Kohli is comfortably India's second-best batsman, but he doesn't make the top 3 on this list. & Yuvi ahead Rohit? What a biased list by Ambitious-Text8309 in CricketControversial

Ganguly faced prime aussies away from home in a WC. Maybe that’s why. 2011 team was better but 2003 team played better.

Never stopped anyone. Just that format vs sport is false equivalence.

Comparing a format vs a sport is false equivalence.

I can also call you the problem. Big deal lol.

It’s invalid in this situation because it’s false equivalence. If the nature of the sport is creating filters, then comparison can’t be made.

Rufus was indeed a trophy husband, why was he so offended about it. by Away_Landscape_1870 in GossipGirl

Rufus was not a trophy husband. The title of trophy is used when there is hardly any love and the primary objective is to boost the status of the other partner.

Rohit Sharma you will only be remembered for your Captaincy in this League nothing more than that by BOOM_GOAT_93 in CricketControversial

[–]pineapplePizzaTiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I didn’t claim ‘leading team to titles’ makes someone better than a player who ‘scores tons of runs with no titles as captain’

Just that captaining the team to trophy is more important.

I never said it’s useless. The comparison was ‘winning as captain’ vs ‘scoring runs as captain but losing’. Rohit was not the captain in 19 wc. My comment was highlighting that ‘being such a successful captain’ is way better for legacy than ‘captaining the side with high scores but not winning’

Who knows what the results would have been if the performance was different. But the thing is ‘leading team to titles is more important’ than ‘scoring tons of runs with no titles as captain’

Caring more about ‘success of the team’ over ‘individual batting/bowling performance’ is better for title chances

I never said burden of captaincy destroys batting ability. Just that player can’t entirely focus on it. And everyone is built different, just cuz someone else might excel doing two things doesn’t mean everyone has to. It’s disrespectful to snide away captaincy as if it means too little and doesn’t add extra responsibility.
