Most of the guys who hate him are racist against beards but if my peoples were the only who lionise him then he wouldn't be playing Test cricket but no one in England has truly been able to replace him even when he is never given a consistent role so what he has accomplished is worthy of a hall of fame induction in England. I doubt you've ever showed any guts or heart to play cricket even at the club level. You don't know what it takes or have the cricketing IQ to grasp the legend of Moeen Ali who is in the top 7 or 8 all time list for most man of the match awards in England's long history, you only berate his legend because to keep childish feuds going with various posters.
First of all, you need to learn how to talk to people you don’t know.
I may or may not have guts and heart, but it is not your place to comment on it. You are no one to judge me. Similarly, I am no one to judge you because I don’t know you either.
As far as Moeen is concerned, no one doubts his commitment and courage. It takes a lot of dedication to reach the top level. In fact, someone like Moeen had to face even more challenges and obstacles because of his background.
However, once you donn the England jersey, you are going to be judged on your performance only, and Moeen has been nothing more than decent as a player.
You complain about Moeen not having a consistent role, but the reason for that is Moeen himself. He has been good at home but he bottles it overseas.
Whenever he has had a good home season and has cemented himself, he has let England down by performing shockingly on foreign tours.
In fact, Moeen has been quite honest about his weaknesses and was the first to admit that he deserved to be dropped in Australia.
The problem is with his rabid fans who want to put him on a pedestal and play the victim card. You might idolize him because of his story, but don’t expect everyone to do so.
That’s the major difference between him and Stokes. The latter has done much better away from home and that is why he is rated higher. Yes he has personality problems, but I am strictly talking about cricket here.
Every team in the world will choose Stokes over Moeen, and for good reason. The latter is not even the best spin all-rounder in the world - both Ashwin and Jadeja are better.
As a pure batsman, Moeen is much better than both. However, he has not performed to his abilities with the bat. Performance wise, the Indian duo have done well with the bat, and they are of course miles better with the ball.
You need to mature and not go on an incoherent tirade whenever someone objectively criticizes Moeen’s performance.
Don’t expect me to entertain your posts if you continue with the personal attacks. However, I am more than happy to discuss the merits of Moeen’s performance as a player within the borders of civility. It might be a challenge for you but not for me.
