Social said that once Aust. Took the CT seriously they won it, wheras prev they'd not taken it seriously and not won. You asked why they didn't, in that case, with the T20 WC. I commented that they didn't take that seriously either. You said that reflected poorly on them, and I said it was understandable given the attitudes of those around them.How's that anyway contradicting the original point I made? Australia made an error, and didn't apply professionalism when it mattered.
Lol, that was one stupidly funny match.people thought T20 would be a flash in the pan, in our previous games we had the players with nicknames on their backs and take for example this game against NZ, it was all about fun.
Things have changed and now that $$ are behind the IPL the WC competition will be taken much more seriously. Nearly all the existing cricket media were from the test era, and unsurpisingly, they weren't receptive to the T20 WC thus absolutely no public pressure or concern was placed on most teams leading into the competition.
Lol, we are going in circles, and no argument is there.Social said that once Aust. Took the CT seriously they won it, wheras prev they'd not taken it seriously and not won.

I can draw a flow chart if you like.
I never mentioned official ranking points. If SA win in SA, they would be the clear #1 even if the official rankings don't say so.If it's all about ranking points on a particular day, then Oz is "clearly" No.1 and that totally contradicts your earlier post
Huh? I don't support South Africa or Australia, and India is not in contention for the #1 spot right now.Or are there different rules in place depending on who you support?
hey! I'll have you know that Social runs a company that's bigger than BHP, and used to teach Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh how to play cricket!Lol, Social just throwing accusations.
Playing a lot of cricket with players from the 80s does not equate to "teaching Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh how to play cricket!"hey! I'll have you know that Social runs a company that's bigger than BHP, and used to teach Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh how to play cricket!
Or something along those lines.
The reality is that some people have a vested interest in not acknowledging anything that conflicts with their blind support for others
Sorry mate but if Aus is crap, I say it
brb going hosp cause irony made my jaw drop need to get it fixed thx
QFT. Often says stuff I haven't got the cojones to post.social cops a lot of **** on here but he is consistently one of the more interesting posters around. i wonder if there's a link.
Probably is a link between riling people up and how much interest they take in them. Social is good value though if a bit excitable sometimes.social cops a lot of **** on here but he is consistently one of the more interesting posters around. i wonder if there's a link.
Heres the update my friend....SA fans.....plz update on Graeme Smith injury thanx.
Yeah, like the wide ball thing?QFT. Often says stuff I haven't got the cojones to post.
SS is just about the least biased poster on these boards IMO. So you accusing him of bias without any even remote reason at all was ridiculous.Sorry mate but if Aus is crap, I say it
If Aus is good, I say it
If there's reasons for good and bad performances, I'll give you my interpretation
BUT
I dont say, "We're the best and any person from another country who says otherwise (despite any evidence to the contrary) is wrong"
Who was I specifically accusing?SS is just about the least biased poster on these boards IMO. So you accusing him of bias without any even remote reason at all was ridiculous.
DWTA.SS is just about the least biased poster on these boards IMO. So you accusing him of bias without any even remote reason at all was ridiculous.
