The fact you think you know better about it than I do is even funnier still.
If it's "even funnier still" that means you admit it's funny.....that's a start.

But it's as simple as this: had Warne taken that catch, Australia would probably have won that Test.
?No such thing as a half-chance - something either should be caught or it shouldn't. And that was never, ever going to be caught.
I would class a half-chance as something that a good or very good fielder would catch, an average one might get to, and a bad one has no chanceNo such thing as a half-chance - something either should be caught or it shouldn't. And that was never, ever going to be caught.
That's not necessary, nor appropriate.Fortunately you're not a subject, just an object of ridicule which doesn't require explanation as even the newest members spot it straight away.
No, Tait is 6'4" and built like an Aussie Rules footballer. How many poor athletes do you know who can throw anything as fast as he does?Do you honestly believe that?
If he was Jonty Rhodes, just maybe, but Tait is a poor athlete and was IMO never going to get both hands on it.
Hmm, wouldn't describe him as a "naturally skilled". I guess as a pure athlete, he's pretty good. Wouldn't describe him as an athlete in the Brett Lee mould.No, Tait is 6'4" and built like an Aussie Rules footballer. How many poor athletes do you know who can throw anything as fast as he does?
Yeah but how many 6'3" fast bowlers like Lee do you know who can bowl as rapid as he past 30 and with bugger-all injuries since his early 20's? He's a bit of a freak. Tait is a reasonable athlete; was a decent footballer for Nairne. Either way, he's hardly a poor athlete.Hmm, wouldn't describe him as a "naturally skilled".

It's as though any miserable drop of appreciation has to be wrung out of you. As I say, I do really feel sorry for you if you genuinely couldn't appreciate the extraordinary brilliance of that innings. I dare say, however, that you do appreciate it, but are adopting a controversial position for the sake of it.the innings was far from out-and-out poor, there was good batting involved
