*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

Well that's fair. But imo there's definitely an undercurrent of "let's go point and laugh at those losers" whenever that happens which is just cruel. It's a forum wide menace. People enjoy and encourage the Skyliners of other nations whilst jeering their own.

My own particular brand of PP schaudenfreude is much less to do with "let's go point at those losers", and much more focussed on its highly toxic posting culture of personal insults and nationalistic chest-thumping that is de rigueur there.

People don't hate Skyliner because he's a misery vampire, they hate him because he runs away the second we're ahead in the match. It's a really **** gimmick.

That obnoxious Mamoon fella seems to have his own fanbase

I'm not sure who that is. I know there's been a fair few Australian misery merchants that were despised by all though.

That and he's a boring one-note troll.

Yeah, most kiwi posters are naturally miserable. But they still turn up when they're wrong.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

yes very

Please mods do do that forum atmosphere ban thingy

Blimey. If people got banned for being negative and a bit of a downer, I'm not sure I'd be allowed back into the workplace.

PP poster.

 

[straw man]

I see young Blair Tickner's first three overs only gave away five runs but then his next three yielded 31. A little unlucky (two boundaries were edges)?

Probably just clutching at straws for any positives amongst the under-30s crowd.

Not me though

PP is also probably the second best place for new cricket memes too. Though r/cricket seems to be forming a culture of its own

 

[Athlai]

Not me though

Yeah RTB leaves the forum for an election cycle when he gets owned.

Mendis well & truly in the running for the fastest century by a Sri Lankan.

Currently it's held by Jayawardene- 81 balls against Bangladesh.

Nice

And the other half don't even know the correct lore.

Getting that deep into the AmPol thread is like entering the Mines of Moria.

 

[Athlai]

There are dark and ancient things in those depths. Like Ikki.
