@Zinzan, please name these 3-4 Indian posters who you think are ganging up on you. It's better to get it out in the open.
I assume he means me, *****, Shri and/or Daemon.

Me and Zinzan genuinely do not like each other and I've avoided replying to most of his posts because it usually ends up stinking up the place. Recently I've actively avoided "ganging up" on him (ie) just repeat whatever ***** or Shri were saying to pile it on. So I don't know. And in this thread, it hasn't happened at all. In fact, the first few posters to disagree with him here were non-indians anyway.

If anything it happened more to other Indian posters like weldone, Pratters and on occasion, hb.

tbf you, ***** and Daemon are all pretty sensible posters and if you're all "ganging up" on someone it's a good bet that someone needs a rethink

Whatever it takes!!!
I really don't want to keep this thing going, and was going to let this slide, but where have I constantly posted about Jadeja not being deserving of the number 1 ranking outside my post in this thread? At best I may have mentioned it on one other occasion, with several others comments about his over the top screaming when appealing, although I should add that wasn't nearly as bad under DRS.

If I am not wrong, there were any number of posts about his and Ashwin's ICC bowler rankings across the various Indian tour threads. And I am not saying you are wrong here. Its a very valid opinion and I can see your point. I even agree with you to an extent. I just meant lets not bring it up everywhere Jadeja or Ashwin is gonna be discussed. Anyways, I think I have made my point and I dont wanna keep an argument going for no reason. If you feel you do not do that in other threads, fair enough. It was still irrelevant to go into such detail on that in this thread. That is my opinion.

I can't help it if people like my posts all the time. I'm almost always right about everything so it's not their fault for agreeing either. On the tiny off chance that i'm wrong (e.g united airlines), these same people disagree with me and try to change my opinion.

Assuming that we're all sheep is very disrespectful zinzan. As a NZer i can understand why you fantasize about sheep all the time but this is very poor behaviour.

Getting back on topic, what were you wrong about re. United Airlines?

Can't you read, moron? I only said me and Zinzan have a beef.

Only mentioned you and/or Daemon in regards to the like circlejerk thing.

Said that the Chinese guy deserved to be beaten up.

I hope this derails the thread again.
Wasn't he vietnamese? Anyway I've been following that story with great interest

newest development apparently all the **** that got reported about him having a criminal drug-abusing/deviantly gay-***ual relationship past was all bull**** and the media reporting on it got him mixed up with another doctor with a similar name

fascinating stuff

As for the like function, it's there for a purpose FFS. It avoids the unnecessary "This" or "AWTA" type posts. Or just something to click instinctively if something about the post makes you chuckle, or whatever. No idea why people read so much into it.

Allen Hill, who bowled for Yorkshire in the 1870s, never made a first-class 50 and had a batting average of 8.94.
In the only Tests he played in (the first two of all) he scored 35*, 0, 49 and 17 for a Test batting average of 50.50.
well yeah that is cool, but i find fairfax's situation a little more fascinating because it was less flukey and happened over 10 tests
look at these people trying to derail the zinzan discussion thread

A top score of 65 and an average of 51 is certainly consistent (even with 4 not-outs). According to Jack Fingleton he moved to the Lancashire League because he was fed up of being barracked by the crowds in Australia.

Back on topic, Jadeja has also been good in LOIs especially CT 2013 and not just statistically. Anytime India needed some saving Jadeja was there from the De Villiers run out in the first match to slogging to a decent total in the final.

Must be one of the few (only) cases where a player has averaged over 50 while never having scored a half century.
