It wasn't suppose to be funny in the first place.Premature judgement is often fatal, besides haven't u read what RIK had to say about the averages of the great WI bowlers of the 80's? According to the pundit the averages of those great bowlers were Rubbish!!

He just said that they were better bowlers because they bowled in tandem. He meant to say that if only one of them were there and no great bowler at the other end then their record would not have been that good. Marc it was posted in the Most Overrated player thread.

Right this has gone way too far. Anway what you said was not funny, not true and totally out of place on here. Keep the subject on cricket. I may have been saying Yohannan is crap but at least I'm talking about cricket rather than insulting you.

And if it wasn't supposed to be funny why did you put a :lol: at the end? That's supposed to symbolise that it's a joke...

Rik,
U have been insulting great bowler(i'm not talking about Tinu here).Ur views are insult to imagination, every second player is crap for u, that simply isn't cricket! I have said that something is wrong about ur judgement and that is a fact!

Oh right, didn't remember that - had I done I would have responded.
 
I think Rik isn't aware what good averages really means as far as bowling is concerned, no wonder he has described the WI greats bowlers stats as Rubbish.

BTW, he doesn't like much cricketers , does he? and then he says he want to talk about cricket!!

Errrrm I do think some players are good its just that most of the players I think are slightly overrated have been brought up.

Oh dear warrioryohannan you don't seem to understand the value of having different threads so that you can then bring comments about what I have said in that thread...in that thread. Also I said their averages were crap, oh dear, what a crime, now tell me, have you ever heard of a lighthearted joke? I was saying it as a joke...like J.O.K.E. or do I have to explain that as well? You take what I say too literally and then when your having a go at me you bring something from another thread which has nothing to do with it at all and decide to have a go at me again...Leave it please I've said stop it and I mean it I have had enough of this.

Now now dear u are on the verge of breaking down, why do u take everything so deeply??.The point of using ur comments from another thread was that if someone can write of Great bowlers like that , then that person can't be taken seriously.
I don't know what kind of joke it was, but atlest put the smily next to such jokes, on such jokes the smily will be the only one who would be laughing, i can assure u on that!

My personal view is that posts in other threads should not be used as they have been made in different contexts completely to the current topic - also posts from 6 months back shouldn't be used if the circumstances have changed a lot in the interim period.

Thats ur opinion and i disagree with it.Also, the post wasn't 6 months old, was hradly a week old!

Anyway, i think this topic is going no where , i have nothing much to say on it!

Proved wrong?? over what?? i said i wanted to stop because the thread was getting no where.



And I wasn't talking about a post from Rik.
U were obviously then talking about Neil's older post, lemme tell u fellow , the criteria for judging a cricketer is still the same, nothing have changed .20+ onedayers and 15+ test matches are the minimum a player must have played before one can pass a judgement based on stats.
