Perhaps there was one outcome with multiple causes? This can tend to happen in that strange complex phenomenon called life (and likewise cricket). It also allows people to have a clue what they were on about whilst not sharing your particular point of view.
Hahaha. Dude pace is the basic tool to swing the ball in the air.
You could alter just about anything in that Test and England would still never have won it if the number of drops remained the same. About the only chance England had of winning it with those drops would have been if the Lankans had started leaving straight deliveries.
You're so very, very wrong.
Umm... no... it's not. The basic tool to swing the ball is a good seam position and a cricket-ball in the right state. If you've got those, you'll swing the ball whatever speed you bowl at - 100kph or 160kph.
Yeah, hilarious, as always. I make exceptions, which often pertain to grecian's posts, so clueless do they regularly tend to be.
I guess so.
What if I told you I thought one of the reasons was England's poor decision to ask Sri Lanka to follow on in that match? Are you saying that played no part in the outcome?
No, don't think it did. They could have batted again and they'd still have failed to win if they dropped the same number of catches, I don't really think you could deny that?
I was just testing to see if you'd fall for the "enforced the follow-on" bait.
