Whatever the hell Mitch had in his mouth in the dressing room, it looked like he was rolling a ciggy lol.

Watching Gilchrist bat made me feel physically ill. Warner seems a natural successor. Throw in Hayden, Jacques, Katich- Australian lefties are a blight on cricket.

Ah you're one of those...

 

[thierry henry]

Ah you're one of those...

People who prefer the aesthetics of some batsmen to others?

 

[thierry henry]

Seriously Heals just STFU

He means one of those that don't appreciate diversity in the game.

Hmmmm

I was going to try to argue this but I guess you sorta do have a point lol

I certainly find it very annoying when a guy who consistently looks (to me) as though he has NFI nevertheless consistently scores run

As do most. But you can't argue Katich or Gilchrist looked like they had 'no ****in idea'.

You're talking about mindless sloggers.

Massive lol @ Peter Roebuck.

Roebuck: This astounds me, why doesn't Ponting use his powerplay now?
Jim Maxwell: Because there's a bowling powerplay in place
Roebuck: ....oh

Compared to Chanderpaul, Smith and Ganguly, they are stylists

Tbh, it's harder to name a classical left-handed batsman these days

With Katich I actually just meant he is ugly to watch

With Gilchrist I certainly felt he looked like he had nfi. Never saw a guy get away with so many miss hit big shots.

When Marsh hit that last people in the office were like "Finally this guy decides to turn up" and one bloke commented "He's only in here because of his old man"

Hating on Shaun Marsh is so horrific.

Would seriously start something. Pathetic. Especially considering his series thus far and how Warner is dominating at the other end. Partnership anyone?

Smith and Chanderpaul look in control to me. Warner (and Gilchrist to me) just look like they are swishing merrily at everything with little regard for where it goes.

(yes, it's an exaggeration, but this is international cricket ffs. I do not feel comfortable with batsmen who seem to play so many shots that have no real "plan" to them.)

Warner may bat like a junior Jayasuriya and have zero experience but he's really got talent - the 2 sixes he's hit are as good as any shots you'll see

Convention stated that a mis-hit big shot would more often than not lead to a batsman's dismissal. Gilchrist proved that not necessarily true. The guy was a revolutionary!

How do you feel about Virender Sehwag?

Exactly

Also find Sehwag dire

Seriously, whenever I watched Gilchrist I just felt like an unluckier guy (i.e. anyone bar him) would've been out 10 times already

Why do people make mock posts like this so often? I understand the theory behind them (obviously), but who is actually typing like this? What's the point in a parody if you're not parodying anyone?

So basically you're sort of like PrinceEWS, and want batsmen to play with the same (or similar) techniques?
