look here..a bouncer cyar get me out unless I play at it. so I wont play at it. a short ball cyar get me out unless it off a good length, sooprise me and I have automatic protective reaction.
but I have to play at no short ball.or if I am protected enuff, let it hit me.
there are also crap short balls. I mus' hit those for 44444444444..every time. so I have to negotiate the dangerous ones by letting them go. the difficult ones can be a problematic getting out of the way..but avoid I must and the crap ones I will swear by, bouncing them off the boundary boards. I have to get them skunt and dem to bowl at the wicket that's what, and make them pay. they cyar bowl short ball all day long. they have to get my wicket as long as I doh give it to them.
dat is the whole idea..make the skunt an dem work hard to get wickets. and that takes brains and some test class batting skills. that's why they on the test team...to use their heads as well as their bats
