Watching some of the comments about Starc has been quite hilarious and really eye opening.
They certainly have been eye opening. For you. I've refuted every argument you've thrown at me regarding Starc in the match threads but you still can't get past your blind hate. So now you're adopting cheap tactics like speaking in generalities instead of being specific, or building up straw men.
There's a weird perception of Starc from some people that he's some smart, incredible bowler who turns it up to 150km and has oppositions scared.
That's the straw man. I've never said this and noone else on BF during this Ashes series has. Finally an argument about Starc that you can dismantle. Only because it's one devised by yourself. Then again, I'm not sure you've even achieved that. Lets have a closer look at what you thought was a clever dismantling of this straw man argument that you cobbled together yourself.
Truth is he's a dumb bowler in the longer format who people thought would continue to improve and turn into peak Johnson.
Generalities. Subjective opinion. Nothing specific. Strike rate? Nah ... don't want to talk about that. Leading wicket taker last time we toured England? Nah. He's just dumb. Your argument ....... is what's dumb.
He's nearly 30 and won't be long before his speed suffers and then he'll have zero to offer the format.
The zenith of your dismantling of your own crappy Straw Man argument. He'll soon be slow .... I hope. Then i can really justify why i hate him. Pathetic.
Edit: I've noticed you might be coming around a little, having liked the post immediately before this one, which is defending Starc to a degree. If so, forgive the harsh tone.
