On the top left of the banner, it looks like a picture of NZ's captain Flemming playing a nice on drive, and the shadow in front of the earth symbol looks like Dravid celebrating a century.

Now seeing Fleming rarely executes the on drive sucessfully, and Dravis rarely hits many tons these days, is it not time to change those two for someone else - an Australian someone else to be exact.

My reasoning is that Australians are the world champions in both forms of the game, are the moral leaders of world cricket, technical leaders of world cricket, and by and large more handsome player for player. Green and gold looks cool to.
What do you think?

Hmmm...I can't see it. Dravid celebrating a century, I mean. Just looks like a guy with big ears (I reckon psychologists will have a field day with that one)

And what's wrong with Fleming?! I can look (stare) at him the whole day long....

I could say a bit about this but I'm a good girl... (Of course I know you said that tongue-in-cheek as well!)

(I actually need a "laughing-my- head-off emoticon here...Ern please help)

I like the banner. But maybe we need the world's best bowler in there are well...How about Shoaib?

You know, renowned though Australians are for their ironic wit and sense of humour , I don't think he meant it tongue-in-cheek He's not coming anywhere near this banner, thank you very much!! Why not Murali? Or even Ntini? Both are much better cricketers, role-models, and all-round decent blokes.

I thought this WHOLE thread was made in a not-serious, tongue-in-cheek way....

Now, if you want me to be serious about adding a bowler there, I'd definitely go with either of the ones you mention, or even one or two others...

Yes you are world champions but moral leaders ????? Don't make me laugh.

Yes you are technical leaders but more handsome ????

Oh yes i almost forgot,green and canary yellow looks stupid.

I thought it was canary yellow and green...(empahisis on canary)

How about the aussie players wives ? That is something that the aussies do consitantly well at since sliny minky gave smith the big heave-ho.

It would be good if that Shadowed batsman (Dravid according to Seamer) was there as the logo of the site without the Fleming (or any other cricketer).

I always thought it was Dan Vettori playing the on drive there, as I think I can see his glasses and Fleming rarely wears a jumper, let alone a full-length sleeved one. I like the banner really, I don't want to see it changed.

On another note:

Mike Hussey? Ricky Ponting? Shane Warne? Simon Katich? Glenn McGrath? As far as I see it only Gilchrist and Langer would merit that accolade!
