There have been a few people who've got that sort of thing into their heads down the years.This comment in particular, utter twaddle, so if a player Richard doesn't like scores runs its a poor bowling performance
Rubbish, I've given credit to countless players who play for substandard sides. Not rubbish players like Ashraful, though.
I wasn't the one that brought it up. You were the first to mention that he'd been - possibly - dropped.so the first chance stuff does rear its head , as predicted
All I've heard has been that which has been posted on here.
And it wouldn't have been a gem if he'd been out when he (possibly) could have been. Simple as.
Yes, and it's for that reason that people have taken great pleasure in you looking so stupid when results like Saturday's happen, and then bring it up.No, it's "some people can't let some things go..."
Well technically, according to your first chance theory that would not have been a chance because either he nicked it or he didn't and according to the umpires judgement he didn't.
Think of me as looking stupid if you want - I never said Bangladesh beating South Africa was impossible.
I have, and rightly so. Until very, very recently there was no reason whatsoever why they did.
No, there has only in the last couple of weeks appeared evidence of such a thing. I am, however, pointing-out that there has been no magic bullet. I've done such a thing many, many times in many cases. It's a pretty good idea, really - because then you look good if what everyone has prematurely been saying has now happened turns-out not to have happened.
No, I won't, because I've never once said they can never win so much as a single game.
Well what is it then?.Until Bangladesh become more consistent in beating top 8 ODI teams they still can only be considered an average ODI team.They are however improving and I enjoy the way they play their cricket with enthuisiasm and a love for the game.
And can you explain how he is a rubbish player?
Well for one they've won two games against quality sides. You can't just keep rubbishing Bangladeshi cricket by calling each of their triumphs just "one win" if they start stringing them together over a relatively short period of time. If a win is a streaky one off that only occurs rarely then two wins would be rare^2. Much more likely that Bangladesh are genuinely improving.
Because he produces an innings of any real substance about once every 2 years.And then everybody raves about him...
he's been producing helpful innings since he's been back and that's all the team needed from him since he was batting at 5-7Because he produces an innings of any real substance about once every 2 years.And then everybody raves about him...
Reality-check - you need to read that line again.
Because he's made a career out of scoring very few runs - the very definition of a rubbish batsman.
