You clearly lost when I listed a massive list of quotes with everyone from Bradman to Lara jimself to loads of aussies claiming he was cleary better.



I won because I was right.

In fact I'd go as far as saying that even Dravid's better than Tendulkar.

Viv never wore a helmet, and wasn't keen on protection.

Viv > Bradman.

Viv never wore a helmet and so was Gavaskar but both wore a protective skull pad that wasn't there during Bradman's era.

My argument.

You cannot say Viv was better than Bradman by singling out the Bodyline series alone as even Viv had also struggled for runs against the Aussie attacks. I repeat Viv did struggle for runs but he was class apart like Don in the bodyline series.

You lost and you know it.
You are wrong and you know it.

Viv didn't wear as skull pad thing. Sunny G did though. Richardson's another that didn't bother till near the end of his career.

Viv would also tonk Bradman in a fight.

I won.

We agreed.

You also agreed that Dravid is better than Sachin T.

Even Joel Garner can tonk Viv in a fight.


Joel Garner was a gentle giant. Very nice chap. Not the type to fight.

Viv would win.
 
Spoony said:
United fan actually. So is Garner.

You're right, the section of his autobiography he devoted to Liverpool was a smokescreen

Innit.

Viv's a big United fan.

Neil Fairbrother

Cracking player, he's the reason I started supporting Lancashire.

I remember he signed up for one match in the Bangladeshi League playing for Abahani. Made a ton in front of a packed house. It was like the Pope paying a visit.

Great player. I admire him. I remember watching him in the MCG against Pakistan in the world cup final way back in 92.

If not for Akram's magic deliveries against Lamb and Lewis, Neil would've won the world cup for England

He should've played more Tests. They didn't give him a proper run.

Was devastated with that result.

Watched the tape of it over and over, maybe I was hoping the result'd change.

England might not have had much of a chance if Miandad hadn't played that daft reverse sweep.

At the time the TCCB was controlled by Dexter, Gooch and his cronies. Along with Lewis, Neil Fairbrother did'nt get enough chances...



Lewis did. He just didn't have the heart. Plus I don't think he was all that good.

Fairborther though was a class act.

You're a wannabe Aussie.

Viv's a United fan.

Doesn't say 'wannabe' on my Australian passport.

Viv's as much a United fan as Bill Shankly.

You paddy cnut.

You're a wannabe mate. You're born in Bangladesh, which mean you're plastic Aussie, as well a plastic Scouser.

And you're crap at cricket.

I thought Miandad was suffering from cramps and he slowed down as the game progressed. Inzy and Akram came on at the right moment.

I was also surpirsed when confident LBW appeals by Pringle were turned down. He should've got both Sohail and Imran earlier in the innings.
 
Fortunately one day cricket is crap and the World Cup is rubbish.

I hate U2.

You're an all round plastic person.

And you're shit at cricket.
 
Viv didn't have to face the West Indian quicks. Then again, neither did Bradman.

You're an all round spastic person.

The team I follow is shit at cricket.

I, on the other hand, have a bowling average of 8.

They should sign me up.
