All Time Test Cricket's XI - Greatest Basketcases...

he'd just prefer that warnie was a chipster

Geeez you're a bitter little cunut, MS . . . did Warnie bang the missus?

The better question would be to ask if you're related to him. If the family says know you know one of your parents is a liar.

Yeah, I can kind of make out an insult in there somewhere . . .

Wayne B Phillips ... not the other one. Graeme Watson.

He really wanted to play baseball rather than cricket. He had the talent but not the motivation.
The next Waugh brother was supposed to have been more talented than his elders as a youngster, too.

There seems to be a moral there somewhere . . .

The youngest brother is always best until seen.

Shuttp red.

Beginning to look like Asif is also destined to go down Akhter's way to bag the basket case of Pakistan award.....

Are Bhajji and Yuvi on this list? If not, they've earned their right to be on here, so they should be.

Any one mentioned Zahid yet?

Who? Mohd. the bowler?

Bhajji definately makes tha basket case list. Sree to follow within a year or so I reckon.....

I would have added Mohd. Kaif as a basket case....except that there is no case here. He never had the talent to waste and was infact a overhyped player, whose capabilities were grossly over-estimated.

BTW, well done Butman, it's not often a thread gets locked down by Dello within 5 minutes. You certainly are a 'special' person.

Seconded.

Ah the potential for a forum messacre was obvious eh?
Would have been some fun pages cruelly nipped in the bud.
Don't see how that thread could have gotten as bad as some of the more recent ones involving Jack, Taips, Danny and Dem. Passions here among forummers aren't exactly world's best kept secrets.


Now if you are done squeezing your own tits......

I vaguely recall that for one of the very early England tours of Aust (may have even been the first one) they first went to NZ and the keeper didn't make the trip to Australia in time for the first test because he was in gaol after a bar fight.

Actually read about that a couple of weeks back.

The forum has been very harmonious of late, (mostly cos tac hasn't actually been around......) so why do you want to stir it all up again?

No stirrup would have happened at all. I think most sh!tfests are done and over and people have moved on. JD just got a tad paranoid is all. It's not like which forummer here hates who is a big secret, is it?

Hate is a bit strong. I don't hate anyone here. I said not so long ago that there's no one here I wouldn't mind having a drink with.

Ok here's a politically correct post -

There. Now lets go have a drink. As long as you don't push for visiting my apartment late night after drinking.

Do you look over 25?

I do look under 30. Why?
