England or India...?

Question

Who has the better users in this forum :P?

Answer 1

From England, there are some great users here- JPeeling, you, The Oracle and Kinney.

From the Indians, I can't point one great user here after Montitude left. There are some average to good ones, but none can be called great. Adarsh and CJ were doing very good jobs at some time or some other, but they too seem away.

Edit : If only I raised some doubts, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deny the fact that Adarsh and CJ were great users here when they were regular.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that either country has the better users. I think each has great contributors just as each has users that will grate on the nerves.

If that sounds like I'm being overly pragmatic then I am. Lol.

Answer 3

England..They have they brains of you-Kinney,JPeeling,The Oracle and you guys are also very friendly too..

You can see the weaknesses with in your team,you are not scarred to say you were beaten by the better team on the day and you defiantly do not abuse the other supporters like a few of the Indian supporters do(And i did say FEW,not all)...

I Think you Pom's are great guys(and girls)....♥

Answer 4

England in proportion

India in quantum.

Answer 5

Indian users outnumber the English users. Kokee your great! You always post interesting questions and make this section smarter. To be honest, I don't know any other English user besides you, so I will go with India :P. Sorry, it's a little biased.  

Enjoy your day =]

Answer 6

Hey I'm Indian, and so I will have to say England users are better (after all, you can't sing your own praises :P)

Really, I like many users here and many people seem to be very intelligent.  I would like to mention Trio, Kinney (my friend), and Rehman from Multan.  I very much admire Rehman...he's Pakistani.

Answer 7

india

Answer 8

If yu are talking about knowledge than its England

If yu are talking about behavior, they are both good behavior wise

Answer 9

Dear Kookee,

Good evening !

EDIT: At the very begining I should admit on what a great contributor you have been since my entry here , I think sometime late last year..It was the christmas holidays, the only time one can really put up ones feet here. I got to meet some really good friends here....However, comparison of ones friends is never good. I have many anecdotes to share that will make you agree. I have tried to restrict myself to cold facts, with an explanation of how some good individuals are so completely missed in the comparison. These people some of who have a very low profile ( I repeat some)..happen to be Indian. Oher contributors have made this section great, I have endeavoured to include those who were missed by the others.

Cont..............

Both are good. When I say this it would be a comparison between the best among the users of the two countries. Better is a comparative term and to make a judgment you would need to judge many facets of contribution. Since many users here have spoken about English users I would wish to highlight some really good contributors from India.

First of all, our beloved Tadeeb bhai is among the very best. He has both an in-depth understanding of the game as well a good knowledge of its history. As a contributor he is unbiased and decent. He is truly among the best in this forum.

Secondly, I cannot fathom how you guys could forget Vakayil. A truly great contributor to this section. He has an amazing knowledge of the game. He always responds with solid facts. Since many of you guys repeat the name of JPeeling , he must be good, but I debate that Vakayil has been consistently good and more visibly so.  Sorry friends, you asked for a comparison and so I am giving it. No hard feelings.

When I first joined this forum, I found Asif an equally good contributor. The very same applies to him in terms of his behaviour.

Montitude of India is a very good contributor. I know I may recieve some td's for speaking for him, but, undoubtedly he has great knowledge and passion for the game.  

There are some users who are really great but have a low profile. They are far more intelligent than people give them credit for.

Incredible Indian is one such user. From his answers I know he is one sharp individual and very polite as well. He reads carefully between the lines and can negotiate most of my googlies. I am sure he knows one particular question...a simple one..but everybody except him got it wrong !

Not to forget some other really sharp guys. they come here sometimes but they are really very intelligent: Prince (the guy knows French) and Ding dong. Well, you may not even know who they are but, trust me I know how to spot real sharp guys.

My friends, how on earth can anybody ignore Mithrandir!! Do any of you ever read his stuff?? He is very knowlegeable and a really fantastic user. He has a great gift for words. I always look forward for both his questions and answers and anything he has to say. On a personal note I am happy to have him as my friend.

My opinion : OZ is a really interesting individual and has made this forum funny and interesting. Because I hardly got to read his answers (becuase of the time difference and deletions), I couldnt judge him. However, now I believe he is a really intelligent guy. Oh yes, trust Rehman on that. He should be great in any forum. I do not think anybody from any country in this forum can match him in his uniqueness.

I disagree with a previous answer, CJ is truly a great user here. I have him in my contacts so I know that he is great and has many diverse interests. His questions are among the most thought provoking ones. Truly a deep thinker.

There are a few others who I know personally because of their low profile you may not know them. One such person is Manu. A strightforward and sincere individual who has a deep passion for cricket.

Amit is definitely a great contributor and is in par with all the excellent users from England who have all the facts and figures with them. You guys can only find out who is better by taking a test. All this is wrt to knowledge of facts only. Earlier, when I was more frequent here I have seen him posting answers to questions on factoids much earlier than anybody else. So he must be good.

I would like to mention Ravii as a fantastic contributor from India. I mention her because for some reason she has been copping too much hate here. Although she is but a little girl she respects all people and religions. If good people are persistently rubbed the wrong way one should not expect the best from them, why should she be any different?

Adarsh, is also one of my favourites in this section. Unfortunately I dont see him much.

There was a guy with "peanuts" symbol..I think Snoopy..who was very good I dont see him these days.

The person from England who is truly excellent in many respects ...is Oracle, he combines a deep knowledge of the game with passion for it. In addition, he seems to be a well read individual. Besides that, he is very intelligent and a peoples person. This combination makes him my favourite English contributor. No offence to you Kookee, I do admire your knowledge for the game, but, if you would truly ask me for a well rounded comparison I would have to factor in various other points.

Finally, its a shame if people forget to mention Sarah, and acknowldge what a great contributor she has been. She has answered most of my practical cricketing questions very nicely with many vignettes from her personal experience. I always look forward for her answers to these questions. She is one of my favourites in this section.

thank you

Rehman of Multan

EDIT@: Off to bed my last one!

Answer 10

If you count number of users and the real good ones among them (ration of better users), England will outmatch India. The main aspect is there are fewer English users, but almost everyone has the passion for cricket and are knowledgeable. But the lion share of Indian users are concupiscent about their country, and have inadequate knowledge about cricket itself. So the real goods one are inconspicuously hidden or only known to some quarters of this section as good users.  

Answer 11

being open and honest about it, and note that its hard to say this, but it has to be England, and by the length of the straight its England, englands selectors seem to be more open to opinions different to there own (unless its whether Vaughn or Ponting was a better captain, i guess we cant have that argument anymore hey Kook lol) and are willing to accept them, all you ever hear from alot (now do not get me wrong, not all indian users as there are some very good indian users in here) of indian users in here is about Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sachin, Dravid, and why india are either the greatest or cant win a game. its the same thing all the time in here, and lets be honest certain users have a positive and negative effect on my opinion

Answer 12

Rehman bhai has gave a very detailed & observative description(analysis) of most of the users. So I would just like to add one thing- well I don't compare myself to anyone, but I am serious when I say this, Indian users are being mis-judged here, but there's no solution if someone makes "intentional-misjudgement". Think about it, deeply.

& btw from England,

JPeeling just gives "statistical" answers with research.

You give a debate provoking self centred "view" (mostly)

whos' left, ohh....

The Oracle- he's one serious thinker from "all" aspects

Still, not comparing but I think Indian users are more "versatile" (hope I'm not thought to be arrogant when I say I'm one of them)

Answer 13

everyone has own opinions/judgements/prejudices

it depends on your definition of good/bad

"what is one person's food,maybe poison for others"

i know many good users here, like"Ravii", u etc, if (if i have to judge based on my prejudices)

Answer 14

England.

Answer 15

OK ..india ....yep i'm on the run now :)..:P

Answer 16

all are good, thanks to England for leaving India in Aug 1947 !

today is our 61st independence day ~

anyways, england has some great users here, but bit obsessed with english and asutralian cricket, indians are more open and flexible, just an opinion!

god bless!

best regards!

Happy independence day to all Indian bros and a tribute to all freedom fighters!

Answer 17
