Well if you're holding-out for universal relevance you're going to reduce the number of posts on the forum to zero.

Certainly from you.

Not all wickets come exclusively from bad strokes, y'know!
And certainly not all run-getting strokes are good ones! There's nothing good about an arial edge to the third-man boundary!
Anyway, it's beside the point - nothing wrong with a spell of 6 wickets where 2 were good balls and 4 poor strokes - but there is wrong with a 7-12 with not a single good ball. Or any other good set of figures where not a single good ball has taken a wicket.

I know, I was just saying it from the result-oriented perspective. Sometimes you cut rank long hops, well away from the point fielder and you think you have played a good shot, but NO, the guy at point dives and takes it one handed. You always end up feeling that it was a bad shot and you should have just left it alone for it to be a wide.

Well occasionally catches get taken that, really, have no right to be.
But if a catch was taken it was always possible so what might have been a good shot was actally a bad idea if the fielder could get it.
