League yet somehow seems to be first picked for the Aussies.

Siddle was brilliant in the Ashes. Did his job superbly.
If his job was to hide his shithouse performance behind Johnson and Harris then he did ok. He was our 4th best bowler in the series

I think this stat supports your claims brilliantly Les. Coming in at 21 wickets down for only 68 runs to make 186; an innings of a true champion!
Seriously though I think people need to look past what a wanker KP is (and that he's actually from South Africa) and respect his achievements. He's a bloody good player.

Apostrophe, for someone who supposedly was a gun as a junior, you know very little about the game.
Siddle has been a terrific bowler for his country.
He's only 29, has good years to go.
51 tests, 183 runs @28.68 is an excellent career to date;
He's the one bowler we've been able to rely upon, while so many during this period come and go.
He's not the strike bowler Johnson is, but he doesn't have the absoute shockers Johnson has had.
Siddle's 16 wickets at 24 during the ashes series was good, especially when 1 bloke takes 37 wickets.

Agreed, and I'd like to think I shot that tosser's claim that KP was overrated and only played well when his side was as already on fire.
I do remember that match in India, coming in at 21 down for only 68. A lively, green top, spinning pitch, that's for ******* shizzle.

Lyon should be our T20 spin bowler, made is name in T20 and still doing fantastic for the Sixers.

Econemy rate under 5 and an average of 24 in ODI's.. not much wrong with that.

Siddle's job is to bowl tight and dry up the runs, which he did by having the best econemy rate through the series.

As much as I hate him, that last century against South Africa was one of the best I have seen. Absolutely dominated against Steyn, Philander and Morkel

Also that 186 (lol Melbourne) against India in India changed the whole series England's way

Siddle wasn't required in this series like he often has been in the past because we had them on the ropes nearly all the time. But in the last 3 or so years, whenever Australia have got a group of wickets after the opposition puts together a steady partnership, 80% of the time it's Siddle who gets that first wicket.

He may not rip through teams like Johnson does, but he gets that first wicket that allows that type of bowler to go to town on the new batsmen.

The Adelaide Test his bowling to set up and dismiss Pietersen was pure class.. Bowl a nagging line and length to annoy/stop Pietersen from scoring and he will eventually get himself out. Boom, Pietersen plays on, Johnson comes on and cleans them up.

It's a shame Pieterson's career is over at the age of 33. He was bad in last series but still was top scorer for England:oops:. Seeing Chanderpaul and Sangakkara churn out run at their age make me think what if.

That 186 in Mumbai is talked about a bit. Series on the line, 17 wickets fell the same day he scored that ton.
It's proclaimed as the greatest English test innings in India.

Do they have a market for Brett Lee not being a complete bitch if he manages to take a wicket?
$18.50 he won't act like an attention whore. $1.04 he will. I don't mind is he acts the attention whore tonight........got some coin on Sixers @ $1.80. Very even game and I'm ready for the fail that may happen.

His best is test standard...when he is bowling 130km pies like he did all summer he isnt.

Admittedly he probably doesnt belong on the list as much as the others just amuses me that for years everyone was crying what about the vics yet now there are 300 vics in the side and 298 are undeserving of their place.

My nanna can keep better than Wade but he keeps being wheeled out

So a grand total of 6 hundreds that weren't scored on a road or played against a team a district cricketer would dominate. The most overrated cricketer of our generation.

You managed to post a lot of your stats incorrectly either because you are a simpleton or feel the need to lie to support your fragile argument.

I don't why I am bothering with a peasant like yourself but I will just so you dedicate another couple of hours to your life to this.

You seem very quick to congratulate yourself, this is probably because you haven't accomplished much in your life.
