Mahendra Singh Dhoni is spectacular!

[Armadillo]

Roughly a century every 4 days. What a star...

Maybe it was five in 1 and a half months.

Quote:"Cricket is not a charity or a circus but a contest. Moreover spectators are not fools, save those blinded by the blight of nationalism. Without delay, the clause protecting Akhtar and company must be withdrawn. He must be governed by the same rules as everyone else, ....

Beamers are scorned because they are unacceptably dangerous. The same applies to throws sent down by a frustrated and unusually blessed fast bowler.

- Roebuck on Shoaib's action"


Why th hell is ICC silent on Akhtar's issue???? Is he above the law?

How long are we going to suffer from Pakistan's act of playing chuckers in their team??

Welcome back Vandemataram/Nehrafan whoever you are!

Gotta credit the guy if that's indeed him. He's very industrious. If as I suppose his IP address was blocked rather than just the user IDs then he's really into this troll business.

What, buying 17 computers for his 17 usernames? What a guy, great dedication!

Also check out the ridiculous thread he started about having two cricket zones. He places Pakistan in Zone B with the lesser teams. I gotta hand it to the trolls though: they have dedication to their art (of being a troll). No matter how hard you try to get rid of them, they keep coming back!

Kamran Akmal only has 4 Test hundreds and 3 ODI hundreds. Two of those Test hundreds came in 2005 and he's not even crossed 50 in ODIs this year (if memory serves).

IP addresses are far more to do with your Internet connection than your PC type.That's why they can be manipulated and scrambled so easily.

I'd definitely want Dhoni in my side for one-dayers, as he can have a more dramatic impact on matches and his temperament in the face of pressure is remarkable.

On the same token, right now I'd take Akmal for my test side, based on the knocks he's played against India and the gritty temperament and good technique he's displayed.

I 100% agree with that comment although I think Dhoni needs to be given time in tests and I think in time he will have a huge impact there too. The best part of Dhoni's batting has been even though he can bludgeon the ball unlike Afridi who blasts irrespective of the situation, Dhoni has shown a temperament to bat according to the situation and with that capability he can be a replica of Gilly. Although he needs to show the same ability outside the sub continent.

When you sign up to a forum, of whatever kind, you should take a few minutes to decide on your username. You have to decide whether you want your opinions to be taken seriously or not, and your username should reflect this.

This is why I struggle to take any opinion of Dhoni seriously from someone named "DhoniOnslaught". The inherent bias is obvious and removes all sense of legitimacy from his postings, in my opinion.

Likewise, I wouldn't take the thoughts on English legspinners from a poster named "ChrisSchofield" too seriously...

Does it mean that any comments on Eletricity from someone with a nick 'Voltman' shouldn't be taken seriously ?

Play the ball, not the bowler.

Indeed, just like I wouldn't take anyone called wahindiawah or gladiators in blue seriously on a pakistani v india thread.

So, I suppose any musings on Voltaire are to be ignored, if they come from you.

I don't understand what you just said.

 

[What-A-Player]

Great, so we should use names like Tom, **** and Harry to be serious

Not at all. I was Voltman, hence why I'm able to comment on anything that Voltman ever did. Although I may be biased about how great that hungover sprint around Molyneux Park in 2001/2 was...

Nothing to do with Voltaire.

But it's entirely relevant to the discussion.

Yes, it is,... well... sort off.
Regardless, I think you misunderstood me. I meant you should respond to the post, not the poster. I can see why you wouldn't take somebody named DhoniOnslaught's views on Dhoni seriously but then the whole principle of debate is not to respond to the personality of the debator (in this case the username) but to the points presented.

 

[Smudge]

If he had started a thread on any other player, then I would happily debate the issues. But a thread started about Dhoni by someone called DhoniOnslaught is just asking for ridicule.
