ICC Men's T20I Team of the Decade

[Mamoon]

Yep with an average pace of 70mph for bowlers.


On topic, either it was an Indian who selected this or someone who had too many sherry's over xmas.

Starc, Bumrah, Cummins, Archer, Rabada, Boult etc. all top pacers in the world play in IPL.

Perhaps they need to rope in lethal fast bowlers from Pakistan like Naseem, Hasnain, Irfan, Shinwari, Abbas, Sohail Khan etc. to raise the fast bowling standards of IPL.

Foriegners play in sorts of leagues, Indians only play IPL and their bowling is lame making it an overated league or should I say some Bollywood fun cricket.

Pakistanis dont need to play in the IPL to help the ave speed of brown people in the league.

IPL has nothing to do with the T20I team of the year but gives you another opportunity to get exicted over the country you really want to live in.

Indian bowling has been among the best in the world for many years now. Perhaps you need to use the world lame for Pakistani bowling where a 110 kph bowler is bowling with the new ball.

And almost no foreign fast bowler in his prime plays in PSL, the league with the worst standard of bowling.

Steyn played last year when he was finished and Archer played when he was a rookie. Fast bowlers in their prime do not consider this low budget PSL stuff worthy of their efforts.

 

[Rajdeep]

I think people are missing the point. When you pick T20 team you must consider the league cricket because most teams dont play their main players in T20 internationals unless its a major series like WT20. So you cant only pick players based on performance in international T20s and ignore the leagues.

Rashid Khan for example is easily the best spinner ever to play in this format irrespective of what his stats says in internationals. Any team in the world picking their T20 team would love to have him in their side. It dosent matter if Samuel Badri has won West Indies a T20 WC sometime but Rashid is simply a better spinner than Badri.

If international T20 is all that should have been taken into consideration then Marlon Samuels, Carlos Braithwaite, Sangakkara should also be there as all of them won the WT20 for their side. But it does not work that way.

I think its a balanced side picked by ICC.

 

[globalcitizen]

Clearly favouring the SENA teams here. Pathetic from the ICC.

AB has achieved nothing notable in T20I, but he's a legend in T20. If this was about selecting a team from domestic competitions, then I would have understood, but internationally, AB cannot be anywhere near the team with an average of 27.7. Granted that his strike rate is good, but he should not have been selected.

I also have my reservations about Bumrah and Rohit Sharma.

I'll let Rohit in because he's a very good batsman, but his stats aren't too compelling. He has centuries against England, South Africa, West Indies, and Sri Lanka, and that's really incredible.

Bumrah hasn't really left a good impression on me, because the likes of Gul were far better. I agree that nowadays, death over bowling is difficult, but if it's a team of the decade, surely the statistics should prevail.

Shoaib Malik could have contended but the middle order is already so excellent.

Leaving out Babar was criminal from the ICC.

How can you compare an out and out match winner like AB with Babar. keep in mind it’s fine to match numbers and all, but having those numbers coming in at 5 or 6 is insane. Any team will die for AB in their lineup!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I don’t know, I didn’t select the team.

That’s a bit of a convenient response! Offering explanations for every Pakistan related decision as far as these 3 teams (and the Wisden one, if I might add!) but you “don’t know” about the players that undeservingly made it?

 

[globalcitizen]

So people want Babar in place of Warner, finch, gayle or kohli. Are you out of your mind?
Any lower Babar is no good and everyone knows it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

And almost no foreign fast bowler in his prime plays in PSL, the league with the worst standard of bowling.

If you spent more time watching PSL instead of patting Indians on the back you may have noticed one of the fastest bowlers in the world today, Jofra Archer played in the PSL, the league actually helped to make his name. Besides we have a 17 year olf faster than 1 billion Indians. Perhaps you can email RSS to overturn the beef fan to produce fast bowlers.

 

[globalcitizen]

Mamoon man give it a break at least for today. Please explain to me why Rashid Khan is in there, that’s all I want to know. Forget Pakistan, I don’t care if none of our players made it.

Team deserved some one from an associate team. They don’t get to play the top teams often but Rashid is one feared bowler in t20 even by top teams

Who is the 17 year old faster than all Indian bowlers? Naseem Shah?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

How is Rashid feared by top teams if he hasn’t played against top teams?

Read my post again.

I mentioned Archer, and he played in PSL when he was not a big name. Once he shot to fame in 2019 he became out of budget for PSL franchises. They cannot afford him now.

Maybe he will play in PSL in the future along with Starc, Cummins, Rabada etc. when they will be 35+.

I have watched all PSL seasons and it is mediocre just like Pakistan cricket.

And Naseem is 19-20, not 17. Also, he is bowling at 82-83 mph at the moment. Moreover, he is absolute trash and averaged 70+ in Australia, England and soon New Zealand.

 

[Aman]

AB, Dhoni and Rashid shouldn't be in there.

 

[Aman]

So people want Babar in place of Warner, finch, gayle or kohli. Are you out of your mind?

Babar can easily be in there in place of AB.

AB hasn't done anything of note in T20Is.

 

[globalcitizen]

I am not sure about it if we are looking at T20 internationals.

AB averages 26 in the last 10 years. He has crossed 35 only 8 times in the last 10 years and half of them came against Eng. Eng hardly had best attacks in T-20.

I don't see how Ab can be included based on T20 International's output.

he was batting at 5 or 6 , so realistically that is a high average for that position
So according to you, who could have taken his place at 5?

 

[KingKhanWC]

PSL made Archer. Being around Pakistani pacers helped him a lot and the same goes for other top T20I bowlers such as Chris Jordan. But you are correct to say it's about money for many players, you think the likes of Starc, Cummins and Rabada enjoy going India for the hygeine and lentils? Even having so much money it's still an average league because most players are Indians. One of the reasons the Indians didnt like the Champions league format in T20s, Bombay Indians could get knocked out first round , far too upsetting for Modi.

 

[UzmanBeast]

How can you compare an out and out match winner like AB with Babar. keep in mind it’s fine to match numbers and all, but having those numbers coming in at 5 or 6 is insane. Any team will die for AB in their lineup!

I love comments like these.

AB has shown no match-winning in T20I from his statistics.

People over here are underestimating the fact that having a 50 average run machine is also a way of winning matches.

Look at every time Babar hasn't performed, we have lost. He is a true match winner, but the player you are refering to is the player who changes the game. The game-changer. I'll give that to AB because he's a stellar player, but the fact remains that this is a Twenty-20 INTERNATIONAL team, not a T20 team, meaning that IPL stats don't count.

The fact that he made it into the team on the back of those poor stats is just utterly confusing. In the decade alone Babar has scored about 600 more runs than AB in less matches, and you talk about "match-winning".

AB does not deserve to be on this T20I team, it has to be filled with players who actually merit a spot based on INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES IN THE TWENTY 20 FORMAT.

You say that those are good numbers for a guy who comes in at no. 5, 6, etc. However, AB has played 54 out of 76 games batting at 3 and 4. Those are awful numbers for a no.3 and 4 batsman to even be considered in the T20I team. Kohli is perhaps the best no.3 in the world and look at the difference between the two in terms of average and just overall consistency.

Curious to know what you think after that.

Remember, Babar averages 50.93 with a SR of 130 and his lowest average is against SL with 15.8. The next lowest is New Zealand at 47. That's the player we are talking about. He's the only player along with Virat Kohli to average above 50 in T20I with a minimum of 42 innings. Of course, I'm not saying that he's better than Kohli, that's not true. I'm saying that his stats are so good to be compared with the likes of modern legends like Kohli.

 

[waleed88]

Of course it is. IPL, along with WT20, is the highest form of T20 cricket in the game. It is basically to T20 cricket what WSC was to Test cricket.

IPL stats should either be included in T20Is stats or should have its own category. It shouldn’t be grouped together with other franchise T20 stats.

Lets add the stats of Ranjhi Trophy and Cricket 19 on Playstation while you're at it.

 

[globalcitizen]

Babar can easily be in there in place of AB.

AB hasn't done anything of note in T20Is.

So you need Babar at 5 or 6 ? Do you really think he can score at 150 strike rate coming there and hit sixes at will? If you think yes then that’s something new and also Pakistan is playing Babar at wrong position then!

 

[KingKhanWC]

And Naseem is 19-20, not 17. Also, he is bowling at 82-83 mph at the moment. Moreover, he is absolute trash and averaged 70+ in Australia, England and soon New Zealand.

He was 17 when he first burst on the scene, he was still growing but had more than any IPL Indian bowler. He would wreck havoc against the rockster if he played in the league. He is purposley bowling at a lower pace but if only those who have played cricket would understand this. By the end of his career he will have rattled plenty of top batsmen in this format and will be remembered more than your hero Ashis Nehra, what a strong boy he was lol.

 

[Ucdkee]

So people want Babar in place of Warner, finch, gayle or kohli. Are you out of your mind?
Any lower Babar is no good and everyone knows it.

So you mean to say that a top icc ranked player in t20 who had been at no1 for a considerable time does not deserve a place in icc's own t20 team? Then what is the criteria to get selected? Please explain how it makes sense to you...

 

[Minnowbasher]

ahem umar gul
Best t20 ranked bowler of all time
average of 16.97 compared to bumrahs 20.25
2 fifers compared to bumrahs 0
85 wickets in 60 matches compared to bumrahs 59 wickets in 50 matches.
IPL team of the decade looks like.

and yet we all know that once Rashid Lhan plays for his country they'll do well to beat Zimbabwe and Nepal...

Sorry but the icc team is a complete joke.

 

[Minnowbasher]

Babar should be in there ahead of chris gayle. Other than the odd innings here and there he was rubbish.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Despite these numbers honestly Bobby has still bit to go to be on equal footing as Ab. Ab has played mostly against quality teams. Let's see how Babar fares in the next two T20 WC since that will be the real test.

16 50s in just 42 innings that too in T20 format is not a joke. Kohli has 25 50s in 79 innings. AB Devilliers didn't deserve to be in this team.

 

[IMMY69]

You have to be a complete dimwit to compare IPL or any league results with those of international T20's..

 

[Ucdkee]

Someone in icc is definitely as intelligent as misbah...

“PSL made Archer” )

Yes it sure did. Bowling alongside Junaid, Rahat, Irfan, Shinwari, Sohail, Imran Jr. made Archer the bowler he is today....

As I say, when it comes to being delusional, Pakistani fans have no competition.

Chris Jordan has been a quality T20 bowler even before PSL existed.

Of course players play in IPL for money. They are professionals and they get paid for their services.

Hardly any player will play international cricket for free either. If board stops paying money to players hardly any board will be able to field an XI.

India is one of the elite sides in the world today. Having a lot of Indians in a league doesn’t lower its quality, but having a lot of Pakistanis certainly does, because we are a small, weak and mediocre cricket nation now, and most of the players coming through our system are rubbish.

CLT20 format didn’t work because IPL sides are too strong compared to others, that is an IPL team won 4 out of 6 tournaments that were played.

The non-IPL matches didn’t attract viewers and players were opting to play for IPL franchises over the franchises of their countries that they play for in their country’s league.

It was quite embarrassing for their country’s board.

Brett Lee opted to play for KKR instead of Sydney and Pollard opted to play for Mumbai instead of Trinidad.

If t20 rankings is criteria, then just pick the t20 top 11 and be happy. A team of decade is picked in terms of having most impact and can be a outright match winning team.
Babar position in team was 1,2 or 3, but there are other players who have played through out decade and better match winning credentials.
Warner debut in 2009, gayle in 2006 and kohli in 2010, finch in 2010, Babar in 2016

No he wasn’t. He made his debut last year in Australia and he was 19 then.

If Naseem gets picked in IPL he will get smashed like no tomorrow. He is a nothing bowler.

He will be history in a few years and no one will remember his name, while the Indian bowlers that you are mocking will end up with better careers.

One can already say with full confidence that someone like Siraj will have a better career than him and he is already outperforming him in Australia.

Pakistani pacers are busted tyres. They have all the hype around them but they are mostly one season wonders after which they either get injured or lose the plot completely. Hardly any pacer in years has had longevity.

Why are you so transfixed with Barbar?
What about Maxwell? What is he doing in the side?
What about the best ever T20 World Cup winning captain? Sammy?

One of the best bowlers and sloggers in Afridi?
Are you seriously going to say that Rashid Khan is better then Afridi during the first half of the decade?

The eleven selected by the ICC is outrageous

 

[globalcitizen]

16 50s in just 42 innings that too in T20 format is not a joke. Kohli has 25 50s in 79 innings. AB Devilliers didn't deserve to be in this team.

Dhoni did not deserve to be there. AB had to be as most impactful lower order bat and can also keep effectively

'IPL sides are too strong' ) Which is why Indians were scared to invite Pak teams for the first few tournaments. The point was they dont care about India, the Indians, it's land , food or dopey actresses but to take easy money esp for bastmen coming up against medium pacers who spin the ball more than seam it.

You watch more IPL than even Modi, so please do list me 6 young fast bowlers , Indians who will take over the world?

 

[KingKhanWC]

No he wasn’t. He made his debut last year in Australia and he was 19 then.

Bursting on the scene is not making a debut.

Sure name me 6 young faster bowlers than him from the IPL of Indian origin?

 

[IMMY69]

What about Sangakara???

More you look at it the more laughable it looks.
ICC panel should be sacked

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

[Dhoni did not deserve to be there.[/b] AB had to be as most impactful lower order bat and can also keep effectively

Yes. That is why I said it looks more like an IPL team of the decade because if I am not wrong Dhoni's team won that pyjama league couple of times and that is why ICC chose him as a captain of their T20I team. He hasn't done anything special as a T20I captain/player from 2010-2020.

 

[Mamoon]

Bursting on the scene is not making a debut.

Sure name me 6 young faster bowlers than him from the IPL of Indian origin?

Where did he burst? In his backyard?

Why 6? You can look at all 38 Indian FC sides and you will find a better bowler than him in each and every side.

If Naseem was in India he would not even be on the bench.

Among current Pakistani crop, Shaheen is the only bowler who will get a sniff in the Indian team, and that too in white ball cricket only.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Being a Pakistani doesn’t mean I have to be delusional and live in perpetual denial. I have no problem admitting that we are rubbish and India is now miles ahead of us in all departments in all formats.

Yes, IPL sides were scared of Faysal Bank T20 sides and now they are scared of PSL sides.

Similarly, the Indian team is scared of the Pakistan team.

As I keep saying, when it comes to being delusional......

I was replying to some one about Babar so obviously had to reply with stats.
About Rashid I agree it can be debated but I think ICC was trying to honour someone from associate team
Regarding maxwell again it’s debatable but it’s the impact I guess. Afridi played his last game in 2015 and had bigger impact in 2000 to 2010 so again debatable
Sammy might have won 2 world cups but his individual contribution was nothing and all to do with the team they had

Dhoni had to be surely out because he dint have any impact

 

[KingKhanWC]

I dont watch Indian cricket , you do. So name 6 young Indian pacers faster from the top of your head? Shouldnt be difficult since 38 sides would have over 100 to choose from.

6 names?

 

[IMMY69]

What would be your T20 team of the decade?

Well Windies won the cup twice and Lanka won it once...
So I'd definitely have Sangakara in as keeper and Samy as all rounder and captain.

Afridi would find a place as the spinner/lower order hitter.
Morgan would be in the middle order

Opening up would be Warner and Sangakara.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yes, IPL sides were scared of Faysal Bank T20 sides and now they are scared of PSL sides.

Similarly, the Indian team is scared of the Pakistan team.

As I keep saying, when it comes to being delusional......

They are scared of the Pak Int team today too, no other reason for not wanting to play. After their CT humiliation, the biggest defeat in finals history, it makes sense for India not wanting such a beating again.

PSL teams are much stronger than Bank sides were. Our batsmen will find easy work against Indian pace spinners.

 

[Mamoon]

Can you prove you're a Pakistani? Its a cheap way to make points, pretend to a Pakistani and defend India like a dog defends a bone.

You can take it up with the mods. They can see my IP address and as far as I know, there is no VPN that mimicks a Pakistani IP address.

Moreover, I have interested with posters on TP and can share things about my home city and country that you wouldn’t find on the Internet.

I am more Pakistani than you can hope to be. At least I live in the country. You are just a British Pakistani with identity crisis. You are neither British nor Pakistani.

Anyway, these posts are likely to be deleted now.

They are scared of the Pak Int team today too, no other reason for not wanting to play. After their CT humiliation, the biggest defeat in finals history, it makes sense for India not wanting such a beating again.

PSL teams are much stronger than Bank sides were. Our batsmen will find easy work against Indian pace spinners.

They came to UAE for the Asia Cup after PSL and demolished Pakistan twice without Kohli.

Amir, Shaheen and Hasan got carted around by Rohit and Dhawan.

The current Indian team has played the current Pakistan team 5 times and they have won 4 matches. That sums up the gulf between the two sides.

If India and Pakistan play 10 matches in each format, India would win 8 or 9.

 

[KingKhanWC]

But after CT finals, we played 3 times and all the 3 games were one sided victory for India. Have you not watched them?

So why are you lot not wanting to play us? Most Indians will never forget the humilation you suffered in the CT final, no team has been humilated in such a way in a final in the history of cricket.

 

[Darkrai]

Well, maybe this decade will be better for us.

We know about your predictions lol.

Name me 6 Indian young faster bowlers than Nassem?

 

[Mamoon]

Mods dont reveal and anyone can google anything about a country or area.

I dont think you are a Pakistani, you supported India in Feb 19. So stop pretending it's pathetic.

As I said, I can tell you things about my hometown that you will not find on Google in a billion years. I can also share pictures that you will not find anywhere on the internet. If you are interested we can play this game one day.

I didn’t support India in Feb 19. My stance was clear - if Pakistani will keep funding and supporting terrorist outfits who act in J&K, you cannot blame the Indian government for trying to take matters into their own hands.

The way they botched the attack and ended up killing trees and a poor crow is a different issue.

 

[Mamoon]

If the Asia Cup didn’t happen and I would have told you that India will thump Pakistan twice without Kohli, you would have never believed me in a million years. That is why I keep saying Pakistani fans are extremely delusional.

Give me a day and I will name you 38 better bowlers than Naseem. All I need to do is look at the squad of each Indian FC team.

India is a top team. It is very easy for them to produce better bowlers than someone who averages 70+ with the ball in Australia, England and now soon New Zealand.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

IPL is of a higher standard than bilateral T20I's and there is data out there to prove if one would only look. That said, I'm not sure what that has to do with this thread. Is this because no Pakistani made it to the lineup? Lol.

 

[Rajdeep]

I am amazed you are still asking this question after so many years.

 

[globalcitizen]

The fact that this thread has 100 plus posts shows how much t20 means to Pakistan. That itself is a sad state of Pakistan cricket.
No one is even challenging other teams. Hope next decade gets better for Pakistan cricket

lol one day? Just name 5 then from the top of your head. Why are you struggling ? lol

 

[Buffet]

he was batting at 5 or 6 , so realistically that is a high average for that position
So according to you, who could have taken his place at 5?

Nah, he has batted higher plenty of times. He simply did not score in T20 internationals despite having all the skill for it.

 

[ethan hunt]

Msd was legit one of the worst t20 international batsmen.

Ipl sides were huffing and puffing against lahore lions without any foreigners..This is such a laughably silly assumption.

 

[Rana]

Where did he burst? In his backyard?

Why 6? You can look at all 38 Indian FC sides and you will find a better bowler than him in each and every side.

If Naseem was in India he would not even be on the bench.

Among current Pakistani crop, Shaheen is the only bowler who will get a sniff in the Indian team, and that too in white ball cricket only.

Can you list the 38 please

They don't have a 10 team T20 league though.

 

[obaidshariq]

That is a ridiculous thing to say. Makes no sense at all.

Not interested in trolling anyone. My point is that IPL does not deserve to be clubbed together with its low budget imitations like PSL, BBL, CPL, LPL, T20 Blast etc.

It is a completely different beast.

 

[Manzy2599]

This is a IPL t20 team. Babar should’ve been in place for AB de villers. He’s mainly performed in IPL. Umar Gul should’ve been in place for pollard as he could hit big aswell. Afridi should’ve been there instead of Rashid khan who’s played only 8 matches against top t20 sides.

 

[JaDed]

Guess posters only care about T20 teams now.. and then we say other formats are losing popularity..

There were a few pace bowlers outside of those already in the team who's record put forward a better claim for a position than Guls.

 

[Ab Fan]

Anyone who think IPL is not bigger than the irrelevant bilateral T20 can resort to this thread as this will clarify all their doubts.

T20I count for nothing and they are zilch as the format is all about your skills, legacy and reputation and that's why guys like AB, Gayle, Rashid and MSD were bound to be picked. You can hit a like button or dislike button but that doesn't change anything. Maybe it will change in future but not now. All these names are by far among the best T20 players of this generation.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

This looks more like the IPL T20 Team of the decade lol.

Yeah, agree with you on this, that's why a fraud t20i player like MS Dhoni is there.
In last decade he lost 4 t20 world cups as a captain and has a strike rate of 127 batting at no.6

 

[Mamoon]

That is a ridiculous thing to say. Makes no sense at all.

IPL is the only league where 99% of the top contemporary players play together.

In no other league would you see Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, Warner, Smith, Cummins, Williamson, Boult, de Villiers, Rabada, de Kock, Buttler, Stokes, Archer, Bairstow etc. playing together at the same time.

Only IPL has the resources to provide this experience. Of course it is a different beast compared to low budget imitations and should not be compared to them.

 

[Third_Umpire]

Some scathing posts by Mamoon in this thread and not surprised at all to see posters take the bait In fact I even see another whole thread created based on this one!

You have not lost your touch IFC Bhai even after all these years!

 

[liam26]

An average of 27-30 for a middle order batsman is not bad. Don't know why people are expecting 50 average from AB. AB is even better than Kohli when they play for the same side in the IPL. Having said that Dhoni hasn't been anything exceptional in T20 Internationals but he won the first T20 WC as a captain and is also a wicketkeeper so that Wk + Captain combination gives him a spot in the T20 team.

Yeah, agree with you too. I hope Pant can help India win one T20 World Cup at least. Currently he averages 20 with a strike rate of 122. But wait is he even in the T20 team these days?

Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his disapproval with ICC T20I Team of the Decade after Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was left out of the list. According to 'Rawalpindi Express', the governing body of cricket announced the Indian Premier League XI rather than the shortest format World team. Pakistan players did not find any spot in ICC Team of the Decade across all formats including women cricketers.

"I think ICC forgot that Pakistan is also a member of ICC and they also play T20I cricket. They did not pick Babar Azam, who is currently the number one batsman in the ICC T20I rankings (ranked no. 2 in T20I batting rankings). They did not pick a single player from Pakistan in the team. We don't need your (ICC) T20I Team of the Decade because you announced the IPL team, not a world cricket team," Akhtar said on his official YouTube channel.

The veteran pacer further openly criticised the working of ICC and claimed that the organisation is ruining the game for money.

"ICC only thinks about money, sponsorships and TV rights. They introduced two new balls and three powerplays (in the ODI cricket). Where is Dennis Lillee, Jeff Thomson, big five of West Indies, Wasim (Akram) and Waqar (Younis)? Where are the world's fastest bowlers and leg-spinners? They went away because ICC commercialised and materialised cricket so much and allowed ten leagues to earn more revenue," Akhtar said.

"They just want two World Cups in three years and leagues.....There is a big difference between today's cricket and in 70's cricket. If there is no Sachin vs Shoaib then what's the point of watching cricket? There is no big player than Babar Azam in T20I. He is a top-scorer for Pakistan and his averages show what he has done for the country, even in comparison with Virat Kohli. It is so embarrassing and I'm sure after this video they will think that they have to announce the World Team of the Decade, not the IPL team," Sohaib concluded.

Earlier in the day, ICC included Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, and Jasprit Bumrah in its T20I Team of the Decade. Dhoni has also been named as the skipper of the ICC's T20I Team of the Decade.

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com
In the team, four players are from India, two are from Australia, two from West Indies, one from Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Afghanistan.

ICC's T20I Team of the Decade: Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell, MS Dhoni (wk/capt), Kieron Pollard, Rashid Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, and Lasith Malinga.

Umar Gul and Babar Azam easily get in to this side.

To be honest a very sad philosophical approach to life if the primary theme is to spend it baiting fans of a team they love for attention.
