Chapelli/Boycott - Who was a BITTER legend.

No Alderman either I see.

Mark Waugh in but no Tugga?  Crapelli has zero cred and is a complete bitter old qunt. Tugga would just smirk.

When Neil Harvey dies, the papers will knock on Crapelli's front door for a bitter headline.

Fark me, that's an awful list.

Worst thing about this thread is realising how maggoted you must have been back in the day.

You're instead of your? Plus AB being so low and alderman missing out.

Obviously biased list, SRT isn't in it.

He he he. Pay that one.

Here's a list for you then:

1. BCL
2. SRT

Where's viv?

An inanimate carbon rod could have picked 1 and 2.

I love Doug Walters in a man-crush sort of way, but to rank him at 8 in ASHES cricket is clearly ludicrous, and really it is a perfect illustration of why Chappell was, is, and always be a qunt. He was a 'my way or the highway' man. He chose favourites - nay disciples - and if you weren't one, you could get f*cked.

Alderman not there is a joke, as is the low ranking of Border and the absence of Waugh ... the latter were both independent thinkers who did not fawn at the feet of the blokey chappelli godhead.

chappelli has out-harveyed the original bitter old blurter.

I wouldn't go as far as qunt, just a touch delusional.

but Chappelli isn't just any old qunt, he's the world standard, the calibration tool.

I too was a massive Dougie fan, but after his fantastic opening series in Tests in 65-66 - 2 tons in first 2 Tests, Walters only had a handful of other knocks (2 other tons + 3 80s) to speak of in Ashes contests. His Ashes average was an ordinary 35.37. Hardly top 25 material.

Tugga, on the other hand, managed a stellar 58.18 v Poms.

Get yer head out of yer arse, Crappelli.

Let alone his record from 1972 which is what the list was about.

Ah yes. Dougie's Ashes average from 1972 to the end of his career was 27.58, with just the single ton (that majestic ton-in-a-session-brought-up-with-a-last-ball-6 effort in Perth in Dec 1974).

For Chappelli, that outweighs Steve Waugh's own last ball of the day ton, as well as twin tons at Old Trafford (only one other person got past 60 in the test), a ton on one leg at the Oval, his 100+ average in the 1989 series and so on.

Anyone who thinks that Chappelli isn't a bitter old qunt is delusional.

2nded.

Ouch. I was just getting into the spirit of the day. The qmy church is a broad one. I'm a walking BV.

Bon Vivant?

I think he's mellowed. 10 years ago he would never have picked Botham.
