Pig....

His behaviour during the last summer tour here in Australia was a disgrace.

it's funny cause you think for someone so big and aggressive he would be a fast bowler. But instead he bowls spin.

As for his behaviour. Not good for cricket, not very sportman like. However last year I enjoyed his clashes with Mitchel Johnson and Brad Haddin.

I didn't, I think he's a pig and should be banned for life.

But what about confrontations like

Lillie and Miandad.

Steve Waugh and Curtly Ambrose (my vote for the greatest of all)

Ranatunga and anyone

Sreesanth and Sydmonds

Mcgrath and Sarwan (not the greatest when I found out the nature of it, but at the time)

Or most famously of all

Me and some bald fast bowler who bowled me a beamer at my head.

The Aussies were right in retaliating, we get provoked by thugs.
Ranatunga was a tosser.

Over the time I have read your posts on this forum, I have come to know you as an intelligent Englishman who is quite knowledgeable in many sports.

However, your last comment leaves me questioning my abovementioned statement.

Aussies, 3-1

It's on like Donkey Kong.

So last time England won in Australia was 1986 if I'm not mistaken?

That was the year I was born.

it won't happen this year. Not with Doug the Rug.

Peter Siddle!
And he's a Victorian!

I really like Siddle. I think the amount of aggression and effort he brings is awesome. However, Doug probably has him at the moment, cause Siddle is only just coming back from injury, but I also think Doug is a better bowler.

In saying this, I would really like Siddle to hit some really good form again because I would have him in my side. He and Doug put the effort in all throughout their spell. Johnson is the best of all 3, but doesn't have the same intensity.

If I was choosing 3 quicks I'd go Johnson, Doug and probably Hilf. Rounded out with Hauritz and then I maybe I would put Steve Smith in for North.

So bowling options would be

Johnson
Doug
Hilf
Hauritz
Smith
Watson
Clarke

That is why I like Sids and Dougie.
Workhorses, constantly going in hard with aggression.
