firstly i wont stop typing the way i do because that doenst proove anything im saying is wrong. thats like saying u wouldnt listen to an illiterate man talk just because he is illiterate and anything he says cannot possibly carry weight.
secondly, i havent been proven wrong, what i put forth in this thread may have been prooved wrong because i didnt get my message across in the right way, i still stick by my point of view but really i dont care bout being prooved right or wrong
anyways, i didnt put my message across well, im not saying mgrath is not talented, overall he is very talented and deserving
hes the greatest bowler in the world
all im trying to say is that in terms of his physical talents, he is not out of this world compared to other great fast bowlers in the history of the game.
u look at athletes like michael jordan, maradona, pele, thier natural physical talents jus jumped out at u
hes not a freak of nature like most other greats in other sports are
we have to look at the fact that, mgrath is the best, best bowler in the world today and where ever u look in other sports, the best players are normally freaks of nature athletic wise
geof boycott is another example of someone who was not in the same class as mgrath but certainly one of the finest palyers, u can say the same thing about him, he didnt jump out at u
im just saying
if someone new starts watching cricket, he would expect the best player to provide more in lines of spectacular like say viv richards or wasim akram
there are alot of pacemen in world cricket, who are capable of bowling with alot more accuracy then they currenlty do... im not saying they can be as accurate as mgrath, because mgrath i do agree has natual help in being as accurate as he is
but really, alot of other international bowlers can do with being alot more accurate, and they are capable, its simply the fact that thier mental approach isnt as strong as cricket greats, and thats the msot important thing.
i have nothing againts mgrath but admiration, because he has utilized what ever he had to the best of his ablity, hes a perfect example
most bowlers u can say there is so much room for improvement, but mgrath has not simply jsu giving his best effort, he has always seemed to have made the right choices which is a huge reason why is he great
i still stick to my point, that he is the least naturally talented bowler atleast out of the all time great bowlers in cricket history interms of natural physical talent, and there is no bout about that
and that is only more of a reason to have admiration for this man
.
