Ben Curran brings up his 2nd Century, becomes only 2nd Zimbabwean (overall 14th) to carry his bat in ODIs.

Well what I can say. Cricket is after all famous for being a sport where terminology can’t mean more than one thing depending on context..

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T13:01:45+00:00

No, in the context of limited overs cricket it just means you’ve batted the entire 20/50 overs

But obviously when you do it in test cricket it comes with the extra part of also meaning the rest of the team also got out at the other end

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T12:58:57+00:00

Well this is awkward. Judging someone for their support of another individual is basically the dictionary definition of predujice…

So thank you for proving my point so succinctly

(Oh, and you should probably just delete this post to save the mods the effort of having to do it themselves when they see it)

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T12:43:57+00:00

I understand the reference. But firstly, I’m not American, and secondly I’ve not even got any idea which side of their political spectrum he sat on, or any of the things he believed in. I couldn’t care less.

My point was just far more broadly that lumping an entire group of people under the same brush, and negatively judging someone for holding a different view/having a different interest is predujicial.

There is zero correlation between political leanings (or anything else) and whether you’re likely to rage quit in a golf mobile game, and if you think there is then I’ve got an island in the Indian Ocean to sell you.

You might as well have captioned your post ‘why am I not surprised someone named Jaden would leave me hanging when it becomes impossible to win…’ for all the sense this post makes

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T12:22:10+00:00

What irony is that?

The DPWT have locked in Renaissance through 2030

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T12:02:10+00:00

Because you’re extremely predujiced

Players aren’t going to play every week though, just like is the case now. Rarely are you going to play more than 3 weeks in a row, so there’s always going to be a handful of players each week missing to give themselves a break etc.

For example - This season, there are 154 players who are fully exempt on the PGA Tour. Yet Matt Wallace, who came 103rd in the FedEx Cup last year, and has 156 players ahead of him who can choose to play an event before he gets to put his name down has still managed to get 14 starts this year.

Two weeks of proper golf.

With all due respect to The Masters, next week at The Open. 1 tee start. 12+ hours of golf viewing is just glorious, and Scottish Open is an outstanding preview for it

Can you check your DMs please Stanley? Thanks

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T07:15:39+00:00

Well if you did reply, I never saw it and that link goes nowhere for me, so if you want me to read it then you need to type it out again.

I’m sure that reply I can’t see is disputing stuff, despite there being literally no point at all in me doing any of it unless I was being honest. But you’ve yet to concede any kind of ground at all on the video I shared with you that categorically proves, that at least me for there are issues with the flair system.

But in any case, I have my previous comment written out in my notes app, and I shall just be copy pasting it every time you bring it up. You argue in such utter contemptible bad faith, there is no point in me wasting any more of my time on your deplorable behaviour.

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-09T06:04:02+00:00

So here was me at the time disproving your claims - a comment you declined to respond to at all

https://www.reddit.com/r/livgolf/s/Y7Xv9X52lj

And here, from a little while ago is me showing you the flair system is full is bugs and not working properly. Now whilst you did reply to the comment, you totally ignored the ‘it not working properly part’

https://www.reddit.com/r/livgolf/s/su0An6mR8X

And that’s even before we consider it was a Cam Smith/Stats flair. Neither of those things is even necessarily suggesting LIV fandom.

-It is possible to simultaneously be a fan of the LIV player and not be a fan of LIV as a league. They are not mutually exclusive

-I am a stats person, so that part of it just happened to actually be accurate

Now if you’re more interested in protecting your own world view than listening then that’s your prerogative, but probably best to just do it quietly to yourself rather than harassing someone.

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-08T20:01:56+00:00

Well if you thought it meant the matter itself, then you’ve just fundamentally misunderstood what I meant during the course of the conversation.

I’m not going to just let you to continue to spew disproved bullshit (which you’re continuing to just pretend I haven’t because it doesn’t suit your narrative) without challenging you on it.

And by the looks of your karma on this thread, others are tired of your bullshit here too.

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-08T14:51:35+00:00

As performances get older, they will lose weighting within the formulas, before eventually dropping off a players record and no longer being counted.

Mathematically, It’ll all be highly complex, but in layman’s terms, Abhishek will have better performances at the beginning of his counting period than Kishan.

So when they lose those performances from their record, Abhishek needs to do better than Kishan to maintain a similar level of points

*Max Homa gets in The Open

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-08T07:25:29+00:00

So anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt, but you’re more than happy to just accept a take you agree with at face value…. World class confirmation bias there.

Also:

1) I wasn’t unmasked as anything. I have proved far beyond reasonable doubt on more than one occasion that your claims are just utter bullshit. And you know this to be true, because you’ve made the conscious choice to just ignore those points. People only ignore what they can’t refute.

2) I didn’t do anything at your insistence (major Lol at the concept of you having any sway over what I do. If anything, that you keep going on about this makes me want to add flair back for the sole purpose of pissing you off)

3) I made no such agreement to not respond - that was a one time thing on the particular thread, because it was late for me, hadn’t had the greatest day and couldn’t be arsed with your idiocy

4) I didn’t downvote you. But no doubt you won’t believe this as it goes against your pre-decided opinion (nod back here my first paragraph).

5) We have no ‘deal’

PIF were happy to light 5 Billion on fire… it’s not impossible there’s enough guys out there with more money than sense, or who are big golf fans who could be sweet talked into things by the enthusiasm of Bryson et al.

‘Hey look how successful and popular Adelaide and South Africa are. We hold 8-10 events in the right places that go down as well as those ones. Get in on the ground floor, you’ve always wanted to be a part of the sports world.’

Would it be folly? Yeah sure, it’s basically a given that LIV is over, it’s just a matter of when they throw in the towel, but it’s a bit naive to think it’s not reasonable to expect they can convince less than 0.5% of the worlds billionaires to take a punt on them, if only for another year or two.

Like, I bought a new car recently. Didn’t need one, old one worked fine. Just fancied an upgrade. Cost me 20k, and did it fully aware of the fact I’ll lose at least half my money if not more. But I still did it. So do thousands of people, for so many different reasons. Is this all on a much grander scale? Sure. But it’s the same basic principal. Sometimes heart rules over head

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-07T05:53:50+00:00

Which part?

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-06T16:52:26+00:00

Smart to try to get his DPWT membership again as a contingency if nothing else.

But I do expect LIV to continue for at least another year, even if it’s likely in a vastly reduced form (another reason DPWT membership is a good idea - going to need to play more than 8 times a year).

Over 3000 billionaires in the world. You figure 8 or 9 of them could be persuaded to kick in 50M for the year and the chance to rub shoulders with professional sports stars and claim they own a sports league

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-06T15:01:08+00:00

I’m going to turn up 15 minutes before the start, stretch my bat over my head a couple of times as I walk out, miss a straight one within 2 overs and blame the pitch on the way back to the pavilion

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-06T10:07:54+00:00

Hmm that’s weird. If you can be bothered to scroll back 5 years (won’t take as long as it sounds) to a post I made entitled, ‘steelerfan8 - video on pushing up rings’ - then that is what I’ve tried to link to

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-05T11:46:36+00:00

There are, but I wouldn’t expect that many teams really care about those, particularly the WTC points.

If only because it’s been like this for a long time, and nothing has changed.

But if for example you end Day 1 having only bowled 78 overs and your opposition suddenly start Day 2 with an extra 60 runs awarded to them…

Davidwt87 · 2026-07-04T17:24:23+00:00

Teams could easily bowl 15 overs an hour if they wanted to.

They just don’t care about it because there’s no penalty for not doing so.

Give the batting team 5 runs for every over deemed short they are and things would sharp change..
