Re: The Official Cricket Thread Ponting has won 43 of 66 matches (as captain). I'm assuming around 13 draws and 10ish losses. Given any other player who has captained for over 20 test's, i'm quite sure he would have the highest winning percentage.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread This argument will continue to go around in circles so i rest my case with my last word: If by subjectivity you believe you can adjudge who is truely the best, wouldn't you like to believe Richie Benard when he says, Don Bradmad was the greatest batsmen he ever...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread They minimise subjectivity at-least, even upon interpretation, given they are correct facts. HOW CAN YOU ARGUE AGAINST THE DON BEING THE BEST BATSMEN OF ALL TIME WITH A BATTING AVERAGE OF ALMOST 100 WHEN, IN THAT TIME, ANYTHING ABOVE 40 WAS CONSIDERED...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread By the ICC's test match ranking system, yes you are correct. We got beaten at home by SA and lost to England again in the Ashes last yr

Depending on the position it might come down to marks, but usually interpersonal communication skills (which are easily judged in an interview) are the main focus, given you have already reached the interview phase of the employment process.

Back when i enrolled, you could not double major. Macquarie however, has great flexibility in picking units unrelated to your major, with your elective credit point's. I remember reading as of late, you now can choose to have a major and a minor (only 12 credit points for a designated area, as...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread lol what Statistics give you an unbiased mathematical breakdown of the performance of a team/player. By nature they are objective, and allow for proficient analysis into who performed at the highest standard, ceteris paribus.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Well think of it. Which method do most people refer to when they adjudge the greatest cricketing nation? Is it the test rankings or ODI trophy's, which i guess is the only tangible measure (ODI trophy's)

Re: The Official Cricket Thread He set aggressive fields, the bowlers were just not able to execute the plans (which worked in the 1st innings) and the English were able to scrap a draw. It was fine cricket. Well that happens. Team with character fight hard and can scrap a result. Happens in...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Looking back now, it is obvious that his decision to bat first was not a good one. Batting last at the SCG is however, equally as dangerous. To call him a bad captain for that error (and we won anyways) is beyond a joke.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread You're argument has no validity because mate, statistics are extremely important in determining a great captain. Let me guess, you play park cricket, Ponting has been playing professional cricket since he was 16. He has more of an idea than you buddy. by the...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread he had reason for bowling the part-timers as you would know. He was in a tough predicament. Yes, we have lost 2 ashes, the one in 05, england had a great side just basically outplayed us (in the matches we didn't have mcgrath). How can you blame that on the...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Having played cricket at a professional level in the past (2 seasons of 1st grade), i wholeheartedly believe Ponting is not a bad captain. Most of the strategy, which is a big part in any professional team sport, is derived from the coach and the support staff...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Has won the most test matches as captain in the history of the game. oh yes, a horrible captain as for being arrogant, australia has been the top cricketing nation for some time, and for us to be coming back into the pack would be hard to take graciously.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Ponting is a great captain. Just look at the statistics you idiot.

why would they blatantly lie with their list of requirements? i'm sure that would deter the rest of the economics students. not to worry, i have a > than credit average anywayy

Re: The Official Cricket Thread if australia get to 240ish i would put my money on australia.

for pretty much all the government departments you need either honours/masters or a credit average +
