fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 They (SL) seem to be the best minnow bashers. More often than not when SL plays minnows, they dont just win, they win BIG! And, when SL plays non-minnows, then results are quite mixed, with SL probably not winning as much. But they TRANSFORM when they play minnows :cantstop:
Dravid Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 esp. murlie.... he has bunch of his wickets against minnows... sangakkara, even though he is class... ***s minnows up too
fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 not just Muralitharan and Sanga, the whole Schmuckagedera and the Dilshans all transform themselves and totally thrash Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya etc. Minnow bashers par none. Though they are not restricted to minnow bashing and play decently well against other teams, the difference is noticeable.

Though they are not restricted to minnow bashing and play decently well against other teams, the difference is noticeable. Thats why those teams are called minnows, right ?:winky:
fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Thats why those teams are called minnows' date=' right ?:winky:[/quote'] Yes, but when India plays minnows, we win - but dont always thrash them into pulp. SL more often than not pulverizes minnows, thats the difference I see here.
Sachinism Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 yeh they are some serious minnow bashers theres no complacency
zubinpepsi Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 this shytty SL team is a forking boring team to watch and they r the best when it comes to minnow bashing... all true flat track bullies.... and outside the subcontinent they r big bunch of pansies who wet their pants seeing the fast/swing/seaming pitch... bunch of child abusers they r....

I knw its ur frustration talking here. they beat the crap outa us cuz we have all the pie throwers in our bowling attack.... and u know n we know how the baldy feasts on those pies... heck he even made 340 on those pies.... sweet pies reallly ain they.....
triam Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I think minnows are not equipped to play exceptional spinners, like murali for example, India in the recent past never had big turners. it is easier to play medium pacers than genuine spinners.
prince40 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 not just Muralitharan and Sanga' date=' the whole Schmuckagedera and the Dilshans all transform themselves and totally thrash [b']Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya etc. Minnow bashers par none. Though they are not restricted to minnow bashing and play decently well against other teams, the difference is noticeable. u forgot to add pakistan to that list...:giggle:
alzu Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 the shytty sl team beat us in 96 in a wc match in our own home and recently in 07 wc and knocked out. I knw its ur frustration talking here. i agree.....dhoni was out first ball for a golden duck.....
Sachinism Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 i agree.....dhoni was out first ball for a golden duck..... lol whats that got to do with anything
Guest Hiten. Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Well I like that attitude of SL. They don't take piss from any minnow nation. Canada, Bermuda and Zim were rolled out for <40 runs.
alzu Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 lol whats that got to do with anything nah just a reminder......anyway this indian team got power hitting batsman.........india is way ahead interms of sl batting......
punjabi_khota Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 nah just a reminder......anyway this indian team got power hitting batsman.........india is way ahead interms of sl batting...... Without Tendulkar, we don't have a classy batsman like Sanga.
Chaos Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Without Tendulkar' date=' we don't have a classy batsman like Sanga.[/quote'] rofl....
Chaos Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Without Tendulkar' date=' we don't have a classy batsman like Sanga.[/quote'] if u want classy batsman, no one can beat yuvraj. PURE CLASS
amits Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 we tend to adjust our strength to the level of the opposition irrespective of whom we r playing against. its only when we play super-minnows like bermuda or hong kong that we win big, and really big by 256 or more runs
