Why is it always the posters that contribute nothing but negativity always the ones that complain about cliques/toxic atmosphere etc?

Ironic

Trying to find excuses for why they aren't liked.

 

[Borges]

I like everyone who agrees with me on most things. These are all people who are very hard, if not impossible, to dislike.

 

[cnerd123]

Not true. I agreed with Miyagi a lot but intensely disliked him

 

[trundler]

Not true. I agreed with Miyagi a lot but intensely disliked him

I intensely dislike your face

 

[cnerd123]

But do you agree with it?

 

[CricAddict]

Guys, LMS will close in another one hour. Record your replies soon.

Shame about Cook, didn't think he had it in him to finally end it.

Maybe he'll only actually stay gone for a week and come back to annoy everyone again

He might even continue on to 15k in the bank before going through this charade again.

Looks like Rashid will be retained. Would've gone with Pope meself.

What's wrong with Virat man. He never win's toss. I observed that every time he calls for heads and loses it. Is it some sort of superstition. He just don't want to call tails.

Greetings all,
First- time poster but have lurked and enjoyed the banter here for a few years now. Sitting in a cozy pub waiting for the test to start. Protea fan here. Hope India does well, as much as I hate him also hope Kohli does well
, he has earned my grudging respect. Also, don’t tell my wife I’m here, on my second craft lager and it’s only 11:38am. I told her I was going to gym.

Gavaskar has been of late very blunt on his replies on Indian team selection. Had to agree with one of his points that Nair deserves an answer for not being picked despite being with the team since beginning.

 

[Burner]

He should alternate between heads and tails every other toss that way he has a 50/50 shot of getting it right

Good that England are batting today. I can watch India bat over the weekend. Not looking forward to this game much though, meh.

I think Root and England will finally bat the better part of two days and post a big score.

 

[Cow Corner]

Watching some online show (Sports Tak) where they're criticizing Kohli's stubbornness in calling Heads every time. FFS, need to learn some primary school maths.

 

[Stapel]

I actually do have a far better rate than 50/50.
Every time, before the toss, I ask the opponent captain whta he likes to do. If we settle it without a proper toss, I tell my team mates I've won the toss .

Another way to get to 50/50, is callign heads only when it is a Friday .

 

[Starfighter]

I'm looking forward to enjoying Umesh's bowling in the coming match. What a gem of a bowler he is.

Yup, there's gonna be soooooo much of it to see.

 

[Stapel]

On a serious note:
It's a shame it's 3-1! Yet, I still look more forward to this Test, than I might (or should).to a done series.

I've been to the first two day of the series. And ever since, it has been great to follow.

One thing I wonder: What do we make of Kohli's captaincy? He, obviously, is a top top top batsman, but I think his captaincy sucks. The way he sets the field, the way he fails to stimulatehis fielder, the way he picks his team..... Nothing of thta is impressive, not to call it poor.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Funny how Root was batting 3 for Yorkshire meaning Williamson had to bat 4, only for Root to then bat 4 for England a week later.
