The Myths & The Truth

[Top_Cat]

How many of those someones are named Warne or McGrath though?

Only one from Warne, dunno if McG got a 5-fer at Adelaide. The rest are Johnson, Lee, Hoggard, AA, Gillespie, Miller, etc.

Those are myths & no one has yet given proper answer to that.All what they have managed to is quoting a post of SJS,which is also full of myths of Sobers.If you can't prove some claim,its a myth & thats the case here.Even if those myths are true(which they're not),Sobers deserve no extra praise because it would be his own decision to bowl the opposite style to the conditions.If that he did it so his team can play extra spinner/pacer according to conditions,it means he knew he was not a good enough & that his team needed an extra player.

If SJS had posted something which backed up your prejudice against Sobers, you'd be jumping all over that as evidence.

If you're going to rubbish Sobers' bowling record, I'll just rubbish Imran's batting record.

And I think this thread has running of sensible discussion. Everyone interested has made their points at length and we're just flogging a dead horse hereon in.

I'm closing this thread because of this and because there have been too many instances of people arguing both views have proven incapable of separating their point from sledges, direct and sly, at people arguing the other side.
