Should World Series Cricket records be added to Test records or First Class records?

Agreed on the last part, I just give a little more credence to performance against elites and underperformance against weak sides, than to underperform against elites and perform against the weaker sides

I agree with you it's why for example Donald against Aus is such a sticking point to me, whereas I rate Imran (as a bowler) higher than others here based on his WI record.

Shut up and listen. I think I know the matches aren't recognised. I'm just saying they should be and offered reasons. Matches have been retroactively designated tests and the schism has been conciliated ... It's pointless really; I'm repeating arguments you either don't understand or ignore because they rebut your own. Its a justifiable position whether you agree with it or not. I just don't see the point discussing with a quarrelsome blowhard like you.

I think your reasons aren't good and have rebutted nothing. The retroactively recognised matches were mostly from the very early days and weren't organised in deliberate opposition to official test matches being played at the time. As WSC was, they're not analogous. The schism was ended because the ACB was in financial trouble. The rest is just your feelings.

It's ironic for you to call anyone a quarrelsome blowhard when you've been one since before I joined the forum. You love making aggressive arguments. You just don't like it when someone holds a mirror up to your face.

I'm sure the spectators who turned up to watch them were charged at the turnstiles as 1st class matches at least.
They were played fiercely and no quarter given.
Lets put it this way, more 1st class than Derbyshire v Leeds/Bradford UCCE before it lost it's FC status.

It doesn't matter how long ago the instances of retrospectively recognised tests occurred. Walter Hadlee lobbied for a 1937 game to be granted test status right up until his death. The fact is that it can and has been done. You can't overcome the point so you invent a puerile justification to battle a hard fact. Then you have the astonishing rind to talk about "feelings".

That you feel free to offer advice on aggressive arguments given the number you've started is laughable. I like to call out arseholes like you. And I enjoy being aggressive with them. Frankly you deserve it and need to be told because you are incapable of reflection.
