How odd, that's the second post like that I've had directed at me in the last few days. Same thing applies really - didn't know you disagreed with me so much, can't recall ever having thought the same about you tbh.
Prince's a card carrying Liberal party member iirc, doesn't let it show much though.
Ah, I see. I won't hold it against him
Yeah, this.
Yeah, I obviously don't hold your views against you either; I just find it strange that we can have such similar thoughts on one subject so often despite being so very, very different when it comes to another.Ah, I see. I won't hold it against him
It seems anyone who doesnt share your poor opinion gets up your nose. I think we've all seen these meltdowns before.
Have been reading this thread for a while. Just thought of popping in..NZ definitely hold the advantage in this ODI series..because of the home ground advantage, their disciplined bowling, confidence of winning the T'20's and also the fact that Indian batsmen have been struggling on this tour. But its too early to make predictions though i feel, because T20 is different from ODI's. Eventhough we won the WC last time, i still don't think India are a better T20 side specially in NZ conditions. Also the fact that they didn't have any practice match didn't help either. Things are a bit different in ODI's. Batsmen got more time to find their feet. Our main strength is our batting and if it clicks i don't think NZ bowling attack could pose much problems. And NZ batting isn't that great either. Apart from few players, it looks mediocre. I still believe India's line-up is the most exciting batting line-up in the world when they click. But yes the "batting" should click which has been our problem here in NZ since last tour and i don't think India have been that bad in touring NZ except probably last tour. Eventhough we didn't win a series in 1999. We did manage to do well in tests. But we were denied the ODI series because of a blitzkrieg from cairns in the final ODI which made the series 2-2 . So all is not lost. Again no matter how Tendulkar plays, it brings kind of positive belief within the side. And i beg to disagree to your view that since he is aged he can't go after NZ bowlers. He has done that so many times against much better bowlers before and have proved people wrong. No reason why he can't again. This is gonna be a closely fought series and NZ might just come out on top.
we are carrying that home advantage and with Vettori(a great thinker of the game) leading the side, NZ have got 70% chances to win series
Howeever, starting from this tuesday thebegin
NZ will of course be winning with wonderful team effort
good post!
That really depends on what is considered the "best XI" really
Your best XI won't have Ravindra Jadeja, Robin Uthappa, Virat Kohli, Munaf Patel and any player yet to make his ODI debut. It won't change with every match either.
I found your drooling over him quite disturbing and far more gutter ridden than anything I said.
I was debating the merits of Scott Styris' non-selection. You were the one who dragged it down into the gutter.
Every team was mediocre compared to the Australians during their time of dominance.
I've said everything I've had to say on this so we'll just have to agree to disagree. Seriously though, I struggle to see how pointing out the number of 50's a player has made is drooling. Have to remember to put a bib on the next time someone asks me how many tonnes Ricky Ponting has made.
Sure, but Ponting didn't make that comment during Australia's time of dominance.
It obviously wasn't just that. It was the whole way you went about your argument, as if Styris was your husband (not saying you are gay, but you get what I mean) or something.
Well you would...nope not getting sucked into this again. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to ritually masturbate over my 10 foot mural to the cadaverous greatness of the virus.
