I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts. ;D ;D ;D

* Well, it's good to see the Rev inspired you to delve into the subject of opinions versus facts. ;D
* Your post above would make for a good college essay.
* I'll grade you a solid B+---you went off on too many tangents.
BOTTOM LINE:
[size=14pt]The Rev likes to keep things simple. No need to muddle things up.[/size]
One last thing---you mentioned "failure results in decisions that are inconclusive."
That is absolutely correct---but the Rev has a another twist on failure----here it is:
[size=14pt]Failure is good---failure is a part of life---we fail all the time---if you don't fail you never learn---and if you don't learn you'll never change----look at West Indies cricket----the players are not learning from their failures---and so the team keeps failing---success comes when you learn from failure.[/size]
In conclusion, its like the girl who can’t dance says the band can’t play. ;D ;D,
a very broad statement.

Soca:
[size=14pt]You are free to intellectualize, rationalize and explain away all you want. [/size]
Go right ahead.
May I remind you that the subject of this thread deals with "TOP 5 BATSMEN".
The great Brian Lara listed his Top 5; the amiable Rev gave his list. ;D
NOW! I AM YET TO SEE YOUR LIST.
[size=14pt]Instead you are trying to engage the Rev in a little repartee[/size]. ;D
Listen! The Rev's style is nearly always shaped by SIMPLICITY.
[size=14pt]There are some, mainly those who pride themselves in being wizards or intellectuals, who go out of their way to make the simple complicated---but making the simple complicated is commonplace----any Tom, Dick, Harry or Socafighter can do that ;D---the Rev prides himself in being the opposite---I try to make the complicated simple, awesomely simple ;D. And that is why you find the Rev being very numbers oriented in his discussions even on a cricket site---I find numbers to be a wonderful tool for reasoning.[/size]
Anyway Soca---keep up with your intellectualizing, rationalizing and explaining away---I am rather enjoying your trying to make the simple complicated. ;D hahahahaha
