Video: The best of David Beckham (14)
- AlexMilic: the best of David Beckham was that penalty against Portugal at Euro 2004 that was class
- Shahsan: Correction: he left the field early against Portugal in teh quarterfinal in 2006, but he was ineffectual until then, while his replacement, Aaron Lennon, proved much more dangerous and should have come on earlier.
- Shahsan: See my post above.
- Shahsan: Go look at the La Liga thing again. He played but it is arguable to say he was instrumental. Beckham benefited from being a media drawcard. Look at every game he played on tour or in the US league or when he returned to La Liga:...
- Colin N: “Great with a deadball, but only an average team player.” That’s a contradiction in terms. How can a player who provides people with assists not be a team player? And I disagree with Shahsan that he...

Shane Warne is the idiot-savant of cricket. Ian Chappell was right that Warne would have made a brilliant captain of Australia. Unfortunately, Warne’s off-the field antics ruined all this. But his cricket brain is brilliant, as he should during the T20 frolic a couple of days ago. He is right about Philip Hughes, Steve Smith and Moises Henriques. The first two, particularly, are Test cricketers for the next decade or so. Smith should take the spinning role from Nathan Hauritz. He can bat splendidly, and right now he is in the mould of a young Richie Benaud. In the future, he is an Australian captain.
