The ICC have reacted quickly today in an effort to quell the uprising of support to have Kumar Sangakkara labelled as a modern day great.
ICC CEO, apparatchik and ex South African list clogger David Richardson was quoted as saying that the ICC had to move fast to avoid a cricketing crisis.
“Today, Kumar Sangakkara retired with a mountain of Test runs.
While a great achievement in isolation, the ICC have been prompted to delve a little deeper to ensure we protect the sanctity of cricket’s records.”
Richardson went on to explain that Sangakkara’s Test stats were bloated by playing less of the Big 3 nations.
“Kumar averaged 57.40 for his career. But if you look at his record against the Big 3 being India, England and Australia, it becomes much less.
Well, in the case of India, his average is still well over 50 but you get my point.
Against the countries that run and profit the most from cricket, he doesn’t do as well.”
The ICC chief offered up further explanation.
“Sir Donald Bradman never got to play against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe. He also never got to play at the SSC ground in Sri Lanka.
Therefore, we were given a choice.
We could posthumously increase Bradman’s average to something like 150 to recognise what he most likely would have done against those teams, or we could cut Kumar’s average down.
We chose the latter as it was a little easier for the intern running our stats department.”
After removing Bangladesh and Zimbabwe from Sangakkara’s stats, the ICC claim that his new Test average is more like 53.87
“We believe that an average like 53.87 is much more reflective of his performances overall.
In fact, we then took another 0.1 off it to ensure it was less that Sachin’s 53.78
Kumar Sangakkara’s new seasonally adjusted Test average will therefore now be 53.77 in perpetuity. We don’t really care if he makes a comeback. This figure is permanent.”
The ICC also removed Sangakkara’s 9 Test centuries made against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. This brings him down to the same amount of hundreds as Bradman.
‘The comparison now looks better’ said Richardson.
“Not only is his test batting average almost half of Sir Don’s, but Bradman has a Test bowling average better than Ishant Sharma and Sangakkara doesn’t.”
The ICC believe that this change now protects the legacy of Sachin, Ponting, Kallis and Lara as the modern day greats.
“Sangakkara still has some records.
For example, no other player in Test cricket history who has a double ‘k’ in their name has made as many runs or centuries.
Kumar and Sri Lankan cricket can be very proud of that stat.
It may never be broken”

In that case one should remove Bangladesh and Zimbabwe Averages from modern day cricket greats such as Sachin, Ponting, Kallis and Lara as well and you’ll see Sangakara will still be leading. 😉
Yeah. Probably
also note that ICC chief, bradman never met with Mr.Muttiah Muralitharan. If so, Bradmans Average may be less than 40. LOL. what a funny comparision are you mad.??????????
well said…
Sachin centuries, how many LBWs not given by Indian umpires?
I think WI and ENG were only strong test playing nation during Bradman’s
days. Also, Bradman played mainly against ENG in ENG and AUS
(http://goo.gl/mn6WWn), so he was familiar with all pitches and bowlers.
Situation is totally different now. Anyway, no one should pay attention
to those stupid comments.
Hilarious article..!! Hilarity is of course directed at the intellectual level of the author..And thumbs up of @Kasi’s comment
Thanks. I love a good insult.
Dennis Licks Bradman’s Ass should be the REAL name of this stupid blog, and I know you will be deleting this post immediately, as you have done to several other posts that you simply can’t stomach. You quote the ICC chief, when he has absolutely made no such comment, just because you are (I hate to say the following because I am from the United States and this is not what we believe as a society) freaking Jobless, Ignorant, Racist, Fat Australian Faggot getting your jollies by “jerking off” when others respond to your stupid made-up bullshit — This observation is confirmed because you religiously respond to every comment posted. You really need help because you then impersonates as another idiot (OR gets a friend to post) that the intent of this article was SATIRE (by copying and pasting the meaning of satire) after you see huge backlash. OKIE now you can cum one more time, pea brain.
Wow! you sir, have made a right fool of yourself. You probably need look up the word ‘Sarcasm’
Pretty sure everyone on here knew those Quotes weren’t legit.
Seriously! don’t take this as a good insult but make sure you don’t write whatever you want cuz you don’t like Asians. You are a typical racist and if the ICC CEO made those comments then he is a racist too. You are basically comparing two different levels of cricket. I hope you are aware that Cricket evolved with the technology thus far and it will continue to evolve in the future as well. First learn your history, do a research on then Cricket and now. Never write whatever you think cuz you’ll be regarded as just another writer who writes solely based on his ego and ideals than respecting information. support your facts without just laying them off on a friggin blog. Don’t try to be a smarty pants without being able to support your article with facts.
one has to be sick at mind to do this, depriving a man for his exceptional work.
This comment is true
Guys you are barking down the wrong three 😀 Atleast get the hint from the 0.1 reduction scenario 😀
unbelievable stupidity:-)

Oh that illusive thing called humour. Some people just doesn’t get it. Great article, enjoyed it.
You mean it was funny?
People should always realize that with all due respect to Sir Don Bradman, he may have never played against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe but he had never played during an era where cricket is so competitive & developed to an extent of studying batsman’s techniques, strengths & weaknesses to capitalize using the latest technology spending millions. I’m sorry say this as I’m one of the biggest fans of S. D. B., but he payed in era where bowlers just run & deliver the ball. Hope he played in an era which there are so many bowling variations, dedicated bowling coaches for each country & various pitches made to the liking of respective country played against…
What was Bodyline then? Do uncovered pitches matter?
not to worry macho this a haters blog 😛
Is it some kind of joke, Dennis….
I don’t believe people represent ICC said b***s*** like this….
Anyways, I feel Sanga doesn’t care much about this, as greats like him doesn’t give a d*** and answer on the field
Yes, it is some kind of a joke. Some call it parody
Excellent satire! Love you man!
Did you subscribe?
yeah 🙂
Utter Bullshit…. Even then Sir Don has played only (mostly) against England where he knew the bowlers tactics merrily….So dont try to compare that era with current era. Coz Sir Don,Sachin & Sangakkara will be always considered as the GREATS of the Game..
I have done similar stats over the years to wind up fans of Ian Bell by deleting his Bangladesh runs. He averages 42 without them in test cricket.
Why does everyone assume that all batsmen double their average against Bangladesh?
They don’t, in Bell’s case they triple them!
this is a good and entertaining article indeed but, does the ICC also have any ideas to revise the 2007 aussie world cup victory with the squash ball incident and the poor light conditions.
im sure the likes of Sir don bradman wouldn’t do such things as well!!! (please do note no offence to that great player or his talent )
“…do the ICC have any ideas…?”
No
but then why mess with Sangakkara?
I have read some of your articles, And then I realized this is a joke.
A really good one 😀 :p
When the ICC is involved, it is possible it is not a joke
sir donald wer so lucky cos ther wer no wasim,wackar,murali,ajmal,malinga,stain,kumbly when he banged the unlucky and un talented poor old day bowlers ..and post the records of the leading fast and spin bowlers of sir donalds time .. then we will c
.
Well said
And also those days Bradmon had the chance to bat 2nd time after he got out. And crickets rules were very soft compared to modern day cricket…
That’s where everything goes funny, when ICC is involved… haha…
Then ICC has to do something with Bradmans records against India & S.Africa too..
Because Bangladesh is better than Indian team at 1928 – 1948..
Look at the records 😉
Ooohhh. A Bangladesh v India comparison. Love it
Around 40’s, yeah.. look at the stats
Hey, I rally like your other satires man… 😀
Haha sarcasm at its best. Hats off to you dear Sir
good joke. I mean a good try. best part is reducing 0.1 because it should be lower than sachin’s.!!
Mother fucker Richardson u need to suck Australian and Indians dick…. y did u allow to play Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in test???
Dear Dennis. As the author of this article can you please confirm where and when these comments were made by David Richardson? And if this is the official position of the ICC of if this is just a hoax because I see nothing elsewhere with regards to any comments on Kumar Sangakkara’s records being altered!
It was from a one on one interview
one-on-one…?!? awww… on the bed with u huh ?? Lolz… #ROFL

This is utter rubbish article, if it so then why the hell ban & zim playing & even sachin, ponting , kallis etc take their runs & 100s then you where are they belongs.
This is an awesome article, are you crazy? It’s called satire, He is lifting up the great Sangakkara and recognizing his skills , while putting down the ICC, as if it’s something stupid they might do.
Satire: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
I’ve never been labelled like that before Ed. I feel so patronised. 🙂

sanga doesn’t have the natural talent as mahela,sanath & aravinda had but definitely hard worker than any of them that’s what make him special and better than them…sanga is the best example for that saying ” If you were born poor it’s not your mistake but if you die poor it’s your mistake”
sir donald wer so lucky cos ther wer no

Uncovered pitches, crap bats when compared with modern bats, Bodyline bowling, No Helmets, Harold Larwood, Bradman was lucky my arse.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodyline
This is hilarious , Who gave Zimbabwe and Bangaladesh ICC status ? this then under minds world cricket standards , Stop making excuses , He Kumar is a great batsman in the likes of Sir, Donald Bradman . If one would learn to Accept Defeat with honor, It sure will Make Cricket the Gentleman’s game it used to be …
racism, discrimination……………….
I agree. You should write to your local icc representative and complain.
LOL
Hilarious. Clearly you love the ICC as much as I do Dennis. Keep up the good work. 🙂
@Dennis I guess this is a joke, right? :p You totally had me there….
See Definition of Satire
I don’t do jokes
That’s insane, I guess no one has played such a wonderful 4th inning against one of best Australia’s bowling attacks except Sangakara. He scored 192 in 4th inning of a test match against Australia in Australia and was given out for a ball which caught off his helmet. I don’t think so called modern day heroes like “Sachin,Lara or Kallis” never played such a wonderful inning with elegance. Too bad your so called heroes weren’t good enough as Sangakkara
You have a great sense of sarcasm :D.
But anyway, is there any way to compare players who had played during different time spans? May be a weighted average or something?
the stupidest analysis ever by no.1 retard in the history of cricket
ok got it now. its humor by Dennise na?
So proud.
Did he say that India is one of big 3 in test cricket?? Is it based on performance or money they throw in to buy in?
A dog is barking. If Bradman was alive he would admit Sanga is a great player because Bradman was and still is a great. Greats come and go. Why somebody try to keep the greats as greats forever while new greats are emerging. I think it is not Sangas records have to be revied but the ass holes in the gentlemen’s game.
Well.. Mr. Dave Richardson, Sir Don Bradman played only against England and he never faced any oppositions like India and of course he never had any choice other than playing against the English.. For your information, if you consider Zimbabwe and Bangladesh as weak teams and they shouldn’t be playing test cricket, its ICC s fault (That includes YOU) such teams are given test status . On the other hand, England is no more the best test playing nation… May be 30 years ago… According to your analysis there is no modern greatness in cricket… Even Kallis averages 41 and 44 against Australia and England respectively however he averages 169 agaist Zim. So if you take that off then did you even think what is going to be his average…… thank you Mr Richardson for your hard work putting together one pathetic analysis on modern day greatness… LOL…. Go home OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE… ITs the 21st Century……
What a load of rubbish. Did you know that Sangakkara took fewer bathroom breaks than Tendulkar proving that his sturdier kidneys made him a better batsman? We are now looking into the number of bowel movements of both players, and the texture of their fecal matter which will also facilitate finding proof which one is the best batsman. It has been hinted that Tendulkar’s average bowel movement was also smaller in content than Sangakkara’s, with the extraordinary coincidence that the difference was almost exactly the same as the difference in their batting averages, Sangakkara’ 59 to Sachin’s 53. Our Indian friends are like the Christians of America – they are trying to make us believe in the one and true God, Sachin, whereas we Buddhists in Sri Lanka do not believe in deities. But both Sangakkara and Tendulkar are good cricketers, with Sangakkara perhaps having the edge because of his excellent wicket keeping record.
You totally had me until the point where the reduction of 0.1.. lol lol lol…..
the the sarcasm is well taken and the story delivers the intended message well.
Ha haaaaa…..this is a really funny article…..hay dennis, u almost had me there…..I was 2 blame at you……bt iv re read it….then only got the point….so this is the way ICCuns think……ha haaaa…..nice try…..cricket lovers, this is not an insult to great Sanga or any other cricket legend including Sir Bradman or Sachin…..
This is only the way ICC think……..
LOVE CRICKET
“no other player in Test cricket history who has a double ‘k’ in their name has made as many runs or centuries”. who is this dumb-ass ,and thought of a joke (hint) to entertain his committee but not the cricket world
I this this is not true, fake news..!!
It’s not fake news, it’s a humor article. picking on the ICC for all their stupidity.

I think this is not true, its false news.
It’s not fake news,
It was a very funny article
It’s not fake news, it’s an article making fun of the ICC
Heh … it was funny; but unfortunately perhaps a bit too “believable” for the Sri Lankan fans. 😉 Kumar Sangakkara is one of Cricket’s Greats, as are the others who are on that list. 🙂
First of all, Sir Donald Bradmon is a god in cricket. But that never explains how Sanga is not a great cricketer. Players who played more than 100 tests, Sanga has the best average. I believe even if we cut Ban and Zim still he gets the top in the list. Even in the above article, he has 57.13 average against Ban. Especially when he got 287 against South africa and even today’s 203 made him so special to be remembered and he has so many other innings which makes him so special
The way to salute a hero is not to criticize him in a negative attitude or showing what he has never achieved. That ICC CEO should have a better idea to respect cricketing legends otherwise in the same manner one day he will criticize Si Donald Bradmon as well
Sanga is a cricketing great!, the article was satire
As a sri Lankan I’m so proud of kumar he is a gentleman not only for cricket but as a person. We do not have words to describe him. Whatever you said you cannot take back his popularity,talent and his qualities as a human being.
I’m a Sri Lankan and Big fan of Sanga. Really enjoyed your article. For me Its a BIG 6 against BIG 3
sachin who cares… he is not a good batsman.. everyone knows sanga is the best batsman in the world now a days.. don do like stupid thing..,, indian fuckers… srilankans talented than stupid shitty indians thats it
So Bradman scored most of his runs against England, that is the equivalent of playing Zimbabwe today
And in sir bradmans days I think the law rules were also different. I don’t know where ICC gets their logics from
And in sir bradmans days I think the lbw rules were also different. I don’t know where ICC gets their logics from
Please go through Richardson’s records! It’s sucks!
cheap way to get people to view this rubbish article
We need intelligent ICC chief .
LOL! is this a joke! I’d Pick Kumar Lara and Jack Kallis over people like Sachin Tendulkar Anytime! Not anyone of them are from so called big three!
Who is Bradman???
Dennis does cricket has been day dreaming….and ended up with a nightmare………….!!!!!
What a load of bastards in the ICC panal! The favour the Aussies, indians and sounth Africans. Looking at these assumptions makes me realized how biased the system. But again this is not an official web page so this could be a haters work
{Holding my head, shaking it in disbelief} i understand there is a language barrier ,but I can’t believe how many people are not understanding that this is a great article, it’s HUMOR, It’s satire, poking fun at the ICC and also pointing out how great Sanga really is.
Edward, more than the language barrier it’s the fact that satire or sarcasm is culturally almost non existent in Sri Lanka. So most of us here don’t do a very good job recognizing it. Sad to see most of the comments here but you have to admit, it’s a good laugh 😉
Great point, i have found this out playing sub continent players for the last 12 years in USA league cricket. And yes your right , I’ve had a good laugh.
Richardson and the heads of ICC you go and fuck with dogs
you idiots did not have the ability to play gentleman sport on those days and also nowadays.
Go and sell your asses in Indian and Australian pavements bastards
It is shame on you ICC . Why did you wait till today. In my opinion you should give more points to some one coming from a developing country not having proper training facilities. Let England enjoy the past Glory.
hey denis pussy boy why are you taking down my comment 😛 faggot. Go get yourself a Spine lol
If they adjust everything do they know during Bradman’s era there was no LBW, if this was there what could be the Bradman’s average???
WTF i didn’t know there was no LBW in Bradmans era? Do you have any research to back that up? It’s my understanding that LBW has been around since 1774.
Averages against BAN n ZIM of modern day greats that you are talking (Sachin,Kallis) are higher than sangakkaras. So why double standards ??
Dennis aussie pussy boy keeps removing my comments 😛 your blog sucks so bad. :DDDDDDD faggot
No I haven’t.
Its so funny..Pl dont insult great Sanga…
Keep in mind that Sanga had the less opportunity to play in overseas and his overseas records is much better than modern day greats.
At the same time Sir Don never played in spinning subcontinent pitches and if he played over there his average may be less than what he has got now.
Why did not explain Mr.Richardson Tendulkar,Ponting,Kallis or Lara how many centuries had scored against or average against Bangladesh/Zimbabwe. Why do you bother about someone records? these countries are test playing nations. Some one from SouthAfrica make 500 Bangladesh or Zimbabwe are going write about accept or erase from the record books as a ICC CEO.
Records are to be breake There will be more legends but as well as We don’t want People like you ICC governmenning body criticised some one achievement.
Was this idiot drunk or high on crack when he came up with such a stupid theory?
Yes. Both
Wat an article… if this is so true.. then there is another fact that it was Sri Lanka who brought in the Idea of 3rd Umpire or TV umpire but unexpectedly it was rejected by ICC and then it was re-brought by the South Africans it was approved.. this says that The Big Nations are takin of the Great Game of Cricket… again its a South African… Very Disapppointed… and Kumar Sangakkara will be the Best player ever im modern day cricket.. even if u compare to Sachin, Ponting and Kallis…
We Love u Kumar…
Mohamed Aadil from Sri Lanka.
I am disgusted. Guys we should also add the balling variations like in-swing out-swing and especially reverse swing and dusra which haunted batsmen in the modern cricket. How can you compare cricket like this. Also Even though Bradman did not play against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh there must have been test nations that were at the level of those two countries by then. For instance New zealand or Sri Lanka were not the best test teams when they started playing test. Another stupid thing about this comparison is that they include England as a one of the big 3. why not South Africa and Pakistan who are usually better than than them. Why ICC does this.
“Why ICC does this.”
Because they are silly sods
“Sangakkara still has some records.
For example, no other player in Test cricket history who has a double ‘k’ in their name has made as many runs or centuries.
Kumar and Sri Lankan cricket can be very proud of that stat.”
This is most pathetic way of saying you’re still great bc you’re the only one with a long weird name so be proud of that.
Part of the reason is “We chose the latter as it was a little easier for the intern running our stats department.” well get someone who can do it the right way not the easy way. what a joke.
If Dennis were to exclude records against bangladesh and zimbabwe with the 5 recent greats each players average would be:
Kallis: 52.98 runs
Lara:52.53
Ponting:51.10
Tendulkar:51.01
Sangakkara’s average stands at 54.09 including the last double century which Dennis didn’t take into account, and just as a full time batsmen without taking over the gloves his average stands at 62.50.
Love a sense of humour but a poor joke
such a dick
Don’t speak about Kumar in that way
My dear friend, I know it’s kind of hard to accept and appreciate a player of this caliber and class due to the fact that player comes from a poor and small country unlike the so called ‘big 3’. The ICC you refer to is nothing but a totally biased organization like your self. It is an organization which forgot to mention and make a note in the highest wicket taking bowlers last match. If Sanga was an Indian, Aussie or a brithish Your article would have been completetly different. I’ll bet You would call him god of cricket.( which he deserves) Why dosent any body talk about sachins figures against countries like bangladesh or Zimabwe ??? And obviously SDB was the greatest. But does anybody talk about his figures against couties like india which was obviously in a lesser standered than bangladesh back then. Try to enjoy Sanga when you have the time. Try to give your respect when he deserves. Try to be a man who sees the world with out hatred and anger. I’m sorry to say my friend, You have prooved your self as a joker.
“You have prooved your self as a joker”
Thanks! It was what I was aiming for
This is ridiculous. If he born in Aus, Eng Or India nobody will talk about it. So who has given the test status to Bangladesh & Zimbabwe ? Is it Sangakkara or ICC ?
shame! jealousy comes to play here..Thanks Kasi for your thought!
This is clear BS and should just be ignored. A team is given test status so that it has the ability to compete at the top level, be it Zimabawe or Bangladesh. Or the ICC should strip their test status. As it is Kumara has scored another double tone will definitely beat the record of 12 double tons of sir bradman. All these comments of the ICC is biased hodge podge. When Kumara retires, he will definitely be a modern cricketing great with the best avg behind Sir Don…….. All the best Kumar
ICC gave Zimbabwe and Bangladesh test status because ICC believed that they have the competency to play test cricket. so what kind of a joke ICC trying to play now, this really a shame and disgusting move by ICC.
Hey Dennis, I found my way to your article through FB to see what all the fuss was about. Hats off to you Sir!
I’m sorry about all the rage and vitriol poured out in the comments section by some of my countrymen who aren’t in on the joke.
Guys, relax and think before you post. He isn’t making fun of Kumar or anything of the sort. He’s making fun of the ICC.
So stop making idiots of yourselves and learn to take a joke.
Cheers Mevan. Can you point me to the FB page where the issue is?
I shared it too 😀 But was lucky enough to get to know the satire thing and deleted it within minutes 😉
Hi again Dennis, I can’t seem to find it again to, sorry mate. Anyways, I hope you’ll continue to the good work and don’t mind the haters. tc
Hi Dennis. I tried to find the page that it came from, but I can’t seem to track it down. But it was pretty much the same sort of rant as the comments section (albeit in Sinhalese). Anyways, thanks for being a good sport and keeping it cool. 🙂 Do keep up the good work and keep giving the ICC beans! #Subscribed!
Amending the Test Record would not simply doesn’t make a Legend unlegendary. #JealousyBastards
May be we should remove all the runs Indians scored in India and see what happen eh?

“Not only is his test batting average almost half of Sir Don’s, but Bradman has a Test bowling average better than Ishant Sharma and Sangakkara doesn’t.”
are you expecting him to bowl while wicket keeping, Grate?
We have a good recognition with all due respect from Sri Lanka for the person who wrote this article. The Title is called “Ponnaya”
This is outrageous. Sanga has played exceptionally against any country who plays crickets. sir Don Bradman has played and set records against the countries who played at his time. Cricket is known as Englishman’s game and this is sadly politics. It doesn’t matter, we Sri Lanakans love and respect Sanga for his extraordinary performance whether he holds the record or not. but a sport should not be like this. it should be dedicated to the players who play the the game, not to some committee which handle’s the modern day cricket. I believe if Sir Don was alive he would also give Sanga the place he deserve because this is cricket, a sport which has won every corner of the world not for setting up some records but to play brilliant game between teams.
“ICC had to move fast to avoid a cricketing crisis.” sorry SHAME on, ICC is CREATING “CRICKETING CRISIS” among the Cricketing Nations.Even after somany consideratin’s STATS doesn’t LIE….. That’s what happen when the WRONG PERSON’S GET IN TO THE “ICC” ” CRICKETING CRISIS”,,,Should not blem the ICC,
Then what about the fielding? u think that fielders would dive to stop runs? my arse they would in that rough pitch and look at the ground.. if you are comparing something look all ways Edward.. please Bradman’s era there was no hotspot, do review system like today which is a 50 50…. all an all its very competitive to score run’s today

Australia V India also no hotspot or DRS , actually India V anyone , and watching the indian fielders, they mostly don’t throw themselves around either, so…. If Bradman played india today, It’d be like his time anyway , but with better bats and protection, and not bowling at your head while putting all the fielders on the legside behind square. No 2 bouncer rule then either !
Looking all the way around , up one side and down the other.
Back foot no ball rule as well. Larwood a meter further down the track than modern bowlers, plus a ball that turned into an egg after ten overs.
As good as Tendulkar was, his average isn’t even in the top twenty! He’s a modern day “good”, but not a great.
Utter nonsense. He has a Darrel Harper mindset . A bully unable to enjoy cricket and not willing to give credit where credit is due.You need to consult a psychiatrist
For godssake Dennis, you almost gave me a heart attack!! I was this close to write some harsh letter to ICC 😀 it was ony when I saw that gentleman’s comment I got to know that it’s just sarcasm. Hell of an article man (Y) Keep up 🙂
You should still write the letter
Doing so will never harm a bit on Sanga. He is our hero. Doing so will surely show the world how much you have been fucked up by sangas stats and performances.
This is practical bullshit!!! Sachin scored his 100th century against bangladesh!! wt abot tht???
Yeah. What about that!
Big three including England ha ha haa .england can’t win fucking decent cricket match a football match anything international hard to come by .fucking dumb assholes
Dennis Licks Bradman’s Ass should be the REAL name of this stupid blog, and I know you will be deleting this post immediately, as you have done to several other posts that you simply can’t stomach. You quote the ICC chief, when he has absolutely made no such comment, just because you are (I hate to say the following because I am from the United States and this is not what we believe as a society) freaking Jobless, Ignorant, Racist, Fat Australian Faggot getting your jollies by “jerking off” when others respond to your stupid made-up bullshit — This observation is confirmed because you religiously respond to every comment posted. You really need help because you then impersonates as another idiot (OR gets a friend to post) that the intent of this article was SATIRE (by copying and pasting the meaning of satire) after you see huge backlash. OKIE now you can cum one more time pea brain.
So what I want to know Dennis is , with all the views and comments you generate , where is all the advertising??? you should be getting some $$$ for putting up with all this hate.
I aim to never advertise on the site. It’s purpose is not to generate revenue. It’s to show the media world that they should hire me full time 🙂
You are contradicting yourself, first you say you do not want advertisements because the “purpose is not to generate revenue” but in the very next line you state that it is with an aim to be hired “full Time” so are you planning to work for free, or do you expect a salary ?
Getting paid to generate content is different to smothering this site with advertising
if they want this done, they should do that to every single player stat and ban Bangladesh and Zimbabwe from Test Cricket. I can’t think of something fairer.
I know, it’s a bit silly ain’t it. Bradman faced four sides, Of that India and SouthAfrica were minnows then, probably worse off than than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe of today.
And avg close to 200 against both the sides. Top players will dominate against the lower, you expect that. People will criticize even if they average a mere mortal number. Can’t please everyone.
Sanga is world class player, and should rightly be up there with the very best. A damn shame he’s played so little abroad.
Sachin averages a whopping 136 against Bangladesh, take that off and are we looking at less than 50 average?
Brilliant article! Subscribed and about to binge on your posts. We have a new Jarrod Kimber! (Can’t believe it took me this long to come across your blog) Cheers from Colombo!
P.S. – Pardon the hate flowing your way. Culturally a lot of us Sri Lankans don’t do a very good job recognizing satire or sarcasm! But I see you’re having a ball with the comments 😉
Very kind 🙂
As a Sri Lankan Fan – I got to tell some of the Sri Lankans posted here – guys – get a sense of humor already! This a really funny stuff!
is this some kind of a joke ? you say “Sir Donald Bradman never got to play against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.”
did he ever play against Muththaiya Muralitharan, Lasith Malinga,Chaminda Vass,Dale Steyn, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoib Akthar, Daniel Vettori, Shane Bond or Sunil Narine ? if so bradman’s average may be around 30-40.
Yes. It is some kind of a joke. Thanks for noticing.
buhahahahahahahahaa…..bring some more stupid analysis like this…what lame people are these white people
DennisCricket_ average of 63 in Australia.
Obviously a crap player
DennisCricket_ Can we see same stats for Sachin please, very very curious ?
chabdullah88 All in good time.
