I see so many people on this board complaining that the Australian team is full of sloggers and that the only way to craft a test match innings is through a slow but steady approach.
Boy do I have news for you. You are wrong. Oh so very wrong.
Some of the greatest batsmen of all time have been "sloggers" and make many on here look foolish when they whinge our batsmen are too impatient or are sloggers. Let me teach you a little bit of cricket.
Adam Gilchrist: Belted the ball rain hail or shine. One of the greatest batsmen in our history
Michael Bevan: Incredible finisher. One of the great batsmen who gave it a whack.
Sehwag: The Indian Gilchrist, but not as good. Again, scored at a ridiculous rate.
David Warner: Aggressive batsman with a very impressive record. Another slogger.
Chris Gayle: Destructive batsman who blasted a triple century. One of the greatest innings of all time.
Mark Boucher: The South African Gilchrist
Some of the greatest batsmen of all time were sloggers. The proof is above.
Now shut up and please stop whining about it. It is not an issue and never has been.
