Well, well, well.

Isn’t it just ironic. I remember you producing Neil McKenzie’s stats of two/three year ago against WI, Eng and Bangladesh when you were on your crusade to have him included in the test team ahead of Prince.

You are a joke.

“Like any cricket who goes slightly off the boil,…”

“If he doesn’t get it back in a reasonable time, but all means drop him, but to do so after one mediocre series would be foolish and unfair.

Both these statements indicate to me that Harris’ performance this season was not as good as it can/should be in comparison with his overall performance.

Now, what was it that I said that got our resident cricket expert WP_ spewing foam around the corner of his mouth. Let me see:

I don’t know why you have your panties tied in a knot re this Harris issue. I was merely responding to Quota_Duminy_Quota_Prince’s statement “Its not about race. Its about performance.” regarding his choice of nic. You really can’t tell me that Harris performed well this season.

89
I agree with you that his overall record is decent, but as far as this season is concerned, he should be included in that other guys’ name as a below average performer.

Compare that to your analysis of Harris’ season.
It went from “not bad” (37) to “well” (76) to “solid” and “pretty good” (142)

How is it that you agree with Kerneels if he says Harris has underperformed this season yet you disagree with me if I say the same?

@TheTackler:
Jefferies took 10 for WP against OVS, if my memory serves me correctly. It was not in a “test” against the rebels.

Yes, and so did James Laker in 1956 against Australia…in a Test!

And he took 19 wickets in both innings…still a record for best Test bowling:

James Laker, 19/90!

When…

I remeber that, i think I was at that game.

The Proteas seven wickets for 41 runs needs very little improvement Pilgrim.

Stop being yourself. It isn’t working for us either…

ALL bowlers always need to improve. Harris is no different. But Harris has a very good test analysis by world standards: superb, team-leading economy and he regularly takes several top-order key wickets. He got a fifer in the 2nd test against England, for instance — winkling out the top order with flight, guile, and subtle variation rather than just out-and-out mega-spin off the deck. And his deliveries are all non-chucking and legal, unlike Botha who chucks.

But then you’ve never been one to be weighed down by facts.

I suggest you aim your ire in the right direction, Skop. His name is Gerald Majola.

I do agree, though, that Arthur was useless.

No surprise that the new captain is of colour

He’s served his dues at that franchise that’s for sure. He’s captained since 2004
