I don't think that was the case though, no chance of a single for 70 mins? I think Nash slowly backed himself into a corner by not scoring. After 20-30 minutes of not scoring, you look very silly if you go out to a rash shot. Plays on your mind and makes you more tentative.

Deonarine didn't lack composure, but he probably was thinking that one of them has to get a run somewhere.

Rotating the strike works. Pressure does build up otherwise. Regardless of how many days you've got to get the runs. You want to keep the momentum, not hand it to the opposition without them having to do much at all.

Nash is back scoring freely now anyway :happy:

Nash didn't want to try any thing out of his comfort zone and it was fair enough according to me. In my mind, he has played really well.

Agreed but it's better to be out there waiting for a ball you can score easily off than trying to force it.

There's a reason why people who do stupid **** once in life get more lenient sentences then serial offenders.

Watson is the biggest dick in intl cricket, and backs it up every session of cricket he plays. He doesn't do one dumbarse thing, he does many.

He also cries.

Good player though.

Examples? I know he gets fired up when sledged, but other than elbowing Katch and hitting giggling crybaby for 6 to bring up his ton after being sledged what else?

Scored a few runs in NZ btw.

That's Deonarine's fault though. If you let the run-rate get to you in a situation where it's completely irrelevant, you're lacking in temperament and it's entirely your fault if it gets you out. If he'd shown the mental strength Nash has he'd still be out there and the bowlers would be getting frustrated with the lack of progess and starting to try new things.

Not entirely, no. You bat in partnerships. Deonarine had been out there for a while, Nash could've helped him out by rotating the strike occasionally. There's no guarantee the bowlers would get frustrated, it's hard to get frustrated with bowling maidens. When a guy's looking to score no runs you certainly have a wider margin for error as the bowler.

Forgotten the elbow? And he's just a **** frankly.

Massive irony an Indian supporter requiring a reason from an Aussie supporter to hate another team's player though. Kudos.

That's because their mental fortitude left them. Nash is getting runs now isn't he? Waited for the bad ball, made use of it and runs are coming now.

:laugh:

Yes, it tends to do that when you've been at the crease for a while (in Deonarine's case). Mental fortitude is such a simple thing, seems most cricketers in the history of the game have been lacking in it.

Anyway enough of this 'batting in partnerships' and 'creating pressure' mumbo jumbo.

I did acknowledge the elbow.

So basically, you don't like the fact he hates being sledged?

Don't really understand the second bit.
