World Cricket II

Obfuscationukku innoru example - AF said England team will be crap without the saffer imports and PR Menaria quotes Thorpe, Gough etc as counter examples. These were decent players - of the order of Jav Srinath - but the team was still crap with them. It is a cleverly subterfugal counter example. Graham Thorpe - pErulaya thORpu. Whenever I hear "Ninnai charan adaindhEn", I think it is apt for current England team - "thunbam ini illai sOrvillai, sOrvillai Thorpe illai".

1st loose-la viduvom.

For every Thorpe and Stewart I can name a Ramprakash and Jack russell. Point-ae purinjukka maatinguringa illa othukka maatinguringa. For most of the time England have been below par. They were never considered a threat to anybody. Punching above their weight category. They were never in the likes of say the top two(Aus and WI)80's and 90's, Pak and Ind(India had a solid home test record and a WC To boot with) and SA and SL from the 90's.?. What trophies you got in the last (40 yrs of ODI + Test cricket)??

Talent pool wise, Inga fundamental difference. I don't think I have to argue anymore. We have to agree to disagree. I stand by what i say. You guys steal others talent and have an unfair advantage over other teams. Idhuvae trade issue va irundha I could have filed a complaint in WTO. Aana Ninga nadathunga. ICC-ae ninga dhan.

I don't see a convincing case of that.

Rejeetted. I invoked America, neenga suvaththula muttikkitteenga.

You seem to live in a well. Do you ever travel to outside forums, read cricinfo/youtube comments section and other popular places. I have seen even English supporters commenting that the side they field over the last 2-3 years doesn't look English to em. Why do you think Border calls your team British empire team?. Puriyama pesuringa.

If someone born in Dorset plays for Australia, nothing is odd. This kind of thing happens all the time outside cricket.
Whereas if he plays for India, it would be odd.

Yov Plum/Wizzy forget it man. He is just taking us for a ride. He has successfully clubbed sports recruiting with Immigration. Let's all accept that the Indigenous Eng team is the best team since Invincibles 1948, WI (70-90) and Aus (99-2007). Evvalavu than reason oda eduthu sonnalum adhu loppidi illai-ngrar. Waste of time.

What irks me is the complete refusal to come out of the well, as AF put it. Populatuion compositionlAm enna reasoning? it is like a S Anand in article in Outlook demanding that there should be proportional representation of non-brahmins in Indian test team - orE DINGsA irukkAngaLAm teamla( at that time, Tendul,Sanju Manju, Srinath, Latchu etc ipdi mukA team DINGsA irundha kaalam).

Cricket teamngaradhu need not be representative of the underlying numbers in the society - Canadakku Balaji Rao pOi veLAyAdalaiyA? He admitted that he doesnt have any skill other than Cricket to go to Canada. But Canadala Indian irukkaRAdhu adhisayam illai so that would be acceptable to ivar.

Englandnu vandha udanE reason invent paNNA mAdhiri ivaru EdhO samALikkaRAr.

Sari, atleast stop with "it is my opinion". You talk as if tomorrow if India recruits foreginers, if England sattam pOttu adhai thaduthA, avanga nyAya dharmaththai kAppAthinadhA arththam. What nonsense is that? That is just holding up your ordero f things.

ulagathulEyE ivanung dhAn cricket Ada peRandhAnungaLA? ivanga tradition dhAn traditonA? ivangaLukku pazhakkam Anadhu dhAn Cricketukku nalladhA? ennayyA udhAr udaRInga?

Again, I repeat, I wish I was in the BCCI or Seenu mama had the kind of anger that I have - Englandaiyum Australiayvayum Oda Oda veratii adikkalAM. India is wasting the history-given dominance of ICC. They'll regret it when England return to power - appO irukku Veto power, scheming to kill cricket in India and subcontinent etc. appO kizhiyum ivanga mugaththirai.

Bangladesh beat Pakistan in World Cup and qualified for test status. Ireland have done much more than that. indha kELviyE defence mechanism (Ireland are ready or not). Veto power vechu enna paNNinAnga - pOi padinga, I dont have the time. So many, so many Indian and Paki and Lankan admins and players have talked about it. 2 bouncer per over rule vandhadhE because they couldnt face up to Holding and co. When Lillee and co were breaking bones, they didnt think of that rule. idhellAm varalARu. oNNumE theriyAdha mAdhiri nInga nadikkaRadhukellAm nAnga badhil solla mudiyAdhu.

Plus, endh vishayathai sonnAlum "adhellAm miga sAdhArNamappA"-nu saaljappu solla vENdiyadhu..

First of all, define good and bad in general - because you are post-facto defining good as anything England does. modhalla define your goood and bad - I am sure a thousan dexamples from history and current affairs we can point out England doing that. indha gymnastics of waiting for England to do something, and then defining it as good for the game is dakalti.
