    If you trained for five years…

    My toxic trait is that I legit think I could've been a short track speed-skater.

    Kumar Sangakkara vs Geoffrey Boycott

    One of my favorites vs one of my least favorites. Very, very easy choice for mine.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    Nah, I'm just doomscrolling that story, because I dunno. I guess I just see that as the lowest sort of criminal, and it personally disgusts and revolts me at another level.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    There's also a pedophile child rapist playing for the Netherlands Olympic beach volleyball team. And the damn corrupt Europeans running the IOC really want to make us think it's okay, and cover it up so that we'll forget about it. Honestly the whole Olympics just seems sour and under a cloud.

    If you want my vote, all you needed to do was lead with this.

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    You want to add another judged event? I'm not for all that subjectivity. Speedshagging on the other hand, is something I can get behind (and in front of, and on top of, and underneath, etc).

    If Pat Cummins played for India concurrent with Umesh Yadav, how many tests would Yadav had played?

    Lol, it's a shitpost where I flipped the premise of the other thread, which I felt was a bit rough on Lyon, to just compare him with Jadeja just to **** on him.

    Andy Flower vs Kevin Pietersen

    Well I think they're of similar quality in different roles. So you can ridicule me on that if you want. But Sangakarra I think is just straight better. Like he's one of my favorite bats period, like Weekes or Viv Richards, in that ilk in my mind.

    Why we assuming all that? Just because it's Nintendo IP?

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    This is exactly why I went to Gen II. That's before EVs existed in the game (well they exist, but you just max them across the board in competitive play, so don't have to worry about them). But the latter playstyle is hella fun too.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    Okay, you are right. I'm probably just thinking last Ashes.

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    Played Gen 5 while it was current gen. Continued and played gen 6 for a bit as a current gen, and started to really enjoy it but then went on a hiatus. When I came back I became a Gen 2 only player, and I absolutely loved it, and felt competitive with pretty much anyone I could face. And then...

    If Pat Cummins played for India concurrent with Umesh Yadav, how many tests would Yadav had played?

    Actually, I found a better version of the question. Assume they were both always available for selection

    If Pat Cummins played for India concurrent with Ishant Sharma, how many tests would Sharma had played?

    Assume they were both always available for selection

    As a fellow competitive pokemon player on hiatus, yes there is a "going back into" competitive mons.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    No way Anderson went up much. He's kind of gone out with a whimper, not a bang. Ashwin though, has maintained a very Ashwinesque standard.

    Andy Flower vs Kevin Pietersen

    As I've said before, I'm not as dogmatic about 1 or 2 ranking spots meaning one is better than another. I have them in the same tier though. I still believe Sanga > Tendulkar though, in case you still want to ridicule one of my heterodox takes.

    Andy Flower vs Kevin Pietersen

    Flower faced much, much weaker competition on the whole. Also England batting conditions are generally harder as well, so for those reasons even though the comp looks close at face value, I think it's a very easy Root win for batting quality.
