Really is amazing.He had it down by the 'Advanced Hair Studio'. Pretty great effort considering his hairline was Vince van der Bijl like. Looks good!
Though my old man always says that bald is the new mullet - people go out to buy bald wigs these days!

Looked better with no hair on his head tbh, poor form.

Hopes better One day player, Watson better first class player.

Nah, would rather have Watson for both forms over Hopes.
It's Chris Cairns vs Paul Hitchcock really.

Haha.
Would have them both in my One day team, but if it was a selection battle between the two, then would pick Hopes over Watson. No contest in first class though.

Nah, Hopes is more of a bits and pieces player. He's not bad in OD's, certainly. A very handy player, but Watson, to me, is the more complete cricketer and could be a front line bowler and a middle to top order batsman. Hopes is 5th bowler and lower order batsman.
Watson>>>Hopes.
Watson>>>Hopes.

Rate Hopes' bowling 3 times better that Watson's, tbh. Just an opinion thing, I suppose. Watson probably a better batsman... strike that; a more consistant batsman.

Hopes' bowling is so under-rated in one dayers it's not funny. He can easily bowl 1st change our 3rd change without any problems. Probably doesn't have the variety of Watson, but if used properly by his captain, as Ponting has, he can be extremely effective at keeping the runs tight and grabs the odd wicket. He's shown his versatility as a batsman, batting from opener to 7/8. Certainly more than a bits and pieces player. More a versatile player.

Being a NZ fan, I know a bits and pieces player when I see one. Hopes is bits and pieces.

Haha. Would be Vice Captain of the New Zealand side, bat at 4 and 1st change, in both forms.

GAGFC. He'd only make the side if Oram got injured.
