Yes, providing its a fair contest between bat and ball
Have you been watching the drawfests in recent International cricket
SA V PA...IN V NZ....SL V WI
Too many draws in thier series


Flat decks are slowly going to kill of cricket enthusiam
And also kill off the 10 year fast bowling superstars we used to have

Ever seen that commercial with Mitch Johnson
I play x amont of days
I bowl x amount of overs
I....
They forgot to keep filming the commercial to entail :
I reckon I am rooted from the hard grind of cricket
I was once an International cricketer of the year, now Im rooted and lost my confidence
Im that rooted I bowl at below 140 kms these days , I used to bowl 148-150kms

and
Perhaps these commercials in the future
I am Doug I got injured in India after playing bash cricket in Africa, been off for awhile
I am Hilf, I played my first test v EG after getting injured
I am Ryan, no excuses, I have a bung knee, which will be rooted if I have to play on flat decks
I am Peter Sizzle , I got a hat trick after having about a year of Test Cricket becoz of Injury

Yeah, they struggled for so long to find a solid number 3, he's much better suited at 6, Bopara was another one that played more matches than runs scored.

[RoosterMarty]

Good start.

[Brodlach]

Katich run out without facing a ball 1/0

[Dogwatcher]

Katich and Watson have real issues with their running between wickets.
This is not an isolated example.

[Brodlach]

Ponting out first ball 2/0

Caught in the slips

[Jim05]

Pathetic. Katich diamond duck. How the ***** can you get run out first over.
Ponting out goldie

[Lightning McQueen]

NO!

[Gingernuts]

Ponting out first ball 2/0

Caught in the slips

[RoosterMarty]

[Jim05]

[Brodlach]
