Ah, fair enough.

 

I'm not. My original point was that it is insignificant in his career. It was hardly a 'horrific' series for him anyway. His average was terrible, but his bowling could hardly be described as horrific as Marcuss suggests.

 

Horrific is as bad as it comes, this was hardly the worst possible series for a bowler. It was a horrid series, definitely, but not horrific.

Ftr, I'm not arguing that an average of 70 isn't horrific, because it is. But judging Siddle's bowling solely on an average of 70 in a two match series is stupid.

 

What? This whole time we were talking about his bowling, you bought up his average as evidence for your argument. I've even admitted that 70 is a "horrific" average. What else could we be talking about?

And there is no need to add things on such as your straw man comment just because you feel you are losing this argument. That's just blatant trolling.

 

It's simple. There is good, better, best. In this case there is horrid, horrible, horrendous, horrific. Each have different connotations, I'm not trying to do what you think I am.

 

I think we're actually arguing nothing. I said he bowled badly, you said he bowled badly. You said averaging 70 is horrific, I agreed.

 

Again, you're wrong. This is my original post.

 

He hasn't had a "really bad" series yet is what I said, and I stand by that. He was bad, I admit that, but he wasn't really bad. His average was, but he wasn't.

 

I'm not going to bother anymore. I watched the series Marcuss, yeah, he was average but stats over a two match series don't really indicate how he bowled. He didn't bowl "horrifically". That is all I have been trying to say, and it's the truth - whether you like it or not.
