If I was an international spinner and I was bowling as ****house as Patel is i'd be the first to admit it and would accept the justified criticism.

What do you want the selectors to say when they are next selecting a team? "Well...Jeets took 1/348 on this tour at 4rpo, but he tried his hardest so I think we should stick with him. In fact, lets stick with this XI for the next few years because they are doing the best they can".

You're living in magical fairy dream land where "doing your best" is good enough, i'm afraid that often isn't the case.

What sort of pathetic argument is this, because novice sports-fans on a cricket forum couldn't do better :laugh:

Think your missing the point massively

Mate, there's no need for that kind of abuse ok. I'd like to see u say this to his face.
Patel is bowling beautifully but he's just been unlucky. The fact is he's trying his best out there and he doesn't need this kind of abuse from arm chair critics.

Yup, sadly a mentality shared by too many New Zealander's in this day & age. That being...."we're all winners if we participate".

It all started when a few PC feminists decided to stop keeping the score at some school netball games a few years back.

Unfortunately there's a few that don't realise that this philosophy doesn't cut-it at the top level or in life in general.

I feel sorry for you 8-)

Have you never seen a decent off-spinner bowl before?

It's not really about abuse as much is it's about reality to be fair. A few NZ fans pointing out that he doesn't cut the mustard at this level, which is totally & utterly justifiable

Nothing more, nothing less. Don't try & make something out of nothing.

The fact is he's trying his best out there and we should give him complete support and be proud of him. He's out there playing for all of New Zealand.

Please everyone stop replying to DingDong, I think it's been made fairly clear from pretty much all his posts that he doesn't do much else but troll.

You need to wake up & smell the roses lad. This is a 'cricket" forum; a place for fans to express their views & give their opinions. Clearly too much of a volatile environment for a sensitive new-age boy who gets upset when people point out the truth about some cricketer who's clearly not up to the mark. That's sport & that's life, despite what your mother told you.

Woh! Way to tie your colours to the flagpole!

I'm surprised you didn't manage to complain about socialist pinko woolly woofter feminazis in the same breath. :dry:
