Well what i was getting at is that I just don't think he takes enough singles, fair enough if the batting conditions are tough but clearly they are not.

With this unchanging ultra conservative style I can't see him offering much in tough pressure situations, will become a sitting duck.

'agribusiness' is everything kippax doesn't like

it's prioritising the (currenlyt) most dollar-laden pursuit ahead of others with a healthy dose of
a) short-termism
b) anti-intellectualism

The final component is the idea that success in said pursuit should be lauded by everyone, no matter what their values are.

We should all be dairy farmers because get a real job and carbon is something the scientists made up and you are all just jealous of us.

I like the seamer + spinner at each end. Think BMac used double spin a little too often in first two tests, which let runs leak.

Was a good spell from Anderson this morning, showed his point of difference vs Neesham.

Well when you transform a "Danny Morrison worked out a way to be successful and is well loved by the Indian fan" into a "Well that's short-termism and anti-intellecutalism" and any other manner of elitist insult, tall poppy syndrome seems an apt fit.
