See the dom today regarding the catch- as of October 2000 the catch should be given, before this time it was not out. Elliott just annoys me for no real reason, has played well in ODI's of late, but does not fill the Oram void for T20s. On a side note, Jake's back and fit again, what will this do to our lineup in tests/ODIs? Elliott keeping his place for the Indian series? In over Oram? Both in?
Oram in. Elliott's a decent cricketer who plays well within his limitations, but Oram's a whole class above him.
It f**ks me off when people say things like that. It's a nothing term. An international sports player is never playing "Well winthin his limitations". He's clearly using ALL his ability so he can get the best result for himself and the team.
You misunderstand what the term means then. It refers to players (or people in general) who generally don't have the set of skills to succeed in their chosen field, yet manage to find some success by sticking to the few strengths that they do have.
When the term is used, no-one means that the said person is not playing to the best of their ability, it means that their ability is limited. Hope this clears things up for you.
can't remember a whole lot of Oram tons batting 4 or 5 to win us games or anchor chases...Oram has ability, but is a different type player. haven't been able to watch a whole lot of Elliot. will be interesting to see what becomes of him.
