Darren Berry at 80 is equally absurd IMO. As for Richie Richardson at 70 MG he destroyed us single handledly in the West Indies.

Watto was on TGM's IPL team ....now you see how ridiculous it is using IPL form as a serious guide?

Chuckles is his mate ....and probably kept to TGM as well as anyone

Richie Rich averaged 40 against Oz when TGM played (4 below his career) ...he scored 2 tons ...one was overshadowed by BCL getting 277 and the other one was in the Test that Tugga got his 200 and we won back Frank ... probably easy for TGM to over look

Has Warne played with Border?

Yep, he definitely did.

by Chandan on Tue Sep 30, 2008 6:46 pm

When?

by embee on Tue Sep 30, 2008 6:48 pm

AB was his first captain

You don't remember Warne's debut series?

Warne is guilty of a lot of things but I have never seen that criticism levelled.

This passes for comedy where you live? Must be the high altitude . . .

And only a short few months ago you called me an honorary Aussie because of my sense of humour.

My, how times have changed.

I have the 2001 version of Warnie's book.

It didn't occur to me though it should have, that his latest book was so recent that it was post IPL. At least he saw the new fit Watson at VERY close quarters which gives him a more reasonable excuse for selecting him.

Yes Chuckles was raved about in the 2001 version too.
