There are two people I tend never to take notice of - Peter Roebuck & Ian Chappell.

However I did get as far as the first few lines of the above link. Then I realised why I never take notice.

Well, i hope Roebuck has played with hard cricket balls. If not , then what he says is obviously rubbish IMO however lengthy his articles are.

Hashim Amla. When he first appeared on the scene I wasn't his biggest fan and i'm still not....he has matured into a very good batsmen and will likely be a mainstay of the SA test and ODI team for a while.

Humble pies by KP after knocking the double. A lot more by Broad as he picked 7 wickets and scored the precious 50+ which ensured Prior was not left out of partners. Both, who many a fans feel should have been dropped have proved their worth by making most valuable contributions in this test match. Well played guys, cricketers rock :dance

I said that Tremlett should never be taken to Australia - that he was injury prone and didn't have the heart to be a fast bowler when the wickets are flat and slow.

Liam Dawson - the amount of complaining all us Hants fan have done about his poor performances with the bat, and this season he has been the only decent player.

If you're going to claim that failing to drop one player will lose you the entire series, you shouldhave the humble pie in the oven while you're claiming it
