Re: Fallacies of modern test cricket

Tis not the runs they score but there ability to stick with the batsman in at the time which counts.

Anderson, Hoggard, Panesar - they're all Shoite!

Can't believe no one has said:

You need to bowl with less than 15 degrees of elbow bend to be "small-g great".

Joel Garner had the biggest phallus in modern test cricket (by all reports).

'Bowling' in a way such as Shoib, MM, etc is legal and should be allowed then Skully??

Erm no, holcs. The thread title is greatest fallicies. Please re-read my post with that in mind.

There's always been that joke floating around but he and Ritchie Richardson standing on the West Gate Bridge taking a leak.

Another fallacy would be that Hoggard has to go in as nightwatchman every time England loses a wicket in the shadow of stumps.

Non-professionals trashing the wisdom of experienced test cricketers but pontificating (made up stuff) themselves.

Isotonic water and protein shakes make you play better than beer and steak.

If you lose a wicket late in the day you should use a nightwatchman.

Being captain of a side that wins lots of its matches makes you a great captain.

That's a fallacy?

Conversely, we have the utter bollocks rantings that additional pace is somehow sacrosanct.

That qualifies as a "modern" fallacy?
