It happens in every code of sport and that is what make reading of his posts extra interesting. His clangewrs on rugby has reached a crescendo - like scoring of tries in games does not really count - that backline players are there for defense only - that ball protection and recovery is not important when it comes to loosies. That assessment of flyhafs are based entirely on their kicking game. That coaches cannot enhance performance of players through sound caching, etc,
However, his recent pronouncements were in respect of cricket. He started a thread that Cook should not have been replaced by Markram and in the first test against Australia after the Mozart comments Markram made a century, Frankly that shows a deep level of stupidity.
But an even deeper level was reached insofar as De Kock is concerned. According to Mozart cannpt bat against spinners and the Aussie bowlers will send him packing, because his batting technique is poor. When told that De Kock will get through the slump in form - he denied that it is possible.
His other arguments are famous as well - when told that Amla has eye-hand co-ordination he claimed it is not applicable. So Amla made 8 runs in the Aussie test and the rest of the top order was atrocious in the test thus far. All of Elgar, Amla and Du Plessis failed badly and in the middle order De Bruin showed some signs of life in the second innings, Time for things to change in that team.
