Well, no surprises with the Poll result thus far, massively comprehensive as I anticipated with almost every cricket fan thinking Pakistan currently have a stronger test side than the Windies. After WW questioned whether many would actually disagree with him on this yesterday, I knew once this result came out he'd change to saying that it's only people's opinion. So so predictable.
Wow 14 people!!... no doubt your view has been comprehensively "proven"!! :laugh: , never mind the fact that there's much more Pak fans here than there is WI!!, and my detractors have seen our debate on the other thread, no of course that's got nothing to do with it at all!! :unsure: .

When it comes to WI a lot of people are bitter and revel in putting us down G-S, i don't know where it came from but it seems to be getting worse.
On the contrary...... from memory the WI were resoundingly voted the 2nd favourite team of most CW posters when a poll called 'you favourite other side' was done, and very few posters here seem to actually 'dislike' them which can't be said for many other sides, so don't even think about suggesting they're an 'unpopular' team. The simple fact remains that most don't rate them at the moment because they aren't very good, it's fairly simple, hence why they're ranked 8th on the ICC ratings below both Pakistan & NZ, but if you want to keep talking about conspiracies against them, knock yourself out.

So us NOT getting whitewashed and actually beating a top side like England doesn't mean anything? yeah ok!! :laugh: .
Again, nobody is talking about beating England ffs. Losing to Australia 2-0 doesn't prove you're a better team then the one that loses 3-0, well it doesn't as far as I see it anyway.

14 out of 15 (over 90% if we ignore the NZ vote) is actually fairly comprehensive despite the small sample size (especially when the only vote for the WI is you, lol) & do you really think posters would be pathetic enough to go out of their way to vote against the WI to spite you?, seriously, don't flatter yourself.

I meant the stats presented showed that we'd played less matches than Pak and NZ which is why we were 3rd on bowling the list, the more matches you have the more chances you get to bump up your stats!!.
:laugh: You're joking right? It was done on bowling averages, please tell me you know how they work.

Oh look the "WI are everyones second team" line.. that's so 1980's!! 8-) , people here give Pak a pass when they get murdered but the same can't be said when it comes to WI, even though we've had half our team missing of late but have still been more competative than Pak, people still seem to want to put us at the bottom of the barrel, i'm not blind, it's as clear as day.

It wasn't just the fact that we didn't get whitwashed though, we actully put up a real fight in the third test too, while Pak just gave up all hope after they somehow lost the first test, that's the difference, i keep bringing up the England result because that's the result that seperates the two sides right now, one beat a top side last year, the other hasn't done so in four years, it's that simple.

Again despite almost everyone disagreeing with you, you really must think this is a conspiracy. You don't think there could be a outside possibility that bias could be clouding your judgment do you?

Again, only in the eyes of one poster, almost everyone else is witnessing an utter annihilation. It's the old "everyone is the world except me is crazy' mentality isn't it

Lol, you don't by chance think those people (you call cheerleaders) disagree with you because they disagree with your views do you? :sleep: Or do you think myself, Howie & the couple of others (who disagreed with your views initially) emailed or our mates to come on & purposely argue against you in this thread just for the sake of it.

Ouch, sorry to break it to you, but if we remove the Pakistani & WI fans which is Faisal1985 (pak) & yourself (WI), its 14 votes to NIL , relatively comprehensive that. Seen enough carnage for one evening now, I'm out

And i suppose the level of the opposition doesn't count either right?!! :laugh:
Not when they average 46, which is 13 more runs per wicket more then Pakistan have during that period who have averaged 33 and New Zealand 39.

West Indies - Three tests against both Australia and South Africa
New Zealand - Two against Sri Lanka, two against Australia and three against Pakistan
Pakistan - Five against Australia and three against New Zealand

Yeah, Pakistan and New Zealand have been dining out on Bangladesh and each other right?

It's merely the same old detractors i''ve had from the start, you, Howsie, Flem etc it's the same old story, you can't handle my opinion so you seek to "score points", that fails as usual so the "gang mentality" kicks in, i've seen it all before but as always i'm still standing!! :laugh: .
