Talk:Bill Ponsford

message: He was one of the greatest players of spin bowling, but was less at home against express pace. 
I added this line a long time back and it now has made it to the intro. The first half of the line came from Robertson-Glasgow's article on Bradman in Wisden 1949, but am feeling a little uneasy about the 'less at home against express pace' part. I can't remember where I got that from - possibly it was based on the troubles that he had with Larwood in 1928-29. It would be better if we could get a proper citation, or modify it to something that we are certain about. Tintin (talk) 14:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am deleting that second half. It may also be better to pull this line to the middle of the text rather than leave it in the intro. Tintin (talk) 03:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed; it shouldn't have found its way into the intro - sorry!  However, the assertion is certainly warranted: his Cricinfo profile says Against high pace he was less secure, and when facing left-armers like Voce and Quinn, the South African, he at times showed a tendency to move too far across his wicket..  --RobertG ♬ talk 08:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Aha ! I am changing it to "late", guessing that it is what the writer meant. Tintin 08:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
