Big Boss Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Let that our, we stupidity remain in Football thread. In case of IPL at least it is your current city or your home town so its fine. In Football topic it sounds lolworthy and extremely lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Well that is just your thinking. There is always a reason for supporting a team. Players are mostly that reason. Kolkata is by no means related to me and yet I support it. As for SA, I don't think I have to mention de Villiers. The best batsman in all three format of the game. He is enough reason to support a team. Then there is Duminy, probably the most under-rated batsman of current times. Then there is du Plesis and Amla. Two of the most consistent batsmen in the world. On the bowling side, there is Steyn, a killer who is well supported by Morkel. The whole team play as team, as a unit. Its such an amazing team to watch. They are currently the best side in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 My respect of SA have gone down after the ball tampering issues. If that's how you go on top then I am glad India isn't on top [emoji14] Also no matter how many good players they have they could never win a world cup. Chokers tag is well deserved. Personally I am a big fan of Steyn and AB. Sent from my Nexus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I see jealousy so much Keep trying. About ball tampering, ok Philander did it in the first innings but what about the second innings where they bowled even better? It was done by one player. Its not that someone told him to do it or the whole team was involved. Thats like saying India fixes all its matches because Srisanth was caught fixing. And India is the only country who don't like to play with DRS? And you are talking about playing fair? The idiotic thing is, they themselves are victims of this and yet they keep on insisting of not playing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idiotic thing is, they themselves are victims of this and yet they keep on insisting of not playing with it. Really. Jealous of what? The 3 world cup trophies we have and SA none? So ball tampering in your book is OK? [emoji122] First of all Sreesanth didn't fixed matches for India. IPL is not international cricket. Secondly, do you wanna say the captain and other bowlers who were also handling the ball didn't knew about the ball tampering? Are you so naive? Have you taken time out and read why India opposed DRS? Do you even know India isn't against DRS but the contention is the technology used isn't 100% so the decision can't be absolutely correct all the time. Have you read recent comments of so many experts and umpires who have supported India's stance of not accepting DRS in its present form.

dante77 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 What the? Bhai kal se hi match dekhna start kiya hai. I have no knowledge of cricket! And when did I say ball tampering is ok? From the very small knowledge of cricket, I know how the DRS controversy began and why is it not followed by bcci. But I guess no point in arguing. The mentality is fixed, if Sachin is not your favourite cricketer, you are traitor to this country or as they say Deshdrohi (people don't even before saying that) and if by mistake you support any other team than India while also supporting India. You should leave the country ASAP because you know we like to hate other teams more than loving our team. So far in this very thread, I have seen bashing every single country. Aussies are proud, bullies, RSA don't play fair, England is Gora and India needs revenge, Sri Lanka is Ravan's lanka, Bangladeshi's are sentimental, Pakistan is well... pakistan. West Indies are bunch of jumping idiots. And one thing is common that they are all losers. I don't think any country is left to bash. So obviously when someone likes a team (not country), let me say this again TEAM (not the freakin country) people do get offended and bash him with the lame comments like this. You can't really have a sensible discussion if someone have this kind of mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really have a sensible discussion if someone have this kind of mentality. I think you still do not know the DRS controversy completely. Plz read about it and you will see why bcci is rigid on it. I am not supporting bcci. I like DRS and don't mind it being implemented in present form itself but then from bcci point of view they are also right. And who said Sachin is be all in India. Yes, he is most popular but Dada, dravid and VVS are equally loved and appreciated by many people including ME. You are just stating baseless facts and sounding more like a Shivsena activist. What country bashing? Aren't aussies bullies? Isn't SA traditional chokers? Don't England players crib like a child? It's opinions and they are free to give by all. Don't other countries say stuff about India? We are Indians so we will support India. You need to check this thread and posts. When India plays well they are applauded and when not they are cursed in the same way. No one is stopping you from supporting SA. What lame comments? Just cos you can't refute them doesn't make them lame. If you want a sensible discussion present some sensible facts first.

silentassassin Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think SL will win this test..They have recovered well and have scored fairly quickly.. Tahir has been useless...

dante77 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Even Duminy is bowling better than Tahir, Tahir may have good record in ODIs but he is proving to be ineffective and costly at the same time which is unacceptable. Its high time RSA look for a good test spin bowler. But then again, its SA, quality spin bowling is an area they always lacked behind. Philander is awful too and he was tampering the ball also. They should've given Parnell a go. In fact, Philander should've been banned for this match. It could prove to be blessing in disguise but no more match after and poor Parnell had to sit out.

Chewie Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 this article illustrates why we've been so poor in away tests (& chushant always) -- http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2014/content/story/762863.html?comments=all if after playing 50+ tests you need to be forced to try something different when plan A is clearly not working then something is seriously wrong. it also seems that india dont have backup plans if things dont go their way india were lucky that eng were intent on harakiri coz even the way that short ball plan was executed was ridiculous. bowling each & every delivery at same length makes it like a bowling machine. a good side would've just left the ball alone & wait for the bowler to tire. the short ball should be used as a surprise once ever 2 overs or so. bowling bouncers is usually only effective when mixed up with full length deliveries, slower balls, etc.. eng were seriously dumb there. i think it was a ego thing there that sharma is not johnson so lets get some quick runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
