Dyslexic, hahahahahaha, that's a good one.tooextracool said:which shows how dyslexic you really are....time and time again ive said that its easier to bowl in the middle overs than it is in the first 15 because there are no field restrictions, indeed any fool will know that. and bowling in the last 10 overs is obviously a lot harder because the batsman generally throw everything at it. the fact that ealham has a high average and a low ER makes him fit the bill of 15-40 overs bowler perfectly.
You're moving into the territory of one other forum member I once got into a spat with, who tried to venture into diagnosis of matters he had no authority to comment on.
And it really does show how stupid you are if you just generalise that because Ealham seems to have the record of someone who bowled in the 15-40 overs so he must have done so, instead of actually looking at the stages his overs really came in.
And good bowlers are more than capable of bowling in the first 15, it's not especially different to bowling in the 15-40 stages, the requirements are exactly the same - line and length. Both are totally different to bowling at the death which requires constant control of a full length and quick reactions when the batsman moves too soon.
There are bowlers who are suited to bowling in the first 40 overs, and there are those who are not suited to bowling in the last 10. Being not so is no disgrace. Ealham is a more than capable opening bowler, more than capable of coming on 2nd change in the 20th over. Either way, he shouldn't be bowling at the death and any captain who bowls him there is very poor.
Ah, yet again you didn't watch properly I see.oh and warne has wasted many a helpful wicket, but the difference being that on all those wickets he got turn on them. the fact is on this wicket he didnt get much turn at all, because the wicket wasnt a turner!!
Oh, no, I forgot, you deny that Warne can turn it on anything. Despite the fact he quite clearly can.
