  • Rancid SchnitzelR Rancid Schnitzel

    Jesus. You guys could eat me and have room for dessert. I’m barely 70kg these days.

    Got as high as 90 back in my GAINZ days where I ate shit, drank heaps and was allergic to cardio. That’s quite a lot for someone who is only 174cm.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel try 113kg at 176cm!! Then again I'm an ex-prop and that was during my powerlifting phase. Mid-high 90's now after slaying kai and beer during the holidays and back on the path to low 90's which is my target weight.

      Did somebody say nugget! You must have been a nightmare to tackle.

        As if I'd be that creepy.

        I mean, I'd definitely wear a mask at least.

                    I like to think of myself as normal height and those taller as oversized. Which doesn’t help much as it also applies to my 12 year old. Båstard is already patting me on the head.

                        If you were a LH you must have given a few of those 6' 2" THs a few problems at scrum time!

                          That would make sense because it is the normal height 😁. Pity I had zero ability to concentrate at the crease. Once I hit my first 6 I didn’t see the point in singles after that.

                            That is very true. Who are great test batsman who are tall blokes ?

                            Hayden, Pietersen, Graeme Smith......hard to name many

                            Definitely an issue with the Waughs.....Mark was noticeably taller which meant Steve was better.

                              That explains a lot. SMS (not the phone sort).

                              If you play cricket and are tall, you generally get pushed in the direction of fast bowling. If you are short you get pushed towards batting. Not hard to see how it works. KJ is an example, ex opening batsman, now fast bowler.

                              Not too many tall half backs or short locks either (unless you play for the 'canes).

                                I like to think of myself as normal height and those taller as oversized. Which doesn’t help much as it also applies to my 12 year old. Båstard is already patting me on the head.

                                If it helps, most of the 20 best ever test cricket batsmen were about your height!

                                That is very true. Who are great test batsman who are tall blokes ?

                                Hayden, Pietersen, Graeme Smith......hard to name many

                                Definitely an issue with the Waughs.....Mark was noticeably taller which meant Steve was better.

                                Try naming the good under-tall bowlers as well. Quicks in particular.

                                I have Danny Morrison (and not much else).

                                  There are always some examples. Dale Steyn and Malcolm Marshall come to mind.

                                      You're all midgets.

                                      I like to think of myself as normal height and those taller as oversized. Which doesn’t help much as it also applies to my 12 year old. Båstard is already patting me on the head.

                                      If it helps, most of the 20 best ever test cricket batsmen were about your height!

                                      Definitely an issue with the Waughs.....Mark was noticeably taller which meant Steve was better.

                                          Actually you said "great". Thought that it would get mentioned - but I had nothing. So a liberal interpretation of "good".

                                          Average height of a Kiwi male is still only 1.78 (and we are considered tall by world standards). Steyn is 1.79 apparently and Marshal was 1.8 so not short.

                                          I am very suspicious of Danny Morrison being 1.88 which rules him out too (regardless of how good he was).

                                          So fast bowlers under 1.78?
