You're saying that Steve Waugh, a guy who averaged 50 across a huge career playing a large amount of his tests against Ambrose, Walsh, Donald and even Marshall was troubled by the short ball? Fmd, the guy averaged 53 in the 90s, the second highest behind Tendulkar.I really like this ****oo land that @stephen and @TheJediBrah inhabit when the slightest fact that shows something wrong with Aussie cricketers is brought up...
"never troubled" indeed........

Iyer was clearly troubled by the short ball both from fast bowlers and Moises Henriques.
To put these two batsmen anywhere near the same conversation is completely deluded, no matter how many emoticons you add.
It will make sense if we are talking about him playing tests. He is not even in the squad, FFS. And yes, the point is everyone looks awful when they get out to a bouncer from time to time. But a guy this young in his career cannot be judged so quickly. You can judge away all you want and I hope the Aussie team thinks he can be easily bounced out too, tbh. It will just mean he is that much more likely to succeed against them when they rock up to bowl to him with no plan B.Waugh wasn't dropped because he couldn't play the short ball. He was dropped because he was picked well before he was ready because the stocks were so thin.
And yes, I'll judge a batsman who gets out so awfully to the short ball regardless of the circumstances. That's a player who won't succeed long term, particularly in tests until he can get it sorted.
Where did I say that? He was dropped coz he was poor. He identified his play against the short ball as one of his weaknesses and found a way to work around it. A short ball weakness does not mean you keep getting out to the short ball, btw. Ganguly hardly ever got out to a short ball either. As Spark pointed out, it messes with your head and you end playing the regular or full balls poorly. I certainly dont think Shreyas will go down that path, at least in the long term.Waugh wasn't dropped because he couldn't play the short ball.
This explains all of your posts then?The "I was just trolling" excuse after being wrong..... V88978732
Lol as though I am wrong about this. Or anything much, come to that. Iyer should have his papers marked. Terrible. Genuinely c. Fear b. Trepidation against anything above waist height.The "I was just trolling" excuse after being wrong..... V88978732
haahahahahahahahhaa are you seriously saying he's going to be in line for a test call up?Iyer hasn't even made his test debut
Didn't bat on Indian featherbeds vs minnows 3 out of 4 digs either.Fmd, the guy averaged 53 in the 90s, the second highest behind Tendulkar.
It shows how much you read of anyone's posts, really....This explains all of your posts then?
