Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly - 1998

[The Outsider]

Dravid did not reach #1 rankings EVEN ONCE in the 10 years since that stupid outlook cover. You have a problem accepting facts.

No, you have a problem reading simple graphs and English it seems. Here you go: http://www.relianceiccrankings.com/playerdisplay/test/batting/?id=2142&graph=ranking In fact he reached number 1, just a year after that article in 1999. :hysterical:

[Crookbond]

He's just running around trying to save some online face now. Next he will say rankings count only at the end of the year to cover up his made up story about Dravid not ever being number 1. Watch this space. :hysterical:

For some reason I think that those rankings were posted out of someone's *****. Dravid won the ICC innaugral Test batsmen of the year award IIRC. Dravid was also Wisden cricketer of the year 2000.

OH WOW.. YEA.. YOU GUYS FALSIFIED EVERYTHING.. (you in the business of falsifying papers or something?).. :haha: How can you "falsify" RECORDS AND RANKINGS AS THEY ARE??.. they are what they are??

Please post those rankings here with credible links and we will be happy to change our stance. As of now, the only thing I see is a game of cherry picking from you.

OKay, you are right there.. This is not reflected in the yearly rankings that I looked it. So Dravid held #1 rank in a particular month!.. boo feking hooo! Let's just say for the purpose of this argument he was infact #1 for the ENTIRE 2004. Now tell me again.. how much is Outlook's prediction validated in saying "they will dominate world cricket for the next 10 years" THAT's my original pont..They didn't dominate jack Shite for a decade.

A batsman who would easily make the top 5 of his generation did dominate the world. So, you accept that all your stats and rankings have been debunked? Good.

You mean to say ICC hands the "Test player of the year award" and "Player of the year" award for the sake of argument? :facepalm: Dravid was also part of the World Test XI in 2006 and was named captain of the team - for the sake of argument perhaps.

so were a bunch of other players!.. We are talking "WORLD DOMINATION FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS SINCE 1998: Why do you think I posted rankings from 1999 thru 2008??

Looks like you are eager to shoot in your pants!.. When did I say that? :haha: You dug deep into the bowels of a website and showed me that Dravid was #1 DURING A MONTH! in the 10 Years of "world domination" that he was supposed to have been doing :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Where is that old thread where we had this debate? It was sort of sorted out.

[saket123]

since no one here is arguing for Ganguly. .. given his shoddy rankings.. it's safe to say he CERTAINLY does not live up to the hype of "dominating world cricket from 1998-2008"

Not this one. That had almost 6-10 pages. The one where Saket was bashing Dravid for no real reason and claimed that he is a fanboy of none. Only to admit that he is a SRT fan and its sort of a norm to like no other Indian batsman in my book because I'm a SRT fan. :congrats:

You can't read simple graphs, can't comprehend simple English, are backtracking on each point you have made. Just rambling on and on. You are no no fun! :(( Try some other sophistry next time.

oh wow!... You certainly have a way with words don't you Mr. English. It's amazing how articulately you have made your argument there!!... :cheer: "oooh look at Dravid.. he was ICC #1 ranked TEST Player..for the entire month of February 2004.. and therefore by reason of EXTREME Interpolation and Personal Bias.. he is hereby attributed to dominate World Cricket (not just in test mind you).. for an entire decade" Hope at least your sarcasm detection radar works! :hysterical:

Wow.. I feel flattered.. I have my own personal Paparazzi. :giggle::giggle: p.s. Saying someone is over-estimated.. is not exactly Bashing... What are you? a girl?

But why you have such an unhealthy obsession with Dravid?

:nono:Obsession would qualify if I made threads about how Dravid is overrated.. I don't do that.. I just give my take where it's relevant. Sorry if that hurt feelings. :nervous:
