@ravage

So your approach is to not address what I say, and insist that the ‘simple fact remains’ because you say it does rather than it following from what you say. Fine. I’ll accept that as my victory.

the basis of your argument is that some commentators routinely say so, which, even if it was a good argument (which it is not), is nonsense. you have now shifted to some generic notion of “build” instead of muscularity. wasn’t pakistan’s fastest ball bowled by muhammad sami? by any metric, he had the build of a teenage boy - short and skinny. how can malinga bowl at 150kph at a similarly small size? the reality is that even a small guy like mohammad sami will still grow up trying to be imran khan and a large 6’2 yuvraj will still grow up trying to be tendulkar.

your reference to “temperament” couldn’t have been anything but a joke so will ignore. diet? we have already rubbished the muscularity argument so this meat-eating angle is irrelevant. honestly these guys were probably not in a position to afford meaningful amounts of beef on a consistent basis, which is why it hasn’t shown up on their physiques.

A personal attack isnt a literal attack.

and the zucchini isn’t a fruit. so what? let’s leave strawmen out of this.

It is simply a reference to a person’s background when debating him. But seeing as you have no other answers its understandable.

read what you write before posting it. “ad hominem” and “ad hominem attack” are not interchangeable. if you don’t see a distinction between personal reference and personal attack then i don’t know what to tell you. i simply referenced a fact that you have openly discussed. i apologize if you felt attacked, my intention was only to highlight the comical irony not to attack you. maaf karo.
