But saying without any backup is trolling...
No, it isn't. Trolling is posting specifically for a negative reaction, especially when the opinion you're expressing isn't genuine. If what taipan was doing was considered trolling you'd have been banned long ago. :p

The opinion isn't valid btw. And he is not offering any counterarguments when presented with facts voiding his argument, and instead making on claiming the same.

If someone goes on posting Steven Smith is a better player under pressure than Ponting in the match threads, with nothing to backit up wouldn't it be trolling?

Am all eyes and ears for a solid debate. it is not as if I have not conceded at all in any argument.

Outstanding stuff From Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag and Raina. Please take a bow. Winning a series or drawing a series in Srilanka is not a joke. It never happened in last 16 years of cricket. This is something special and good time to be an Indian test cricket fan.

It'd depend entirely on why they were posting it. We're not the opinion police here. If someone legitimately believed that it'd be fine.

Comprehension problems? I said he had more BMT. Never said he was better.
Haha ignoring what I posted now??

Let me recap what you said.

1. Laxman is a better BMT or TNT or whatever than Sachin.
2. Sachin is not a BMT because he averages only 36 in 4th innings.
3. 4th innings performances are the only measures of how good a BMT a batsman is.

Then I showed how equally good/bad Laxman has been in the 4th innings.

Any counterpoints?

Sonny, I presented the facts of SRT's 4 innings average. I pointed out that the Wisden article (old as it maybe) didn't rate any of his knocks. I asked for examples of match innings knocks by SRT. By my count 2 have been listed.

Perhaps OT, then why did I get banned from the WC forums? :p I was only presenting my opinion about how I felt about team England when they were outsted.
Because we felt you were doing it on purpose to get a reaction out of the English posters.

Make a separate thread for this and you can argue a lot and have loads of fun. Don't spoil this thread though.

Yet you said Laxman is a better player under pressure. And apparently Laxman's 4th innings efforts don't back that up mate.

Ok will stop here as we are diverting the thread.
