Thanks mate, appreciate it

Interview with Trevor Chappell

Cheers Tim! Yep, fine suggestions there. Except the Laxman knock was before Wisden released its list, and actually ranked third on the list.

The Sangakkara knock seems quite popular judging by the feedback. I didn’t put it on the list because it was in a losing cause. But perhaps I’ve underestimated it. Certainly was a brilliant knock.

There’s certainly many fine innings out there. I’m sure I’ve missed some beauties! But I’ve got a few more coming in part two…..

Best Test innings since 2001 (Part I)

Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback. It’s good to have a sensible debate. After all, would be boring if we all shared the same opinion!

It's Mitch Marsh's time to shine

Not having a go mate, just clarifying my position. I agree with your sentiments. I think Shaun Marsh in particular has had a good ride with the media because he dazzles in the shorter formats. I wouldn’t select him in tests. Khawaja has been treated unfairly and deserves a good run. I like Bailey, despite his poor first class record. I just reckon he adds steel and leadership. You’re right – Cosgrove shouldn’t be discarded.

The premise of the story was that Australia has had an infatuation with unearthing an all-rounder for an eternity, and if they’re going down that road, I would rather punt with 21-yr-old Marsh then 31-yr-old Watson. Personally, I wouldn’t play either in the First Test and would go with – Khawaja and Bailey in the middle order
