Wastemen etc

I didn't compare him with anyone lad or use words like goat. I was talking about his skillset champ and if it can take him further, something a lot of keepers today are one dimensional in.

Secondly if you want to support threads like these, go ahead

Calling Magrat "lad" is one of the gravest mistakes one can commit. Ymaxxx mate, you need to understand the forum a little bit better.

This may well be so, but do you expect a new poster to the forum to know that? Assuming they're new and not a multi, of course.

Funny thread slippy. Next thread idea - who's better Sachin Tendulkar or Joe Burns.

 

[Noumenon]

Aus takes such threads like a personal assault on their fragile manhood, doubling the comic value.

But frankly, this is an entirely reasonable thread. Here are the incontrovertible facts.

Lily played 70 tests with a bowling average of 24 and a SR of 52. Ishant 2.0 has already played 48 tests since 2014. His bowling average being 26 and SR 53.

Poor, tender Lily was too fragile to suffer the rigor of subcontinent and Caribbeans. Ishant has manfully plied his trade *everywhere*.

Even stevens.

Nice try. Come back when Ishant inspires the next Hadlee.

But Kapil inspired Ishant who is > Lillee. Ergo, Kapil > Hadlee.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ishant is currently ranked 17th in the world. Lillee was probably the best bowler of the 1970s.

Thanks. Exhibit CMXCIX on why standards of cricket today is a galaxy away from the amateur genre of 70s.

 

[andruid]

Neither would hold a candle to Sourav Ganguly, if he had hypothetically knuckled down on making his medium pace unplayable.

 

[h_hurricane]

Lillee was basically Jadeja until 2017.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

No PEDs huh

 

[Noumenon]

Just noticed the genius of thread title where only the worthy name is capitalized. Subliminal.

Never thought I would miss the days when these sort of threads ended up in a discussion of the merits of different varieties of rice


How naïve of me

Ishant's success is because he's been doing the exact same technique for 100 tests.

When are we going to stop pretending Ymaxx isn't our thirsty friend from Dubai?

When are we going to stop pretending Ymaxx isn't our thirsty friend from Dubai?

As thirsty as Warne after the 2015 cup, or merely as thirsty as a man lost in the desert for three days without water?

I talked about how Ishant is a vegetarian again and linked to an interview where all he does is talk about food

I tried on my end.

 

[duffer]

Lillee ducked playing in Asia and possibly threw a match to win a bet and was never held accountable for either.

Ishant has never brushed his teeth though
