Ned, I am willing to go with for Anfrew, but with the Hauritz one you went too far.

Let me officially state (even though almost no-one is going to trawl this far back into old posts, but this is for you Jrod) I told you so. McDonald, talent. And whilst I’m at it, Hauritz, talent.

@Pete, sunny was always an opponent of selecting players in their teens. he was also critical of sachin s selection at 16 . so. i surmise sunny didnt push his selection in any way. besides that, i agree with the rest of you

Anon and Vim, i’m not a great fan of Tendulkar’s record chasing antics either, or couldnt you figure that out.
Pointless, yeah, its always open season on him, hes just that kind of guy. No wonder you admire him so.

“Even though Pointless is an arsehole in the highest traditions of Aussie cricket, he wouldn’t do that – the twat would think he’s tarnishing the boggy green!”

This must be jogesh99’s idea of life with “nuances”

- if so, I’ll stick to being linear-minded, its certainly purer

What is is about the little short guy’s devotees that they have to be so crudely defamatory about everyone else?

So there you have it joges, even though I was offering a hypothetical it still gave someone a chance to abuse Punter on the basis of an imaginary action of his. God, what a surprise.

Look Tendulkar’s eventual century was meaningless, but the innings wasn’t, since India had actually contrived to almost lose the match. So fuck the stupid denary landmark, meant for the linear minded who can’t understand nuances.

I hope ponting scores century in every inning he plays. I am praying. I want ponting to beat all sachin records. I am indian but i am for all fair way to get your century. Not begging.

There’s no doubt some pressure on Tendulkar to finish above Punter on the runs and centuries tally. Wasn’t there some pressure from Sunny to ensure Sachin was selected in 1989 so that he made it in the team before the end of the decade?
