Quote: G1 "This is an opinion worth listening to. Batley has wielded no axes against either player. In fact during the course of the season he and I have disagreed over Buderus's influence in specific games when he has praised him.
That a poster like Batley, someone who doesn't post frequently and rarely gets into the silly spats that occur on this board, and someone who has felt free to disagree with me on many issues and on many occasions, has reached this conclusion about Buderus speaks volumes for me.
As for those who have marvelled at watching a player like Buderus then I recommend tennis. I come to watch the team and the team has looked eons better with Diskin as the main rake in 2004, 2007, 2008 and indeed 2009.'"
Your argument holds no water, Australia, NSW and Newcastle looked significantly better with Buderus at 9 rather than Diskin, so what.
