Sir Vivian Richards - master or myth?

[Richard]

Removing one-off isolated scores is pointless.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Of course it is, I was just surmizing that that's what Furball might have been doing when he made that statement.

Viv Richards is the greatest ODI batsman the world has ever produced...He was a very good test batsman too...That's all I have to say in this thread...

 

[weldone]

Well we've all learned a lot from your wisdom on the subject.

The intension was not to teach, intension was to tell what I feel about him...But if incidentally you have learnt, I can only say that the world is going in the right direction mate...Keep it up...

 

[weldone]

Well, well. You'd said all you had to say in the thread and now statistically you've just doubled your input. Statistically this proves that your word can't be trusted.

But according to peer opinion all of your posts are craps from the same bag...

 

[weldone]

Nice try at passing the buck Richard style........and you've now trebled your promised input.

But peer opinion about you is at its peak (though negative)...It can't be trebled I'm afraid...By the way, Richard style? What is that? You are talking about the name on the top of this thread? ...in that case you have missed one 's' at the end mate... But see I understood your thoughts

 

[weldone]

Richard style is the everyone thinks you're an idiot so what you say doesn't matter style. Not about me necessarily just anyone of the hoards who accuse him of posting nonsense.

I thought that is the definition of 'Lillian Thomson style' ... I thought Richard is a far far better poster than you though I disagree with many of his points (not all though)...

 

[weldone]

No, I've never called anyone an unworthy idiot who no one cares about just because they don't agree with what I say after a ten page argument.




Excellent.

Problem is you say harsher words (or even better, without words; through smileys only) even before a ten page argument just to prove yourself one ... What's so excellent about the latter part of my post?

 

[weldone]

You've just joined the ever large and expanding club that's all.
This will all be deleted anyway.

Not really...There are many posters here with whom I disagree more than what I disagree with Richard ... What will be deleted by the way?

 

[weldone]

All the posts which follow your post which said

Or in other words, all the posts starting from your post in reply

 

[weldone]

Yes, in fact I've just deleted all mine anyway.

They remain though, in my replies which contain your precious quotes...

I know, I didn't do it so they won't be seen. Mods can still see deleted posts anyway, but it'll save them the bother of deleting them from general viewing.

Well said Anil. I feel bad not having said it myself

I said it at the Conserative Party Conference in Blackpool in 1984.

I took to the podium at the conference in 1984 and said "Viv Richards is a myth who if you take out the good bits wasn't very good". The then Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher then took to the stand and said "Britain will be prosperous by the year 2000."
It's a toss up which of those statements was more idiotic.

 

[_Ed_]

I read that as preposterous.

Fairly accurate prediction in that case.

Its a no contest. Your statement wins the 'idiocy' stakes hands down as befits a regular from Cricket Chat

You were wise to choose to be there, while the rest of the Conservative Party was being bombed in, er, Brighton
