i reckon if Smth scores a century in the 2nd innings then milky should take MTBeer out for a romantic dinner...and if not...then MTBeer takes Milky out for a romantic dinner...what do you say? :devil:

So much wisdom ... at least something good will come of this match

where are you seeing "60plus" or what are you referring to here? Smith averaged 31.85 against India.

 

The stat that MTBeer put out did not show the India series showing his 62 average

1st Test 68 & 44

2nd Test 47 & 27 not out

 

Straus was never a consistent performer and unfortunately for Cook has not proved to be either although I rate him as a batsman.

Smith is currently ranked 13th (second opener)

 

As for scoring the way he has,

that is the curse of most openers.

Either go out for a low score or go big.

 

Consistent players in terms of getting a 50 every game are generally your 3/4/5

 

As for chirping his captaincy you really need to take another look

yeah I noticed mtbeer stats is different to cricinfo, so you were right with the 60avg, sorry for that.

At some stage Cook was hogging the Top 10rankings but not lately as stated already.

 

I have tried looking at it from all angles & his captaincy is one thing that is not going to change I've said it before he lacks the killer instinct.

well, if you want to get nit picky about it "and anyone who still wants him around is still living in the past & a bigger idiot!!!"

i.e. I'm an idiot.

just saying.

hence I was trying to call a truce (is that the correct spelling) the statement now only applies to hubbers who first called me a idiot for voicing my opinion, which the last time I checked we are all entitled to.

So just admit it,

As an opener he is still class (not a has been) and more than likely would be for years to come..

You can disagree on his captaincy, but you cannot say he is anything but exceptional as a captain.

More than a decade, most caps as a captain, nearly 2 years in the No.1 position and has beaten everyone away and home except the Ausies in SA.

 

You also have to remember he took over a team that was so poor they never even made the quarter finals at Home.

So they declared,

511 is a mammoth task,

but the way the pitch is playing and at a run rate of 3.75 anything is possible.

 

I hope Biff goes out and bashes a double and we take the match.

 

Would be a miraculous send off but it also wouldn't be the first time SA has produced the impossible.

Maybe we can distract them

That's it, let the crowd start singing:

Baa baa little sheeps... or maybe bye bye little sheeps

Wonder what impact this has on the morale of the team for the last two days of the test?

I think it is very selfish to make the announcement during the match.
