If you leave a monkey with a typewriter, he'll eventually type the entire works of Shakespeare. In Haynetrain's case, if you leave a genius with a computer, he'll eventually figure out how to use Cricinfo. However, as tends to be the case, you can spot somebody who doesn't really understand the sport they're making comment on by their use of stats. There are some fairly accomplished wankers around here, but Haynetrain has his hand bloody glued to his c**k.
McCullum v Warner as an opening bat. Fair debate, that one. Both play different roles, and both do it very well. Both entertaining. Both aggressive.
Haynetrain is funny, good that people like he, dutchy and el dribbly have access to computers, a generation back they would have been hidden away
You forget the Haynetrain tipped NZ to beat Australia at Eden park like 2 months before the WC even started,how many times did i say i was betting on NZ in that game?
Haynetrain + Kane Williamson 1
Pat Cummins 0
But if you watch Boult, you know that he is a better bowler in 2015 than his career stats suggest?that is, if you know what you're watching?which is where Haynetrain runs into problems.
Kiwi's are even worse than Aussies in overhyping sportsman,my goodness.
Maxwell Chopped onto the stumps from a terrible wide delivery
Marsh played a lazy shot and chopped on a plodding ball
Clarke hit a regulation half volley straight to the fielder
Johnson scooped up a plodding half volley straight to the fielder
Starc good ball to clean bowl
1 good ball in all of those wickets,other 4 batsmen got themselves out with poor batting,your deadset kidding if you think he bowled well enough for those 5 wickets,sometimes bowlers bowl great and get no rewards,other times they plod and pick up a bag full like Boult did in that match.
Starc was 10 lengths superior bowler on the day to Boult.
