I am thinking of getting a #DEVEREUX t-shirt printed so I can wear it to the World Cup game that I am going to.
That's if he is selected for the ODI team and he bloody well should be.
― AB de Villiers Terrace (King Boy Pato), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 08:51 (ten years ago) link
he's maybe like third name on the ODI teamsheet now, confirmed beyond all doubt whatsoever
― imago, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 08:53 (ten years ago) link
his batting style is really good - positive and unorthodox but so compact, like a more aggressive steve waugh

Never underestimate the bizarre CA selection policy.

Ed Cowan is going great guns! But he's far too indie for the XI.

he's this generation's macgill, way too intellectual for his own good

I'm trying to imagine a conversation between Ed Cowan and Dave Warner.

Dave Warner was there with his kid and QGP was all like "gee Dave Warner is one of those annoying people that has to take his baby everywhere!"

I'll also note that QGP is the biggest fan of Devereux ever.

well the thing is that Lyon was suggested by some writers for the Vice Captain role back when Smith was made captain, by dint of being a good team guy and not being batshit stupid like Warner
YOU CAN'T HAVE A BOWLER AS CAPTAIN HOWEVER THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW
