Did you get to see Simpson play a bit?


Nup. But his record of reportedly never grassing a chance can't be ignored.

Michael Clarke often gets missed when talking about good fielders and batters.
He was very good at both.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

All round Ponting the best fieldsman the game has seen. Outstanding record of direct hits.

Best Gully fieldsman Ashley Mallet

Jesus DOC, you're older than I had you down for, what was Victor Trumper like in the field?


Always questionable on his left side due to an early injury from a horse. (We rode to school together). Always thought he was a bit suspect being a rugby bum sniffer!

Strange move, would have thought they would go with the additional off spinner in Sydney.

You're listening on ABC obviously?
It's seems as though as soon as he comes on commentary he starts whinging about something.

Ha Ha

He's basically right though, the whole English attitude this series is the reason why they are behind. Not making us play so we dont score runs is completely defeatist.

People can whinge all they like about him but you cant knock the validity of his tactical knowledge on the game of cricket.

As soon as I heard home talk about his Brisbane test on 74-75 I knew the wet-blankets would be out and about.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Yes you're right, you can't knock his tactical knowledge and when he was on channel 9 when I was growing up I enjoyed listening to him about tactics and captaincy and learnt alot about cricket from him but now he finds something he doesn't like or he deems as wrong and can't seem to stop bringing it up and just keeps going on about it to the point where he's too hard to listen to. To me he just comes across as a Grumpy Old Man now.

Like I've said before he's become a real 'back in my day' type operator and I don't want to continually listen to what he did over 40 years ago.

This is Jimmy Andersons 169th test match and has gone clear of Ponting and Waugh who both played 168. Anderson is now second to Tendulkar (who played 200) in most test matches played.

This is also Joe Roots 60th test as England captain going clear of Cook who captained 59 matches.

Would love to see Harris hit runs today.

Whilst his struggled he seems to be someone with a lot of heart and a really good bloke.

Best Gully fieldsman Ashley Mallet

I think Matty Hayden was one of the best behind the wicket catchers, whether in the gully or slip.
