Erroneous revisionism that needs to be corrected

Nah, the bitterness and soul crushing emptiness shows through your posting when you waste away an entire summer.

In a few years time anyone looking at the opening post might think it was another excuse to pee all over Jimmy Anderson. Whether that will be revisionism I’m not sure.

If anything I think Jimmy might be underrated a bit in the future, given his stats (by that I mean his average). Future generations might not appreciate just how skilful he was when conditions suited.

Well history tells us we reach the right conclusion in 3 strokes. The idea that Anderson is trash and the reactionary antithesis that he's a somehow a good bowler away from home are both equally wrong. The opening post is simply one which highlights the factually correct middle ground. As nerds do, we sometimes overrate some players because we think they're underrated and have some weird hipster opinions to make ourselves feel better. This of course reached its peak in the man who thought Prosper Utseya was a great one day Bowie and that Colin Blythe was the greatest of all time.

Wrong again, Mozart was a great player of spin and played some important knocks during the War of the Austrian Succession.
Good effort but Mozart was born about 10 years after this war ended

Anyway back to talking trash about Trundler

This is such a bullshit statement to make, he has a good genuine case for both #1 ODI and #2 Test batsman.
It's so hard for people to accept this. Look at how many people submit Top 20 ODI batsmen lists without Sachin in the Top 5 and then argue to death that it's a serious opinion.

Downplaying and undermining Sachin's accomplishments is absolutely 100% new school revisionism, at least on CW. Fits this thread perfectly.

Those people are known as Australians and they're wrong. It's hippie bullshit.

You've only been here just over 12 months, and you've made over 10,000 posts. You're averaging 23 a day.

Aren't you a young dude? Get out and chase some girls, man.

It only occurs as a reaction to the rabid and moronic Indian fans that infiltrate every social media poll and write absurd best-of listsicles online.

Yeah but you don't see that on CW. Go do that on the comments on sportskeeda or troll cricket. Reactionary nonsense is still nonsense. Why are Indian fans here expected to atone for the direness of rabid ones elsewhere?
