Makes sense.
Not really an enthusiast of continual heckling myself. Fair enough if it's a spontaneous response to something that happens during the game though.

People often see all rounders as having equal worth in their discipline averages, but actually I think its important to compare all rounders on their net production, weighted to each individual discipline. You could, for instance, say that Stokes average of 35/33 (bat/ball) is superior to Woakes at 29/30, because he's 5 minus 3 = 2 runs overall better when each discipline is offset, ergo he's a better player.
But actually, when you look at statistical worth of each of these averages, you find Stokes bats only 1.8 innings on average per game, but takes 2.4 wickets per match.... so his batting average is actually, in terms of its use per go, only 75% as useful in determining his "all rounder" rating. His bowling average is applied at far greater consistency. I dont have time to do the maths and crunch it properly, but I am guessing if you worked it all out, you'd probably find Woakes is a more efficient player.I am interested in an answer though, so I am going to work this out at some stage.
My hunch is that you would find higher bat averages would be significantly offset by better bowling averages, whenever a player takes more than a wicket per innings .... or in other words, bowling all rounder or maybe even bowlers who can bat a bit, statistically, would prove to be more efficient players.

The player talks of being abused whilst training and leaving his hotel whilst also having to deal with the illness of a family member. Put simple no one should have to put up with abuse whilst just going about their daily life. Hes not asking for sympathy, but i think most decent humans would accept that a person should not be abused when ever they step out in public.
