Time to open a 'Rik v Age_master' thread in 'off-topic'?

Someone asked today why many of the new members are not posting much.

Cut the sniping and call for an independent arbitor.

My paper beats your stone...

 

[luckyeddie]

Got me there

The trick is not to pick the wrong side of the arguement, like age_master invariably does, and ending up looking an utter fool, like age_master invariably does...

You've taught him well Rik

Still, at least he sticks to his argument, no matter how wrong he's shown to be!

 

[marc71178]

stuff about australia's mental strength and ticker are bull****.
we're all just bloody good cricketer's and it's all to do with the cricket education in Australia.
it all starts in the younger years, so good players can be produced what you see on TV and Tests is only a showcase for what goes on behind the scenes.
we're just bloody good

And so modest with it.

Mentally though they arent that much different to anyone else...

I beg to differ, look at England vs Australia in the World Cup. We had them on the rocks and should have gone right through the tail but we didn't due to mental strength. We didn't have any and Bevan+Bichel had plenty.

 

[luckyeddie]

It's been said frequently thet 'winning is a habit' - Australia have that habit in spades and it is that one thing which gives them mental strength.

If you pull one out of the fire often enough (as in the World Cup) you think you can do it all the time - and more often than not you do. Believe it and it becomes a reality.

(A window rattles in the breeze as a tumbleweed rolls along the high street of the deserted town. In the distance, a wolf howls - Rik, terrified, clutches his lapels against the freezing wind - so cold, so tired - so ALONE).

Oh, sorry about that. What were you saying?
