The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[trundler]

Nopes. I have conceded every personal accudation I've been accussed of mot relevant to greatest sportsman, cos I am clearly not offering myself for that honour. BoJackson is mine, Usain Boult in the top 5.

Many people at length have explained the unparalleled greatness of Bradman. What you in turn have done is merely repear your opinion and only respond to 1 or two sentences whilst glossing over everything else.

I feel like Jahangir Khan in squash has a reasonable case compared to Bradman for dominance of a sport. 555 consecutive wins is utterly ridiculous. By way of comparison, the longest winning streak in professional tennis is 74 or 182 in amateur, and I don't know of anyone in any major sport who comes anywhere near.

Squash isn't the biggest professional sport, but cricket wasn't in Bradmans time either.

 

[Pratters]

I clearly have no experience with cricket

To be honest, the way you have described batting and cricket over past many pages puts your posting over last two three months in perspective. It's been bad posting as you have been arguing without knowing much about the game.

Americans vote American greatest ever. And that blog article makes a really weak case. And we're talking about sportsmen, not athletes, so only tangentially relevant anyway.

Also none of those articles have anything to do with what he got wrong in post #7900 on page 198 (@40ppp)

He's not once, at any point, addressed the mistake he made and conceded that he was wrong, in all the 100s of posts he's made this thread. He's either still not aware of it, or deliberately bringing up Bo Jackson each time I ask him about it to troll me.

Either way it's still pretty funny

Well Phil the Power Taylor then. And Doyle Brunson, still pro recently. Epic career.

 

[Pratters]

You put you left foot in, you pull your right out.

No that's not it. You fail the test.

 

[trundler]

Most athletic is only slightly related anyway. Being good at 2 sports isn't greater than being the absolute god of one and being competitive at others.

You still have no response to the fact that no one has dominated any sport Bradmanesquely.

Steve Gurney is a sports legend

See, this is a solid argument.

Nah - I live in a rugby country. Greatest sportsman whoever lived by my demographic is Richie McCaw. And yet here I am talking about Bo Jackson.

So unparralleled greatness? Good luck

But really - why all the hate on Phil Taylor? Great sportsman

There's the passive aggressiveness.
That has more to do with your need to be a contrarian though.
And I'm from Pakistan where people still masturbate to Akram and yet I say Marshall and McGrath are the greatest. That is, of course, irrelevant.

Which do you think is the better sport, rugby or cricket? How much rugby have you played and how much red ball cricket have you played?

 

[Pratters]

Are you a bowler or a batsman? Fast bowler or off spinner? What's your club average ? What's your most memorable wicket ?

I prefer cricket. I fell out of love with domestic rugby to NSWRL rugby league a long time ago. Now I don't even love NSWRL rugby league. I of course support the All Blacks, but cricket is my deeper passion.

I will always love cricket. Watching, playing, discussing, cricket is a wonderful game.

Who are your favourite cricket writers? Which are your favourite 19th century cricketers? Who do you like more Trumper or Grace?

Good way to not answer the second question.

What do you feel about the old lbw law v the modern one?

What's your full name, bank account number and password/pin?

How is that relevant to whether you are a cricket tragic or a cricket fan or not?
