Well at least we produce our own rather than seeking them from South Africa.

India started to bowl pretty well with the second new ball. If they can keep that up then things will get interesting

Basil D'Oliveira was certainly pleased SA always picked home produced players, not!

Why was Keppler an A grade prick?

Must have been....he was a South African recruited by Australia.

But, of course, Australia only produce their own don't they?

Half of Australia's sportsmen seem to be imports

KP is a pom

There are only British players in the England cricket team

You are whatever you want to be

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)

OK, enough

I have removed a number of offensive and arguing posts. It was that or close the thread.

If you can't all be civilised and stick to discussing sport this thread will be closed. No more last chances. End of.

Really?

Anyhow, the thing with A grade pricks is they tend to be match winners. Warner, Botham, Broad, Warne, Pieterson, Steyne. You'd have them all in your team. They provide the edge.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)

OK lets lighten it up a bit (I actually didn't think it was anything more than a bit of banter anyway)
