@SidBarret So John Mitchell was Mark Hammett before Mark Hammett?

LOL, I think the #culture is on Ackerman. He just fixed some stuff at a time when they needed to be fix. Lucky coincidence if you will

On that point I think he is perfect for the bulls right now. He will leave them better than he found them, but everyone will be happy after the divorce.

<p>Supposedly, they decided he had a weakness against the short ball. Mainly, I think he had a very poor 1997, so they dropped him, and by the time he was ready to come back they didn't need him. Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Waugh, Martyn, Waugh, Gilly - not much room for giving someone a second chance.</p>

<p>There were a bunch of Aussie batsman around that time that we probably would have given eye teeth for, who couldn't make their team - <strong>Slater, Elliott, Bevan, Blewett, Martin Love....</strong></p>

<p>A few commentators said that Matthew Hayden should emigrate to NZ to get a chance cos there was no way he was gonna get in ahead of Tubs and Slats, as good as those two were though he set the bar even higher.</p>
