Can Steyn test the aussies ?

[Precambrian]

I'm fairly sure most posters don't need your comments to help them make predictions in the future TSTL.

As I said, by all means carry on, but don't be surprised when people don't like it.

It;s not about the poster, but about the post.

Oh jeebus. Richard is back posting - his usual annoying idiocy again - and Susudear has decided to out-idiot him. I'm gonna find it pretty tough to get through CW again...

Well no-one'll miss you if you decide not to try - please do.

 

[Richard]

Daym, not the first time I've put latter and former in wrong order.

 

[Richard]

Richard has been made to look like an idiot, and he doesnt even realise. Or he realises and can't accept it.

Either way, it's quite funny.

If there's one thing more funny than funny, it's people who think saying "so-and-so's been made to look like an idiot" makes someone look like an idiot.

I've advised you of your cluelessness relating to me - you thought I was a biased Australian fan not so long ago - before now, so I suggest you take heed and stop making comments about me when you appear not even to be able to read my posts, preferring to read what you'd like them to contain.

Swervy do you only come to CW to argue with Richard?

Yes I do.

Interestingly steyn strike rate is very high in eng and nz (swinging conditions) .
He was a swing bowler so it's a strange thing, that a swing bowler struggled in swing friendly pitches.

Personally, I think he'll average in excess of 45 for the series. Even amongst his most magical demolitions of teams he's had the ability to bowl really poor overs which release the pressure and given the lack of swing in Australia I don't think he'll consistently threaten here.

If you have a look at the seamers who have actually done well in Australia against Australian batsmen in the last few years, it's mainly been the consistent types who keep the pressure on and enjoy the extra bounce. Collymore, Flintoff, Dillon, Nel, Ntini, Sharma etc have all looked the most threatening, even if without the results to show for it, than those you'd consider to be "strike" bowlers such as Malinga.

He may bowl a testing spell or two with the new ball but I don't see him demolishing the middle order or being a sustained threat throughout the innings. He certainly has the ability to prove me wrong on this one but I think he'll leak runs and struggle with the conditions.

Hmm

He was a swing blower so it's a strange thing, that a swing blower struggled in swing friendly pitches.

At first I thought it was a type.

So who was blowing?

Narrator: He, infact, did not average in excess of 45

Auto typing mistake

Auto typing mistake

I’m always surprised when this happens tbh.

I’ve never been able to stand having autocorrect on my phone, first off the words are distracting above the keyboard and I’ve never had issues with typing in general. I thank the random typing cd rom games from my youth.
