Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2408005, member: 1944"] I've played a bit against both Lynn and Burns and they're both quite different batsmen. Burns is quite classical, a trait which no doubt hampered his early development. He has a wide range of shots and is very good at rotating the strike - its hard to pin him down. However, he's quite immature mentally in terms of cricket. Lynny on the other hand is the typical batsman of his generation. He can be quite damaging and unorthodox at times - I've seen him pull apart any number of grade attacks. He's showed a maturity I thought he didn't have in stepping up to first class cricket. He really values his wicket. Gone are the days of throwing away an innings with poor or lazy shots. The Bulls have also invested heavily in him - he's already being groomed as a future skipper. Can schnick off early and relies quite heavily on his ability to punish bad balls. I have Lynn quite clearly in front at this stage. He'd be a marked man this year and it wouldn't surprise me if teams have figured him out a little - always the next challenge for any established youngster. Now Burns is in the set up it wouldn't surprise me if he continues to improve. He doesn't have the experience of the IPL or dozens of development tours that Lynn has. [/QUOTE]
