Americans Again!
I'm real sorry, but all you 'pride struck' Americans who have voted the best cricket players have come from the USA, need a brain transplant with someone who has more than the one brain cell. The USA barely even know the word never mind produce cricketing legends! To find real class look back a bit to guys like Ian Botham and Rodney Marsh and, of course, the greatest batter probably ever Viv Richards! Sorry yanks, but this is one sport you haven't mastered yet! Maybe in 10 years. Good luck England against India tomorrow! Great nations have barely been voted for and Americans who don't even know the basics think their team are good. Sorry guys! ~~~~Matt~~~

Matt, anyone would do that for their country. Just get over it. A while ago I was on a UK ice hockey web site and they had a poll, "Which country has the most skilled ice hockey team?" And England won by a landslide, when anyone who knows about hockey knows that they are no where near being one of the best. People just vote for their contry and it's a fact of life that you have to deal with.

Australia is the greatest cricket team in the world and we have the greatest cricketors in the world. Eg, Don Bradman, Ricky ponting, Merve Hughes, Mark War, Shane Warne, the list is endless.

Not all Americans are like the stupid people oh and rude people frome america on this page. I just clicked one and I dont think it was America I just want the points. I cant belive Lauren said that about all Americans. The only person here who is narrowminded here is you Lauren. You shouldent put blanket staments over a contry! Other than that I am a very open person a I have never seen America play cricket but I'm guessing that we are not that good compared to England since they have been playing a lot longer than we have!
James 17-Mar-02
Donald Bradman was the best batsmen ever. Also as cricket lovers we must unite and show americans a sport which is so much fun
steve 10-Feb-02
actually that would be dim-witted, unlike Kelly I am atleast willing to recognize when I am wrong, lol.
steve 10-Feb-02
To anyone from South Africa, Australia, England or any other cricket playing nation please don't judge Americans based off of Kelly. She is obviously a very ignorant person, who defines the term ugly american. Rest assured that we all are not as dim-wited as she is.

What do you mean 'there'? I didn't say that it was right for people (and I say people because saying they are Americans is a total generalisation and totally unfair) who don't know about cricket to vote. Yes...It does screw up the poll but get over it. My problem is with the way you handled it. Calling people names(I don't care when), and calling them ignorant Americans (people in America do play cricket just on a much smaller scale), and attacking them. Frankly, I don't think that you got your views over just because of the way you spoke to people. Read your article again. You said anyone who voted for an America cricket player needs a brain transplant. So yes, you did call people stupid. At times, I bet you voted for English players when in truth you know some of the South African cricket players could kick their arses. It's called nationalism. All I'm saying is that next time you have a problem with something, deal with it better than you did instead of attacking people. p.s. There isn't a thing wrong with cheerleading.

What's wrong w/ cheerleaders? I'm one.
Matt View Profile 31-Jan-02
Well I think that my article is still dead right and the ignorance of the people who voted America not even knowing they have a top 20 team are all ignorant (not stupid). BTW Kim I didn't reffer as Kelly as a nerd straight away it was just she got pi$$ed off when I called her a cheerleader, also I don't go on pages which have no interest to me so I think the good ol' patriotic Americans should visit sections they know more than the name about. There. :) ~~~~~Matt~~~~~

THANK YOU KIM! you said exactly what I wanted to say except better. For that, I going to add ou to my friends list!
Kim View Profile 26-Jan-02
Okay...Matt, Calm down....Breath in an out. I've read some of you previous posts and I don't really see much intelligence coming from your side (I'm referring to your ignorant comments on the 'gender preference' forum-quick to judge, quick to anger). Before you start going on about what a stupid yank I am...I'm South African. I know a lot about cricket (I'm not talking world class knowledge but I know how everything works, I like watching certain games,certain players, I know cricket generally etc). It pains me to say that I agree with you to a certain extent. Yes, I believe that some people don't think before they press 'America' on the poll because they don't know anything about cricket. That irritates me too. I think it has something to do with nationalism/patrotism. That doesn't make people stupid. I doubt that their priorities are to please you, or anyone else here. That doen't mean you have to go attacking people (and a whole country) because you have pre judged them as nerdy (and Kelly, I doubt you're anything close to that), and stupid (America). Yes, a lot of Americans are stupid...So are English people...So are South Africans...So are Australians. Every country has stupid people. Why don't you just say what you feel without jumping down people's throats? I bet you that you tick of the English players or 'England' first as well(I'm assuming you're English). The point is...That yes...it screws up the poll but get the hell over it and stop generalising. Lauren...I cannot believe you went anywhere near September 11th..That was low. I'm pretty disgusted.

My country can pull together fine thank you very much, I don't think that 20 000 self absorbed American firefighters (mostly volunteers) would ever travel up to 2000 miles (maybe more) to fight fires in another state without pay, just to save a few lives. And hey the only reason the U.S was attacked was because you interfere (including wars) too much with other countries policies so don't think your heroes because you get involved in wars, your only killing your own people anyway. Oh and the reply page sometimes misses some of the letters i type, i can spell September perfectly fine actually, SEE. By the way, Indonesia has probably lost more people due to terrorism then the U.S has so look at the bigger picture and look beyond your oh so grassy green pastures (that actually are falling apart). And you people probably haven’t EVER heard any news coming beyond your shores unless it directly involves the U.S.
Serenity View Profile 25-Jan-02
Hey If I were you I wouldn't go there!!!! Learn how to spell SEPTEMBER before you type it! I'm totally speechless that you had the guts to say that. Sept.11 was one of the worst days of our lives. Thousands of people were inncocently killed (probably cause of cold-hearted dirtbags like you!) Firemen died saving others lives, little kids lost both parents, Mothers and Daddys lost both kids. Man, have a freakin heart! Where ever the heck you're from, I bet your country couldn't pull togther like our has.How come every time were in a freakin' war, guess who 's the first to be there, America. You say that can you? No, I did'nt think so. If it wasn't for those freakin Americans, some of this world would be like living in Hell. You come over here and say the things you wrote, and someones will beat the snot out of you. But you don't have the nerve.

You F*CKING idiot Serenity or whateva the f*ck your name is. Matt was talking exactly about d!ckheads like you thinking that your gods gift to life and everything else and even though you (and 99% of americans) wouldn't have the slightest f*ucking clue what cricket was, you still went ahead and voted you were the best at it producing the best players. The last time i checked, america wasn't the world rugby champions or, netball, soccer, rugby union, cricket, AFL(aussie rules), galelic football + MANY MANY more. Oh and if america was so f*cking great you wouldn't have been atacked in september your pride stuck wankers

(well, everyone except matt. turns out he's not so smart after all.) so basically, you don't care what i say and i don't care what you say either. and that's the beauty of it. so i'll be the bigger person and just drop the crap right now. ok? the end.

i know you'll hate me for this, but i somewhat agree with Kelly (and not just because we have the same name:) i don't think it's right that she threw a hissyfit at you, but i do think that some of what you people wrote is wrong. I agree, not all americans are college material but let's face it, EVERY country has it's idiots. you just don't have to bash an entire culture because of it. that's all.

Kelly 27-Dec-01
first of all, i'm not a jerk. i'm not a dumbass either. look at the way you wrote your article. now i agree, i'm from america and i don't know the first thing about cricket. I never said i did. but when you insult someone, what do you expect them to do? now i realize you're all defensive because i had an opinion that was different from yours but it doesn't mean you should be so close-minded to people just because they think differently than you. and besides, i'm over it. why don't you guys get over it.

the only thing the poll proved was that dumb@sses like you care way too much about a sport and that the only way for you to feel good about yourself is to put others down. i'm not stupid, conceited, or naive. maybe you're just stubborn and stereotypical. hmm???
Lauren 19-Dec-01
I think the whole point of the poll was to see how conceited, stupid and naive Americans really are because that’s certainly what it proved anyway.

matt, you're just a plain jerk. you are so inconsiderate to people's feelings. maybe they DO think the USA has the best team. hello? the whole point of a poll is to get opinions dumb@ss.
Kelly 17-Dec-01
half a brain? wow, you sound smart. i was saying that maybe people just pick an option and they don't even give a f*ck. i'm on the cricket page to get points. why the hell else would i be here? not to harrass people either. that's obviously your job.

They obviously had to go down the list and find America...shows how conceited you are...

yeah, why don't you b!tch about how dumb 80% of the people on this website are. maybe nobody f*cking cares about your dumb @ss cricket sports so they just voted for anything. and who says only americans voted for the u.s. YOU are the one that needs a f*cking head check. stereotypical bastard.

Read my article below (the cricket main poll), i spotted the problem B4 you did, but i do agree. Oh and Australia (and many others) is a FAR better side then England will ever be if they keep playing the way they do.
