Bolded is gist of your post and I had it covered in my original post:That's ridiculous. Of course there is just 1 MOTM that's the whole point of the MOTM.
You have a point in that if all 22 players **** the bed, someone will **** the bed less than everyone and will shine relative to the rest. However that's again a statement made ignorant of what sport is. You see that a lot in low level sports. Club games are won by the side that just ****s up less. You literally emerge as champions in club cricket just by not bowling extras, taking catches, and not playing dumb shots.
But as you go up the levels you have more and more intense, competitive, driven, talented individuals emerge and when you get to the final of a ****ing World Cup you're not going to have 22 players **** the bed. You might have a guy like Amla go missing, but for sure you're going to have those Dhonis, Waughs, McGraths and other pressure situation specialists playing and they're the ones who will dominate and that's why they deserve to be held in higher regard for those performances compared to JAMODI bullies.
Definitely one of the most unpopular opinions tho. Mainly because you're just plain wrong :P
A good performance in a world cup final is no more valuable than performance in a so called JAMODI so long as strength of opposition and playing conditions are of similar difficulty
I will go to war defending this.
