Was it Clarke who left one on middle half way up in a one dayer?
In the 07 WC yeah. I think he advanced down the deck too... one of the odder dismissals you see.

Mind you, the title holder for 'worst leave I've seen live' has to go to Watto's "effort" 2nd dig at Jo'burg last year.

It's because people rate him. Same as Anderson, they both go out and play shots rather than for the batsman at the other end.
Anderson, not a great shot player from what I've seen. Swann should play shot's it his natural game, but he should be more judicious with it. He's played many decent cameos for us, word up, but should score more.

More I think, the more I suspect it's Bell I was thinking of. Along with pretty much the rest of Bluey's batting, except that bottom-handed clip off his pads.

EDIT: Nah, Punter, I think.
Langer used to end up with his hands on the wrong side of his body at times, hold them up high and bring them down next to his right hip.

Yeah indeed. There's no reason he shouldn't be able to average in the mid to high 20s but he gets out softly on a very regular basis. He shouldn't try to become a defensive player but he should certainly be a bit more selective; he seems to fall into every trap that's set for him.
