I found his assessment of the English players particularly biased. He seemed much harsher on the Englishmen - e.g. he had Vaughans weakness as "Nicks a lot of balls, unsure where off-stump is, captaincy too bland.", and with Pietersen mentioning his "big ego" as a weakness. Even with Flintoff, he mentions lack of footwork as a weakness - I don't think Flintoff has especially poor footwork, certainly no worse than many other batsmen around.FaaipDeOiad said:
Martyn has particularily poor footwork and that doesnt seem to be a problem for him. I think mark is clutching at straws there to be perfectly honestDasa said:
Less footwork != poor footwork. His footwork is perfectly fine for the shots he plays. A player like Martyn, being balanced and in position is more important than getting right across in the orthodox sense. Mark Waugh was the same. It's not many players who have such good eyes that they can do that. He moves enough for his purposes. I think the fact that Martyn isn't caught behind a disproportionate number of times indicantes his footwork is just fine.

Exactly. The beauty of Martyn's footwork is that it is minimul and allows him to play shots that others normally wouldn't.Top_Cat said:
