Slogging is a skill, Martin has none. Perhaps he dreams of being a slogger.

Good sloggers pick what to slog.
Nuwan Zoysa is a serious slogger, and waits for the wide, full ball to slog, or waits for the spinner to come. In between he keeps blocking everything coming his way. Vaas early in his career was also a good slogger. He waited for the short ball from seamers and waited for the sweep length from spinners. Later Vaas expanded his game to be a respectable batsman in test matches.

Darren Gough. Nearly used to swing himself off his feet when he went after the bowling.
His batting never really developed, but I remember a couple of innings of glorious agricultural heaves early in his career. Daffy De Freitas & Goughy put on a few together in double quick time at The Oval versus the yarps to get us close to their first innings score and set up Deadly Devon's magnum opus and The Dazzler long-handled his way to a fifty at the SCG with Gus Fraser dead batting at the other end.
Actually, looking at the scorecard Gough scored 51 of a 58 partnership.
