It means many things but is mainly used by whiners to attack players they don't like. It is an extremely overused expression.

Id like to see some stats for this

A recent CA survey revealed that 84.5647862% of the people surveyed use the term fat track bully to belittle sportsmen or teams they don't like…

Maybe MJ is a flat track bully on non flat tracks.
16 ODI home wins in a row by Australia. .most ever.
Personal I prefer our test record..Australia has won 12 test series in the Sub Continent and has never been beaten in a test series in South Africa. That's a pretty good away record.
No Country from the Sub Continent has "Ever" won a test series in Australia
 
Either way I'd definitely class Johnson in the "legend" category and not as a "flat track bully". The way he came back from the low he had doesn't make him a worse player - it only makes him even better.

And we know who the .5647862 % of a person was , don't we Geo ??

I thought that a flat track bully was used along the same lines as a fair weather football team , when things are good they are great , when the jockey crack their whips these teams go missing when it counts and the pressures on
 
Despite having the burden of happy weighing him down..Maxwell produces and gets Australia home batting at 5…great innings...

Maxwell and your Predict 6 tips have something in common

Very occasionally they will be acceptable ….. very very occasionally :smiley:
 
Credit to him Maxwell came up with the bikkies last night. I said to my wife on the last run that he'd hole out trying to score a century… :laughing:

That's exactly what it means Hap old son. Can't believe people don't know that.

Not being a racing aficionado and only ever hearing the term used in reference to cricket I think one could be forgiven for not interpreting it in it's original context.
 
Who have Aussies named Geo / Ink ??

Warner seems to be absolutely deadly when games have little meaning or nothing on the line , just frees him up even more
 
Aussies have named a 14 as follows:

Smith
Bailey
Boland
Faulkner
Finch
Hastings
Hazlewood
Lyon
Darsh
MMarsh
Maxwell
Richardson
Wade
Warner

Since the series is one I'd gather Warner will sit out to spend time with the new addition.

If I were picking, Boland, Mitch Marsh would sit out with him but I gather they'll stick with Boland now that the series is one. He's going for over 7 an over and averaging 200, don't think he'll improve any time soon on pitches that offer nothing to the bowler. We should have persisted with Paris, he's far better of the two. I reckon the selectors will keep Hazlewood out and probably rest Mitch Marsh since they have Faulkner and Maxwell as all round options. Marsh has been disappointing this series.
 
Aussies take the field as..

Finch
Warner
Smith
Bailey
Maxwell
M Marsh
Wade
Faulkner
Hastings
Richardson
Lyon…
 
Would have traded out Mitch Marsh for Hazlewood.

Apart from that, it's the best team assembled from the 14 listed. I suppose they're banking on being able to bat deep to chase.

EDIT: Aussies batting first.
 
348 is a pretty handy score. Hope you didn't put too much cash on India. We've selected a pretty average bowling side. Looks like we are resting everyone for the NZ test.
