He is a spoilt brat, private school pedigree to i believe and thats how he comes across to the averge Joe, some of us are a bit quicker on the uptake, the rest of you will get there in time when youre not blinded by his performances with the willow.
Nothing shits me more than a batsman who takes forever to get off the ground after being dismissed. anyone who does that in my club i certainly let them know. You should be quick to get out there,sows intent and quick to get off, with any luck theres a few hours in between.
You're certainly not blinded by facts, given he went to a State High School in Wollongong and left school early to try and make a go of it as a professional cricketer.
I'm certainly not blinded by his performances with the willow just appreciating a bloke who had to work at his game after both his 1st class and test debuts to make himself as bloody good test cricketer. Something that all Australians admire, people who succeed through hard work,
As I've said before I wish he would keep his cards closer to his chest with his emotions so it keeps his opponents guessing and gives them lest ammunition to get him wound up and off his game. He's not perfect or worthy of being classified as a deity. His captaincy has areas for improvement but I have no problems with him showing his disappointment at getting out especially when he deems it his fault, like I believe he did yesterday.
