brawn for 20/20's.

They keep reinforcing my point.

The point being that the WI batsmen focus on developing skills for the format that has the biggest crowds, generates the biggest revenue, and produces the biggest paydays. Anyone in any other profession would focus on that format as well.
cool
Also, the WI bowlers perform better in this format too, i.e. Narine and Badree. So, it's not about brawn, which you racists like to focus on to excuse the poor performances of your Indian team.

It must be so upsetting to see your theories of racial superiority being destroyed by a Lewis masterclass!
lol

Tell me something jackass, how is it that your decline began 10+ years before 20/20 cricket came about?

I'm surprised this game wasn't even close to being a sell out given the fact that Gayle, Samuels and Tayrol were in the team. And also given the fact that this is the only form of cricket in which Waste Indies are competitive.

I guess most Jamaicans couldn't afford to attend.

All good points.. That's exactly why I was saying ,Lloyd team and their alleged domination was worthless because there was no money in the game and no team took it seriously ..

 
Devin 2017-07-09 20:33:39 

Kohli has four in one edition of the IPL. There's a 14 minute video about it on youtube. Nuhbody mekin videos for Evin Lewis, because nuhbody will ever remember him.

Pity Kohli doesn't get to face that soft Indian bowling.

BTW Kohli ain't retire yet, as far as I know. Not only will Kohli score more T20 tons, but Evin Lewis will never score another.

Brian Lara - 53 100's from 521 innings at an average of 46.28.

Virat Kohli - 44 100's from 322 innings at an average of 52.78.

Virat will soon be saying "bye bye Brian."

 
NineMiles 2017-07-10 09:15:01 

In reply to Devin

Asked you a simple question about how many T20I tons ViRat has and you bring in Lara.

For your info, Lara did not play any T20Is.

Is Lara your only answer for ViRat's inadequacies? razz

 
Larr Pullo 2017-07-10 09:27:28 

Dewin is just a hater! lol lol

Weerat Kholi will never carry Viv or Lara's jock and he's bitter about it.

 
robbo 2017-07-10 12:05:03 

In reply to Devin

He shoud be doing better than that with all the flat tracks, spring loaded bats, 50 yard boundaries and pie chucking bowlers around in recent years ! big grin

 
Devin 2017-07-10 12:11:55 

In reply to NineMiles

T20's not doing much for Kohli. He has no centuries. He will surpass Lara's 100's tally from Test and ODI'S from 100+ fewer innings.

 
Devin 2017-07-10 12:12:50 

In reply to Larr Pullo

Kohli is significantly greater than Viv and Lara, but he hasn't reached Downlin and Devon Smith's level yet.

 
robbo 2017-07-10 12:38:28 

In reply to Devin

Lol... you are entitled to your opinion of course... I couldn't care less whether he is 'greater' or not... I just find it hilarious to see the lengths you will go to prove your theory...which btw is totally unprovable.

 
NineMiles 2017-07-10 12:44:35 

In reply to Devin

How many triples ViRat mek ?? Never mind Test cricket, just give me the First Class numbers. razz

 
Devin 2017-07-10 12:50:39 

In reply to NineMiles

Triples? How is that even relevant? Why does a triple century matter? How many Triples does Viv have? How many triples do Ponting and Tendulkar have?

Last year y'all were asking about double centuries, right on cue Virat scored four of them in six months. Give me a fu#king break.

 
NineMiles 2017-07-10 12:53:26 

In reply to Devin

Triples? How is that even relevant?


It is as relevant as you bringing Lara and Viv into a T20I discussion, you dumbskunt! razz

 
ponderiver 2017-07-10 12:59:23 

Hey poison dwarf leh me help yuh to hansa di question .

virat doan have a triple century no bigge, he doan have a t20I hundred and he doan have a 400 or a 501 no bigge .

Di Great Evin Lewis have two t20I hundreds no biggie suh it go

 
Devin 2017-07-10 13:16:32 

In reply to NineMiles

I'm not bringing them into the discussion. I'm telling you Virat is a better batsman than both, period. I don't care about 20/20 shite.

Listen, go back in yuh tree and smoke yuh weed. You'd rather watch Marlon bat than Virat, yuh dumb fu#k.

In reply to ponderiver
Devin-styled cherry picked stats indicate that Lewis is a far greater batsman than Kholi

In reply to ponderiver

You mean to say with all the coaching virat has at his disposal
All the statisticians and statistics
All the technology to analyse bowlers' strengths & weaknesses
And a Billion people ready to bun dong him 'ouse

'Even' Lewis can access a higher level of T20 performance? lol

 
ponderiver 2017-07-10 16:47:15 

In reply to Halliwell

on top of that Lewis was facing bowlers who were terrifyingly fast .... faster than Mikey , Roberts and Croft were in their heyday.


India's attack contained The Mighty Shami and the fearsome Bhuvneshwar Kumar !!!

Now when measured against that scale of opposition , it shows the magnitude of his achievement.


Verat only had to cope with the trundlers Braithwaite , Williams and Tayrol on a flat track but couldn't get it done big grin big grin big grin
