Whatever it takes!!!
you’re omitting the whole part where subs frequently indulges in misery posting on every Indian loss but conveniently disappears when they win yet somehow turns up right on time when India loses, his weird posting in those best teams of 2023 or 2024 where he refused to acknowledge India in that convo seriously while hyping bazballing England who despite playing impressive cricket hadnt achieved as much and him trying to insert himself into every discussion on certain Indian spinners on this forum at all times, including creating threads to do it

in this very thread he’s taken the convo into random tangents, misinterpreted words to create false narratives such as others bringing down other greats to make Ashwin look great when they havent done that, accused people supporting Ashwin of doing so only for nationalistic prejudice, accused people of creating false greats like Walsh and Anderson to make Ashwin look great and then turned around to make a list saying people have been dissing on these players as slander. people like you who come in after 40 pages only see the 1 user who insulted him and believe the narratives he weaves because surprise surprise, he has the most posts in this thread by far which makes it easy to control the narrative against multiple other users who have different opinions and views even if they all think Ashwin is a great

fwiw i dont think subs is inherently biased against Indian players or anything but i wont blame anyone accusing him of that when he’s given enough ammunition to do them by now over the years to do so, that doesnt excuse the **** he gets either

Like I have said many times before, I have absolutely no issues with hate posting against a particular country's cricket or cricketers. Its the frequency and volume that is the issue. Post once or twice on things you hate but let it ****ing go when its obvious the majority are not that idiotic or biased. This volume and frequency is what brings forum atmosphere rule into play.

He does have a weird obsession with Ashwin and Jadeja. All his posts about India in some way related to denigrating their accomplishments.

But addressing this on the merits, there is literally no argument for Ashwin not being an ATG unless someone wants to be contrary or racist.

Can't take jokes, I see.

Apparently it's pulling people down when I ask for a proper demonstration of standards, but this level of junk posting is all fine huh @Spark?
You're well aware of what pitches O'Reilly bowled on, it was one of the two flattest eras. There was nothing spiced up about it.

And that's what the modus operandi has been by you, and you regard junk posting anyone who disagrees with you.

You're the only one calling people idiots and other personal attacks by the way.

The fact you would float banning me for simply being stubborn and not accepting the party line like a censorship mob is a new low for you.

I also find it particularly odd given that I multiple times called to declare consensus and end this thread yet then had to respond the last 20 pages to rage posting from your clique.

Your obsession with me is unhealthy frankly and I suggest you take it easy and cool down your team.

I wasn't until Coronis came along, so no thanks to you. And yeah, this is junk from you because you can't seem to answer properly to anything I say for some bizarre reason.

This line of thinking is the source of all the problems of this thread.

You set up the thread as a debate and right off the bat delegitimise the other side.

Tbf 40% of posters on CW being racist sounds like an accurate statistic, just not for the reasons he's saying.
These people act like the voters can't be seen smh. Though I doubt that Subzi and co are racist, they just keep failing to put up an argument that holds water.

Lol no you think theres 20 votes (41%) on 'No' because they just want to oppose or racists?
When someone has 500 wickets sub 24, yes

BTW, I feel the same way on Anderson

Anyone who doesn’t consider him an ATG is being intellectually contrary to show how smart or knowledgeable they are by having a non mainstream opinion.

And btw, most people post on here to be contrary
