[Flem274*]

I have no recollection of my past life.

not surprising after this one

May I know which team you support before brutally exposing them as HTB, FTB or fair weather bullies

If your reaction to someone criticising a player who you like or is from the team you support in a relevant thread when he's brought up is to immediately try to figure out which team they support so you can "get one back", you are on the wrong website.

 

[Starfighter]

i thought you were an indian fan?

let us all take a moment to remember 2002, the year ganguly spent more time crying about the pitches than in the middle and never forget this episode of border patrol

<video>

OMG, why wasn't I informed about this years ago?

 

[SeamUp]

Sourav was a whinger. It has carried into his comm work with other irritating attributes too.

 

[Burgey]

greg ritter the memory of your crappy FPR car spearing off at Barbagallo 05 is forever etched into my memory

Quality

Flem putting in a big off season here. Will reap the rewards come summer.

Yes because no one takes a dig at their favorite players, or team, when they don't perform? I'll be among the first to take India or one of my favorite players to task when they underperform. Now this seems to be a meme on CW & some other sites that Jadeja is a HTB or works only on dodgy pitches! Did you see his performances on the flattest of roads in Kotla (vs SA) or Chennai (vs England) then Ranchi (vs Aus) & again the SL tour? If you're bashing someone because you think he's so & so then what's wrong in bashing someone else who I think haven't done much?

Yes clearly, hypocrisy is no virtue.

 

[Burgey]

I hope jadeja plays the tests out here. It would be good to watch.

Because this isn't Facebook comments. CW doesn't exist as a battleground for the great supporters' wars where you have to defend the honour of your team by insulting the team of the anyone who criticises it. If you act it out in that fashion you'll end up permanently banned rather quickly, just like pretty much anyone else who has tried to be a regular poster with this attitude.

Flem is not just a foot solider for the team supports -- he has actual opinions and if you think of the team he supports somehow invalidates them, then as I said you are on the wrong website. Go take your petty nationalistic point-scoring elsewhere. If you disagree with him about Jadeja then you're free to argue with him, but "lol ur team sux" is not an argument. If he'd made the argument that NZ were better or something of that nature it'd be a different story, but that's not what he did, and trust me he is under no illusions as the quality or lack thereof of the team he follows.

 

[Burner]

Cook to retire at the end of the series apparently. Never thought Cook would retire before he was at least 35. England have big shoes to fill.

And you can take a dig at others when the other person has no idea WTF this Greg guy is?

And that's why I excluded NZ before this, isn't about India vs NZ or me vs him. You can bring stats to justify any argument, to bring only a sets of stats, while omitting others is a lie by omission IMO. If there is an argument about Jadeja being a HTB, that can be made after he's played more tests on the away leg of India's tours - which ends in 2019 IIRC.

Ciao, don't care about one sided opinions, had a nice time in the Sim Jimmy101

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Legend, but the right time imo. Gives England good time before the Ashes. Feel bad for hammering him but he's been poor for a long time. Still, a great and a gent!

 

[cnerd123]

Flem should be banned for trolling imo

Sad news about Cook's retirement. Will be interesting to see how England proceed. Their next series could see 2 entirely new openers.

 

[Starfighter]

33 seems so young but except for the odd occasion, which always seemed to turn into a double, he's just looked so painfully out of it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Probably true, but not for the post in question.

 

[Groundking]

I really hope he scores one final double at the Oval.

 

[morgieb]

In miles on the clock though he's more like 37. Plus apart from the double his last 12 months have been pretty much terrible.

 

[Flem274*]

im just happy some people understood my references to obscure 2000s racing drivers

 

[vcs]

He should get a guard of honor when he comes out to bat and it will be a nice emotional moment in a dead rubber.

get on with it then, im somehow infraction point free and have been for months of posting off the cuff molotov ****tails

Post on PEWS wall asking him to man up and ban you, or to eat a bag of dicks. That seems to be the way to go
