• Lol is one of the most common slang terms in electronic communications, used by all ages.

Hmmm.. its the most common used slang in electronic communications, google it if you don't believe me jackass.

& sticking up for a racist is poor form.

A grown man doesn’t use LOL. Don’t use the racist card, it cheapens your argument

You’ve created a straw man argument. Poor form

The 747 posted racist comments which were deleted by admin. Regarding the LoL I'm sure I'm not the only grown man to use it, that's extremely incorrect.

I didn't create the argument regarding the use of LoL, you did.

I’m referring to the racist remark.

Me telling the guy not to argue with you has nothing to do with accusations of racism. You need to grow up.

I feel as though I'm debating this guy.

How I envision 80% of cricket board posters.

Conveniently misunderstanding me to suit your agenda or creating a Straw man argument to devalue my view? … either way you’re not the person to discuss anything rationally with.

This is what Ravi Ashwin had to say about Todd Murphy on his YouTube channel after the series.

"Nathan Lyon did pick up 20 wickets in this series. However, the pressure was built by other spinners too. Todd Murphy had a sensational debut series. You might wonder what is there to talk about Todd Murphy. This is his first tour to India. I remember many spinners' first tour to India.
"Nathan Lyon came here first in 2013. He went to Sri Lanka before that. Todd Murphy came here 10 to 50 times better than how Nathan Lyon came here on his first Test tour. I am not saying that he is a better bowler in terms of quality, skill, or performance. I am talking about his capacity and composure to be able to bowl around the stumps and over the stumps.

"In the Ahmedabad Test, Murphy bowled most of his overs from over the stumps. Until then, he was bowling around the stumps. But from both around and over, he looked equally comfortable. He was able to attack the stumps while bowling from around the wicket as well as over the wicket.
"Nathan Lyon's strongest feature is that he uses Mitchell Starc's footmark really well. He bowls the sixth-stump and seventh-stump line really well. That has been his bread and butter. That's how he has built his ten-year career.
"Because in a country like Australia, there won't be much happening for the spinners from the centre of the surface. He has to make things happen from the footholes only. His bowling, his pace, his trajectory and his body position are all attuned to that.
"Whereas Todd Murphy, being the current-generation spinner that he is, is attacking the stumps from over the stumps. He is also bowling from wide of the stumps. He is going from around the wicket and attacking the stumps. And he is also taking the odd ball away. He is not only bowling the fast back-of-the-length delivery but also has an odd slower one. That flight is definitely catching the batter by surprise. It's not that easy to go on the back foot and play him. So a lot of credit to Todd Murphy."

He went to Sri Lanka before that. Todd Murphy came here 10 to 50 times better than how Nathan Lyon came here on his first Test tour.

Murphy got much better bowling pitches though.

2012/13 1st Test seen 1st innings scores of 580 from India and 380 from Australia. 2nd Test seen 499 from India and 408 from Australia in the 1st Innings. 3rd Test was the bowling friendly one and Lyon got 7/94.

In short India hadn't transitioned to the rank turners from ball 1 yet.
