This.When did I do this? If anything, Sachin fanbois here always downgrade Lara.

It doesn't matter apparently it is said in the OP so it's true.When did I do this? If anything, Sachin fanbois here always downgrade Lara.
Lol here we go with the nationality again.Certain posters of a certain nationality downgrading Ambrose to upgrade Imran, Wasim etc
Rubbish. No one here bothers to hate Lara.When did I do this? If anything, Sachin fanbois here always downgrade Lara.
That is not what I said.Rubbish. No one here bothers to hate Lara.
No need too, his name already does it. Lara not Wara.Rubbish. No one here bothers to hate Lara.
This thread idea was created on the third point you've mentioned- Dhoni fanboys used to give Pant a really hard time early in his career because they were threatened by him and have slowly shut up because Pant has surpassed him in tests.
- Dhoni fanboys also downgrade literally any active Indian captain and pretend MS would have done better because of *insert random reason*
- Jadeja fanboys (two in particular, you know who you are ) disparage Kuldeep and Ashwin constantly to make Jadeja look even better than he is.
It's quite difficult to wade through old posts. I would have wrote that based on an opinion formed from hb's any earlier post. If hb has never done that, fair enough.It doesn't matter apparently it is said in the OP so it's true.
Nah. Bullshit. Kallis is downgraded because he looks like Shrek. Personally, I think that's a plus.Ricky Ponting getting upped mainly for his strike rate while downgrading Kallis....
You can prop up the player you're advocating for without disparaging the other one.Just a reminder the whole point of a player comparison sub-forum is to upgrade and downgrade players. If we all agreed on their relative rankings and merits, this sub-forum wouldn't need to exist.
Using other players' merits to make your case on a certain player's rating is par for the course The only question is if it is accurate or not.
If HB says Lara is awesome because his peer Tendulkar has XYZ issue, that is fine. Of course, HB usually makes blanket statements rather than comparative arguments in this regard, so the OP on him is not correct.
Says who? The whole point is to compare. There is no protocol I violate. What you call disparaging I call legitimate criticism.You can prop up the player you're advocating for without disparaging the other one.
You've gone out of your way to pull down Lara, Kallis, Ambrose and others when it wasn't required. Just say what you like about your guy.
Nope. You can care for strike rate, just don't push it on those who doesn't care..... There are also criterias like having great series away, or performing well in difficult and varied batting conditions.SR is a legit reason, he is not being upped.
What you all want to say is that average should be the sole yardstick to judge batsmen.

Both good points.You can prop up the player you're advocating for without disparaging the other one.
