It’s fine, don’t worry. You’re not allowed to have an opinion on this forum, sticking up for me won’t change that!

Have the balls to defend your posts and criticize posts criticizing you rather than getting your undies in a twist about how bad the forum is. Same goes for Singh767.

 

[Borges]

Always point out how bad this forum is; keep repeating it at every opportunity that presents itself.
That way, you do good: if they are shielded from much needed, albeit unpleasant, truths about themselves all the time, how are they going to become better?
Plus, it's great fun. ATG fun.

I feel Bumrah's wayward bowling in the 2nd innings was very costly. Don't understand why people are blaming Ashwin, he is by far our best spinner and looked consistently threatening. He had some chances dropped by Pant (who was even more poor than Bumrah through the match); on another day Ashwin would have had a 6-fer.

I hope this brings an end to Kohli's captaincy. He has been guilty of consistent favouritism, whether it be simply for friendships (Dhawan, Rahul, Pant) or something more malicious (in my opinion, cricketers from South India have been consistently given short leeway by Kohli). Pujara and Ashwin are more than good enough for captaincy. Pujara, Rahane, Ashwin, Karthik (as much as I like Saha, DK has so much potential, beauty and grace in his batting, he could our AB de Villiers), Umesh, Bhuvneshwar, Shami and Ishant should be given 100% backing in Australia.

I honestly have not seen any poster with worse opinions

I cannot believe there to be a real human being walking the earth who genuinely believes this

After being on this forum for a few months I give John and Mr Miyagi the award. Them 2 actually believed what they are saying. Steve Waugh is just on a wind up I think lol

Karthik has so much potential and ability, he just hasn't been backed by Kohli. You'll see how good he is in Australia. He has a classic, beautiful technique, unlike a hacker/slogger Rishabh Pant.

Vaas over McGrath is yet to be topped I fear.

It's true, this forum is just a toxic place filled with toxic people. Say anything you just get criticised or abused. But hey, I'm wrong so who cares?

Stevie Wonder could clean bow him from between bat and pad.

Saha will be back for Australia; the pretenders would be caught by their ears and flung aside, to make way for him.

Saha or DK (I prefer DK), it's fine. As long as it's not that IPL slogger Rishabh Pant.

Criticism is expected and you can always report abuse.

 

[harsh.ag]

Even if one does believe that about DK's batting, Saha's far superior keeping should give them pause before recommending the replacement.

I don't think so. Both have very similar experience of wicketkeeping, both have been keeping for a long time in first class cricket. They have equal experience, they are both equally good wicketkeepers. The difference, Karthik (a potentially generational batsman) hasn't been given his fair chance by the arrogant drunkard Shastri.

 

[Burner]

What has Saha ever done to be held in such high estimations? I'd go on with Pant. They are both pretty good keepers and from what I've seen Saha might pip Pant in the keeping department but batting wise Pant has much bigger potential.

Sure he's better than Pant but there is daylight between his ceiling and ABDV's

I mean I know he won the Nidahas trophy and that's an incredible feat but let's be real here.

A lot of people just have a lot to learn. It's one thing disagreeing, that's fine. We all have different opinions. But throwing abuse around because of it is child in the playground kind of thing.

Try saying something that these aforementioned toxic guys agree with; and you would be celebrated as a great poster. In fact the basic idea for glory and ATGhood here is to get into the good books of the most toxic characters; hail their favourite players as your own favourite players etc. Otherwise, you would end up as just another ATVG.

Saha is far more reliable than Pant or DK. Less athletic and probably less potential with the bat, but doesn't drop catches and builds useful partnerships down the order. Karthik's batting and keeping is rocks or diamonds, and Pant is an athletic keeper with awful technique and a raw batting talent

Pant could be better than Saha down the line (very likely will be), but atm Saha is clearly the best option
