Doesn't work because that is not what liberal bigots claim. They claim
that the average quality is better. RH

No they don't, I have never seen anyone on this group ever claim

We are not just talking about this group. Next! RH

O.K., give me a message-id for a post on another news group or a
concrete reference to something appearing in print that I can check.

Shall not pander to idleness. Get Googling. RH

(i) Yet again Robert runs away from a challenge.

(ii) It is you that has made a claim, it is for you to produce the
evidence to support this claim if you want anyone to believe you.

(iii) Googling will not uncover something that doesn't exist.

The point remains that you are willfully misrepresenting the "liberal
ots" at least on uk.sport.cricket, who make no such claim.

that. You asserted that they claimed this beause it was a corollary
of believing that they strengthen the side. Unfortunately for you the
corollary was the result of your innumeracy, and is quite mistaken.

I'm glad to see you are no longer trying to defend you innumerate
reasoning. It would show a greater degree of rationality if you also
admitted your error.

Oh well, worth a try.

All a liberal bigot wants is for the team to be selected on merit.

So Robert, do you admit that you can't supply a reference to someone
saying that "equivocal Englishmen" are better cricketers on average
than "unequivocal Englishmen"?

A Google search will not turn up such a quote for two reasons: (i) it
is too vague a topic to be able to define a sufficiently specific
query and (ii) it doesn't exist.

Go on Robert, prove me wrong!
