Otherwise (Very) Good Players who Look Crap asf

[social]

Not a particularly good test player but Rory Burns has one of the strangest techniques I have seen

No idea why he hasn’t tried a more orthodox approach as he’s going backwards

I'm taking this thread a different direction. I don't think the crab people like Chanders, Katich, Smith (both S and G), Lehmann etc. should qualify. Personally I love those techniques and they don't look "crap" as in quality-wise, just aesthetics for some people.

Let's make this thread about Travis Head. Who is not only horrible to watch but also looks like he should be getting out all the time and average about 7.

Guy has an eye like a dead fish and must be incredibly frustrating to bowl at

Daily reminder that Head > Wade.

His face looks like a dead fish

Most modern fast bowlers, frankly.

What about his posts?

Mitchell Johnson's bowling action was dreadful to watch especially in his earlier years. I will also add Jacques Kallis's shoulder heaving action too.

 

[Burgey]

One of the smartest actions for a fast bowler. Except I do think it's starting to put an additional strain on his body, which is unfortunate.

Isn’t this an oxymoron?

 

[Burgey]

so much this. i hate to watch either of them bat.

I love watching them bat. The longer they do it the better

Kallis had a textbook action & is one of the most technically correct cricketers of all time

My fellow nzers are going to hate me for this and I say this as a huge fan:

Ross Taylor

Played some glorious shots but also had a strange ability to look like he’d forgotten how to bat while not getting out

He definitely looked absolutely putrid against left arm spin.

Ran around like a velociraptor (Johnson)

I hope he never posts here or discovers it exists and/or has any compulsion to ever read one of my posts. Can't imagine it going well for me.

Can you sue someone for consistent negative commentary bordering on abuse on an anonymous online forum?

It helps him get wickets and prevent runs. It's difficult to sustain over the long term. Given that he developed his action for himself, I'd think he probably wasn't aware of the second problem.

We should invite Sanga here and find out.

Don't know if i'de call him a "good" player but something about the way mitch marsh bats just looks off to me. Don't know why.

Have you ever seen a Bison in the wild? Everything about them is “odd”
