Thank you

I don't buy this. You've defended far worse records than this, it can't be based on analysis anymore.

Whose?

 

[Xix2565]

Whose?

Laker's? Grimmett isn't that great either, Viv being overrated, etc. There's always a bias showing, which means it's not analysis coming through.

Lol I think you forget you're on a player comparison board. Not all opinions are going to be palatable to you.

There's a difference between reasonable differences and being partisan. You're way too partisan at the moment.

Dude, Ashwin averages 50 in SA, 42 in Aus. He takes 2 wickets a game in England. He has played 25 games in SENA without a single fifer.

Laker didn't have some great record away, but it was better than these sub-par returns that you are trying to put a lipstick on a pig on.

There is no misinterpretation. Ashwin just outright sucks in SENA and thats why I'm not voting for him.

Don Quixote or Sancho Panza?

Partisan against whom? Individual players?

Yes? Like it's clear to see.

I call like it like I see it, bro.

They accuse me of the same against, Kallis, Lara, Ambrose, etc.

This isn't exactly a denial of partisanship. Just an admission of it.

Except I am not. There is no 'side' I am part of.

The side of poor analysis and false objectivity

And each of those were for a reason.

 

[subshakerz]

And each of those were for a reason.

What is the reason for Ashwin?

 

[kyear2]

What is the reason for Ashwin?

Not remotely touching that one

 

[subshakerz]

Not remotely touching that one

Because it doesn't follow what you are alleging. anyways...

The logic you use is so bizarre that it doesn't make sense that you're completely neutral. There is no meaningful distinction between your posts and someone who's openly partisan.

This just sounds weak frankly because you don't like that I attacked someone you like.

Let's not make this personal and stick to our arguments. Mine is Ashwin in SENA sucks, yours is Laker is overrated at home.

I really don't think you have a reasonable argument that holds up at all. Hence the question about personal motives because you wouldn't accept this type of posts in other comparisons.

Except I have pounded on Ashwin in SENA for over a year. If you don't want to take me at face value and accuse me of 'anti-India,' go for it.
