Cricket achievements of CWers

[CricAddict]

Just read SCC's interview and saw that he has played first division. If we have to rank CWers in terms of cricket achievements, how will they rank? JimmyGS clearly is at top being a successful international player but I do not have much idea about others here and interested to know.

To rank as of now,

1. JimmyGS: International test player - NZ
2. SillyCowCorner: First Division - WI

Has anyone here played first class cricket for their country?

We all know he's a better spinner than Mark Craig. Just ask him.

 

[TheJediBrah]

tbf you don't have to be a first-class standard cricketer to be a better spinner than Mark Craig

Goughy played and coached to a high level iirc. Was in the WI for a while if I’m not dreaming that up.

But being serious for a moment:

Mathew Sinclair has an account here
Michael Atherton supposedly lurks the forum

Then you have people like Andrew Gale, Chris Taylor and Chris Mpofu be involved with the site.

I can think of a few actual posters here who are good, but none on Neesham's level.

Funnily enough social himself is/was a very handy cricketer - apparently played FC cricket and was at least a quality grade cricketer.

Just trying to picture Michael Atherton reading Off Topic in his spare time

Doesn't the interface/platform maketh the man?

Predict how long he'll last on CW...

SJS has played a bit with some quality cricketers too, I think. And of course, there is our own vic_orthodox.

Yeah, gave up because everyone doubted it was him. Probably CW's darkest day tbh. What a player he was. The insights he could have provided here... smh

Ian Pont famously posted on here regarding Atul Sharma and copped an absolute bucketing from a lot of posters
