Nicolas Pooran at this level can destroy a cricket ball and mesmerize a crowd

sorry mail.  I cant debate with you.  like chin I must leave you alone or run the risk of being taken to the cleaners by an intractable impse.

I don't know where you are coming from..its impossible to answer your questions and accusations because they are frankly of a low level, and dat can be by design.

have no time with dat Mail.  sorry!  it is better to talk with my regular interlocutors ketchim/sketcim... googles... kwami and company ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

at least I think I know where they are coming from :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

It's important to remember that a Viv Richards-like buttocks doesn't confer any added cricketing skills. It only increase one's ability to swagger and exude casual coolness.

It's one reason why many people prefer Hooper, with his ample trunk luggage, and wide, child-bearing hips...



...to Marlon Samuels, whose pancake buttocks commands far less respect.

Guyana Carl Hooper ? : a white Oz woman grabbed that good looker !

a better comparison is Guyana's Cuffy !

                     

Another stereotype is the "black man can't focus long enough for test cricket" stereotype, yet Gayle and Lara have 300s and 500s.

But there have been actual studies on the body shapes of the world's best test batsmen. If you look at the shapes of Ponting, Tendulkar and Lara, they're all of very similar builds and heights, the length of their arms optimized, able to generate the right blend of power and speed. Tall and bulky seems a detriment to test batsmen - in many ways, Gayle's an anomaly - though this may change with time; look how the body shape of tennis champions slowly shifts over the years.

The horrible thing about these kinds of biological discussions is how deterministic - not "racist" - it all is. There becomes an underlying assumption that bio-genetics determine everything, such that one's fate is sealed at birth.

And so there becomes an assumption that one can't be a good batsman unless they have Imran Khan's sexy Punjabi genes, or Viv's big booty, or Tendulkar's calm demeanor, or Ambrose's height, or Lara's diet of Roti.

And biology and chance does determine alot. But for every Ubermensh like Khan there's a Gayle who succeeds despite a heart condition, or a Chanderpaul who makes 10,000 test runs despite a floating bone in his skinny little foot.

TD dropping some heavy wood on your arse and you backing down!!!

::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

All this will be for Nought :

when Tallawah out Poo Poo Lights...tonight at 8 

backin' dong..like in running from ah fite ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

I was not aware that TD was in attack mode on me here.  in fact I find a lot of what TD is saying to be very informative.  I had no idea I had to fite him because of what he is saying.

Clyde Walcoot was a wicketkeper batsman.  he was too big he had to give up keeping.  the five best keepers west indies have had are all small men....
Alexander
Hendricks
Dujon
Murray
Ramdin
are keepers better small..or bigger.

Marshal is arguably the best ever west indan fast bowler.  he was a small man in a field of giants

wat now ::confused::  I have to engage in a fite with TD and cut his arse because Marshall small

Anthropologists will have a good laff at this thread.

Kalli seh it's all in the Wrist. 

well..wat about Usain Bolt then.  he is the very greatest of anomalies..a great sprinter, the greatest ever... at 6 feet 5 inches tall
