One of my best mates is from Pakistan, i am not predudice against against Pakistanis, nor do i judge people by the colour of their skin, the country they come from, or the religion they follow.

exactly, there a more PAKISTANI PLAYERS in that list BECAUSE PAKISTAN (TEAM) does well in those situations AS A TEAM.
Look all those players belong to the same era 90's-00's

1. I havent been here for a while and so , no, I wasnt aware that there was a huge problem with this recent.
My comment was a jokey reference to this : 3 OF THOSE 5 BOWLERS IN THE LIST ARE SPINNERS WHO WONT GET ANYTHING FROM TEMPERING
The oportunity was there for a cheap laugh and I took it. Do we really have to get to a point where we are afraid of maybe putting someones nose out of joint when they are bigging up their team. Did the original poster really expect everyone to bow down and all bathe in the glory of Pakistans success at defending small totals. If he did , maybe he was being slightly naive.
lets face it, probably most of the time when someone posts some sort of interesting fact about the team they support that suggests that there is some aspect of superiority in his/hers team over other teams Like this one did), it is to , in some way, rub the noses in it of the readers of the thread who dont support that team. What reaction is expected....yep you guessed, you will get people who will question it, rightly or wrongly, it will happen.
Does this mean then starting a thread like this is baiting or whatever the word is (still not really up on all this web talk
)...No, despite the fact that the guy was trying to imply Pakistans superiorlity over others in this particular situation.If Open 365 wants to say what he said, then he should be allowed to say it. Its his opinion, and he was in fact making what he would consider a logical arguement to the initial posting.
I dont agree with this ganging up mentality that in fact you would appear to encouraging in this thread, and also the ridiculous EXD or what ever it is thing you have against Scaly and I think a few others.
lets not get all high and mighty about me making one jokey comment when in fact you probably wind more people up on this forum than anyone else (which again, is your right, and so i dont have aproblem with it)

It is very simple and Ill go though it very slowly.
South Africa win more of their games when they are defending a total of less than 200 compared to Pakistan.
All of the SA players mentioned were more likely to be involved in a victory when defending less than 200 than all of the Pakistanis listed.
Cold hard facts based on the figures you provided I afraid. Its an open and shut case.

point taken. But Pakistan has done it in more occasions than SA. Its just Pakistan gets out under 200 ways too many time

I hope you dont think I was getting at you, it was just that the figures you provided didnt back up your case and I was just pointing it out. From your figures SA were more likely to defend <200. However, I do agree with you to an extent, there is no doubt that Pakistan can be a very dangerous team and can defend anything when they get everything rightpoint taken. But Pakistan has done it in more occasions than SA. Its just Pakistan gets out under 200 ways too many time

I don't know how much you've been reading of late but there's been a very, very definate pattern (and one that's justifiably pissed-off considerably the Pakistani contingent here) of non-stop, monotonous, over-and-over snide comments along the "Pakistan are a bunch of constantly-cheating scumbags" lines. I haven't even experienced 1\10th of it, BTSOT, and I'm sick of it already (and so are the likes of Jono, adhar and pasag). As a result of that, I replied scathingly. There's nothing wrong with the odd jibe-back when someone makes a thread-starting comment of the type you allude to but when it's a repetition of stuff that's been done ad nauseum for the last God-knows-how-long, it starts to seriously piss people off, especially those who are on the receiving-end.1.

As I say - you can kinda be excused for not realising this as you have been absent until recently, but I hope you understand why it's so unutterably annoying to find three posts in quick succession that all imply the same thing, especially when such a thing is (when expressed in seriousness) a rather sizeable insult.
Err, I have against EXD that he's a cretinous ****, frankly. And I see no reason why I'm in the wrong for referring to him as EXD when he started the whole thing with his "Motson" nonsense. EXD is generally widely disliked around these parts - I'm astounded if you've missed that (or maybe you just don't talk to people off the forum). It's a pretty tolerant crowd, all-in-all, though (and yes, I've benefited from that of times), and so he's never been ostracised the way he might. But, with his ignore-list being probably about 4 times larger than the rest of the forum put together, he does his best to help himself along the way.
That's arrant nonsense and you might know it if you hadn't been absent for such a while.

Who's EXD??
And Richard, sorry for posting like that, i just don't like threads like this where someone goes "My team is great, look at these stats" + I haven't noticed all these dumb monotonous comments you mention(though that isn't a challenge that they aren't there, i just haven't seen them)
