fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Share 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: Link to comment
Dravid Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 esp. murlie.... he has bunch of his wickets against minnows... sangakkara, even though he is class... ***s minnows up too Link to comment
fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment

fineleg Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment

triam Posted June 30, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment

Guest Hiten. Posted June 30, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment

amits Posted July 1, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
