In 30 years everyone is going to be sitting around discussing Moeen 'No Rounder' Ali based on his stats, and we're going to have the "NO HE'S A PROPER BOWLER DAMMIT" argument all over again. For eternity.
I've given up mate,, but you got the quote wrong.
When great posters like Fredfertang persist in a Richard-like fallacy of being lucky fortunate over20 Tests you just realise it will carry on forever.
Love cricinfo commemts, everytime he bowls a bad spell, it's "why isn't Rashid playing", "maybe we need Tredwell he's steady like Compton is in batting" "Joe Root will do well here get him on", just look at the commentary it was all there, I probably haven't the quotes quite right. Why do they keep putting these comments up. When Adil was bowling, it was all "oh well he's a legspinner he's allowed to bowl rubbish".
BTW why has that last type of comment become so ubiquitous, is it Warne himself lying about his own career like he was some kind of derring-do adventurer with a different type of ball every delivery? The fact it's nonsense, when batsmen were well set, Warne bowled accurate leg-spinners to a defensive field, he and McGrath strangled batsmen brilliantly, oh when he'd made the break-thoughs he'd get more expansive, but in the end his nagging accuracy was his thing, combined with his psychology of talking about all his new types of delivery before every series which the England bats seemed to buy into the thick ****ers.
Also Anil Kumble the next best leg-spinner of recent times, not really known for bowling four balls, could someone tell me who these successful leg-spinners that bowl countless buffet balls between brilliance are? Maybe Abdul Qadir, but that was awhile ago.
