Didn't say he ws a great captain. He is at least a good captain though.

PearlJ was funny

WTF did we need a poll for this?

HTF did we find 5 people to vote yes?

Obviously Poms backing him ahead of the Ashes

Still waiting for PearlJ's analysis of the 2009 ashes. Mysteriously, he hasn't been seen since Australia lost the urn.......

he captains a mediocre team...shock horror - the results are mediocre..

he is the best they have got within the xi that will be picked for the Ashes

I actually think Katich would be a better captain.

by philcric Wed 27 Oct 2010, 09:16

But horrie thinks Katich should not even be in the team.

true re fleas...also he is a divisive figure in the team...and his record as NSW captain is is average

Fred - so imitating the boston strangler in the dressing room was unifying?

btw Fred...in reality are you Shane Moloney or Bob Simpson?

Apparently (refer glos) he once thumped the increasingly thumpable Michael Clarke, and thanks to the magic of the Internet the story has been blown up into Ali v Frazier II because that's the preferred version of some internet types who think their life is more interesting that way.
