Your ATG team pace bowling trio

If so it succeeded

IIRC the premise was that kyear was making annoying generalisations about CW opinion, some of which were right and some of which were wrong, and I wanted to set the record straight. The order of the options in the poll was my guess as to the order of the poll results.

@Sliferxxxx curious as to why you changed your vote between accounts? What changed your mind?

Slifer realised that having two accounts was better than having just one so he concluded that being good at two skills in cricket was better than being good at just one!

Any reason why you didn't count me in this but everyone else?

Slight miscalculation, sorry mate, all fixed now. Blame the Imran/Marshall/McGrath squad, almost all of them have two word or underscored usernames so I ended up counting an extra one and thought I’d already hit 71.

So is that why Luffy's in that one?

To be fair, it's something of a herculean task that Coronis has taken on!

No probs mate thanks for editing. Weird that the poll says 72 votes but I only count 71 users that voted. Bug in the poll perhaps?

Sometimes I really feel it's better to run head first into a wall than arguing Kyear...... I take Hadlee over McGrath as rate them as practically equivalent bowlers, the same reason I will take Sobers over Tendulkar in any team. And Imran is preferred for McGrath as I feel 3 new ball bowlers are redundant and ofcourse, he is a proper allrounder. Marshall's batting is a good addition, but won't care if he was a bunny like McGrath. Heck, I have Murali here over Warne.

You conveniently skipped the next line referencing when they subsequently faced Australia and summarily lost.

Also the other specialist based teams referenced that were all better than that SA team. Not to add again that they had two ATG bowlers.

You are bringing in walls of text and avoiding addressing the actual points being made. My statement is that RSA generated better results than AUS for a number of years and any other RSA team managed.

Things that are not being claimed: RSA kept winning forever, RSA was a GOAT candidate, RSA didn't have 2 great bowlers, that a team can't be great without ARs.

Just focus on this. Aus had better specialist bowlers, bats and Gilchrist. But RSA got better results until they ran out of quality. Why?

So then, it's not that many, which is all over said. What's your point.

I'm not forcing anyone to agree with anything, I'm simply saying it's a minority opinion, which it is.

You mean the way you ridicule me for having Barry in my team? Or how many here toes to ridicule me for valuing a slip cordon, or specialists?

It's @Bolo. , @Xix2565 and @ataraxia who are coming after me and telling me to **** off, but I'm the intolerant one? The entire premise of this thread was to prove me wrong.

The level of hypocrisy is stunning.

We're arguing various sides in arguments, and I've made clear I'm not saying anyone is inelligible. What I have said is that they're certain selecting philosophies is just don't agree with.

You're literally one of the main culprits that tries to ridicule others and their posts, with snide and sarcastic comments and derision, but apparently you're the only one allowed to disagree with anyone.

The ones ridiculing are Smalisha and their merry band, and all I'm doing is defending my positions. With facts mind you.

But yes, pretend now to be the objective arbiter.

I've not said anything remotely close to telling you to **** off. All I'm doing is asking you a simple question on RSAs performance.

If you want to talk about courtesy in posting, do me the courtesy of addressing the actual point I am making directly.

I can confirm that he didn't because I was gazing at his beautiful vote prior.
