Two classic cases of NSR directly above... Very Happy

Yeah, and I'm very interested in that land under Sydney Harbor Bridge too....

So far in this series, Chanders has done nothing but bolster his reputation as currently one of the world's finest batsmen.

has been excellent over the past year

"So far in this series, Chanders has done nothing...."

Hopefully WIFAN, unlike some other forumers from some other places, keeps reading past that point, or there will be real trouble....

Chanders really should be batting higher. He is going to run out of partners yet again.

Thus ensuring he keeps his average up over 45 . . . he's a good little batsman and certainly no fool . . .

Average over 40 is world class.

What does that make an average of over 45?

40 is small "g" great according to LLL, yeah? Maybe 45 is middle "G" great . . .?

He bats in the same position as Clarke, who was found wanting at number 4.

And along comes Trev, who definitely capital, bold-face 'G' grates....

Is anyone else already thoroughly annoyed by Brad Haddin's loud yelping after every single ball?

by skully Mon 02 Jun 2008, 11:01

He does it just for you, Trev. You'll be hearing it for the next 60 Aussie Tests, so get used to it, sunshine.

by Henry Mon 02 Jun 2008, 11:05

You'll be hearing it for the next 60 Aussie Tests

Australian wicketkeeping in crisis.

by Fred Nerk Mon 02 Jun 2008, 11:07

At least there's no 'Boweling Shine!' or 'Great areas!' (WETF that ever meant) from this bloke.

Although you only heard that from Heals or Gilly when a spin bowler bowled a reasonable ball, and God knows that aint happened often while Brad's been in the team....

Urgent message for Mark Nicholas: No yelping. Trev doesn't like it.

Bwahahaha, gibbering Pommy Gold. Remind me how many keepers you've had since Ashes 05???

Come on now skully, let's not get all keen. Surely the whole gag is we've been in wicket-keeping crisis for years whilst Aus haven't? No? Yeah? Maybe it's a statement we can finally pull out.

by Fred Nerk Mon 02 Jun 2008, 11:19

We might need to define 'keeper'. Depending on that, the answer could be anywhere between 0 and about 31.

Trev is devoid of a sense of humour (so I had discounted the possibility). It comes from being a bitter and twisted Englishman marooned in Aus (fark knows why he stays).

Not possible. I find him enormously funny at times.

He stays there because likes the Aussie lifestyle. He just hates the people sharing it with him.

One can only hope that's not the case. Where do I sign?

Feeling is mutual.
