It was in jest, but then the post above you compare yourself to KP again, an infinite jest presumably.

No I compared the difference in quality. Surely I wouldn't compare marc to Ballance. Ballance has one serious weakness - against moving full deliveries on off stump; he's decent to anything on his hips or anything short and wide. Now, if we try to find strong points in marc's posting then...

I know Ballance still has his great record and all, but surely at some point Bayliss/Strauss have to look at the way he's batting, and go "nah, this really can't work". Whilst also firing every single batting coach he's come into contact with over the last two years. I simply cannot believe that this is actually his natural technique, as opposed to coached into him.

i feel like one of the reasons people have no faith in ballance is because he looks kinda like neville longbottom

You should be happy for once you aren't the most irritating poster in an Ashes thread.

Watching the verdict. Marcus North just said on Starc, "this is the most important test match, because they're playing it."
Often something that's overlooked. We always talk about bowler resting for long series etc, and it is valid, but you have to try and win the current match first and foremost.
Not to say they should bowl a guy who's clearly injured, but.

As the best poster on CW, I feel inclined to encourage everyone to raise their game

Haha maybe!
For me, most backfoot players make me nervous early in there innings and then I feel like they're the most solid players later on. Longbottom is no different, especially when the bounce on this pitch has everyone looking a bit shoddy. 'If it counted the way you played the ball, he'd be poorer than Weasley' though

It all depends on the injury though doesn't it, there are some you can play through without aggravating too much, and some you play through and it ****s you up for years. Got to show some level of intelligence on this.

Did you win the ****ing poll again, **** me double vindication around that time that democracy doesn't work.

Definitely. Just thought it was a fair general point. Like if we toil tomorrow and Anderson bowls heaps, sure it may have an adverse effect on him at Lords but what's the point risking this game just to give us an extra 2% in the next?
Had a few run and cokes. I know what I mean

When you told me you were upset about the election result I presumed that was what you meant tbh

According to Cricinfo, Ballance got a 223 minute, 7 ball duck. Not a bad effort if you're trying to save the test.

That's quite enough, thanks. No more of this bickering. If you have a problem with each other's posts, then please report them to the mod team instead of going at each other.
