I'm going to ignore how creepy af it is that you googled my username and read posts from another forum for now, but remember when I told you one of your biggest issues was lack of self awareness? And that you accuse others of posting habits that you yourself actually exhibit to a far greater degree that the person you are accusing?
This whole "last word" is one of them. That's you you're describing champ. I doubt that I, or anyone on here, has ever "gotten the last word" in a debate with you.

I read to google it on user walls. It is pretty much already all over the forum. I was late on the scene, tbf.
I guess now you will say it is creepy to read user walls. If so - I am that creepy. Look at my sig

Click on anyone's profile (incl yourself). If you see messages on it, that is their user wall. You can view the conversation.
For instance yours has 2 comments from Harsh and PEWS about resident troll is the adult in the room.
And a message from Dan not to avoid the word censor.
"To google" is a verb, goto google.com and enter a search string aka phrase. Once complete, you have "googled" said search string or phrase.

A detailed explanation but I still don't understand how it all fits together. "I read to google it on user walls" doesn't really make sense.

Oh very mature, like your wall isn't stacked with messages.
Shri - if you want to just insult me like this, go for it.
There is no need to be rhetorical. I don't think it suits you.

Swimwear doesn't suit me either but if I want to swim, I gotta wear it.

Why? You went skinny dipping on the insult front with me several posts back.
Are you now feeling modest?
Don't. It's too late for that :P
I prefer Buttler, and I got a lecture on Dhoni's debut and called "jackass" "kiddo" and "drunk".
Up your game.

Dhoni's knock reminded me of my infamous 36 not out: Sunil Gavaskar

Mr. Miyagi, why can't you let a topic go dude? No need to have the last word and kill the thread. Make your point and let others make their points and let that be that, no? Heh. Each thread you enter becomes about you rather than the topic of the thread as you repeatedly keep arguing a gazillion times so that all other posts dwarf in comparison. You are Russia while we are all Croatia in terms of posts and thread mindspace. You know what though? Croatia won.

Well don't go burying your valuables everytime you hear Buttler vs Dhoni raised, because the way things are going, it is going to become a far more occurance and get louder:

It has only just begun if Buttler continues on the way he is going. It will get louder and louder.

Regarding Dhoni, I don't think it's up for debate that the man's power hitting skills are on the wane. Power hitting requires a great deal on reflexes, hand-eye co ordination, not to mention actual power generation, all of which are perishable skills. Dhoni's place in the side is however a different conversation.
There is a reason why Dhoni averages 50 and another 'celebrated' power hitter called Afridi averages 23. Afridi was just that- a power hitter, his batting did not really have much more to it and once his power hitting was on the wane, he really didn't have anything to contribute with the bat. Dhoni on the other hand is a full fledged LO batsman, who is also good at strike rotation, finding gaps and running between the gaps.
India have been looking for a number 4 in ODI cricket since before the World Cup 2015. Ravi Shastri as Team director actually put forward the idea of Dhoni batting at 4 after the World Cup in 2015. Nothing much came of it.
This is the solution right in front of India and they're not picking it. Promote Dhoni at 4. At 4 he will get to bat in the middle overs with Kohli at 3 (another excellent batsman in the middle overs who loves to rotate the strike) and more importantly, Dhoni will get the time that he now needs to get going. He can push it around the gaps for his ones and twos and take the game towards 35-40 overs and leave the power hitting to Hardik Pandya and Raina or some hitter from IPL.

Where did I argue for Dhoni or Butler in Dhoni v Buttler?
WHY ARE YOU REPEATING THIS TO ME? What the hell.

Ah yes, the "Buttler has been better than Dhoni since 2013" nonsense raising its ugly head again.
The same year when Dhoni was single-handedly pulling matches out of the fire for India and the almighty Bottler was buttling... err.. Buttler was bottling straightforward chases in CT finals.

Are you going to intentionally keep ignoring that everyone agrees that Buttler > Dhoni right now. This is not what people are arguing against.
This is approaching Blocky levels of intentional misdirection.

Okay, just go bury your Mr Miyagi dolls then. Clearly it was unrelated to me but just this thread you were reading that I had posted in.
