I have nothing against Haddin per se
Despite being a complete **** for the majority of his career, he seems to have turned that around
He was excellent for a period, garbage for a bit more and great this year
But when people claim he is the best in the world, it really pisses me off and particularly when he has let Oz down time and again
It's like saying Johnson is the world's best bowler - it's rubbish
FYI, there is a guy in SA who is not only one of the best batsmen in the world but has just won MOS for his keeping in a series between 1 & 2 (i.e. not hack v hack)
He is on a whole different level to Haddin so don't let his local fan club tell you any different

Can anyone answer this? Like if the 12th man came on and got 7 run outs would they actually be eligible?

Good question Riggins, let's put it to the panel.
Nah POTY is definitely your claim that Oz tanked the CT last year
Hilarious
Then again, I was just about the only poster to forecast that Oz would exit the tourney after losing all their group matches
Remind me again what you predicted at the time

Say hi to her for me. She's a delight. She hosted me at a charity function at Admiralty House last winter. Gracious and stylish lady.
I wish to emphasise I was not the nominated charity.

You can emphasise that but we won't believe you.
crazy to think the decision to stage all Ryobi cup matches in Sydney saved Australian cricket

I think the television coverage was good for the domestic game (even if only Ryobi cup). Actually, is there more to this post or is it tongue in cheek stuff? ie someone actually saying it saved Australian cricket?
Who's the wicket-keeping Steyn (or Philander)? As for the guy in SA, he is probably the best wk bat in the world but give me Haddin any day when the side are 120-5 and not 500-5. It doesn't matter if it was 1 vs 2. Talk about England's bowling vs India's bowling...more relevant than merely talking about the rankings. And I don't see how this English side is suddenly a hack? Even if it is now, it wasn't before the series started.
So even if Abd is better (which I don't contest) who else is better currently? Prior? No. Dhoni? No. Prasanna Jayawardene? No.
Adnan Akmal, perhaps?

Glad I slept through this one. Dire again by England. Only another fortnight to wait till it can be erased from memory for ever.
