There being assistance for the bowlers doesn't mean batsman can't get out being ****ing morons.

I'd say of the 4 "proper batsman" dismissals, 3 are quality bowling and 1 is a garbage shot (Warner)

It's funny how often batsmen get out to innocuous deliveries when they're under pressure. It's disingenuous to say that batsmen are getting out entirely due to bad shots when the reality is that the previous 10 balls were what set them up to make the mistake.
Part of Renshaw's limited success so far had been in his ability to not let the previous ball affect how he plays the next ball. That's very hard to do as a batsman because if a bowler has put you in a frame of mind (back foot/front foot/defensive) your body instinctively moves to play the next ball the same way as you played the last. That fraction of a movement can just upset your whole shot just enough to turn a middle into an edge, or keep your feet in place when they need to move.
Bowlers have plans to batsmen and ultimately what they're trying to do is trick the batsman into making the wrong instinctive movement which causes the larger mistake. This often makes the dismissal look soft when in reality it was created not on that ball but in the foundations built in the two overs prior.
Some batsmen play rashly, but I think the bowlers often deserve more credit than they get for their wickets. Particularly spinners who get a lot of these "soft" wickets with slight variations on balls that have been dispatched earlier. Spinners sometimes don't get the credit they deserve when they toss the ball up and get spanked a couple of times before getting the wicket.

Watched it back. Happy to concede I was mis-remembering on that point. Some brilliant bowling.
