I just find it hard to understand how some of them have the relative experience to be an expert on such matters.

The majority of female fast bowlers are around the 70mph mark. None of them will have known what it's like facing someone like Michael Holding bowling at 95 mph and aimed at the head !

Similarly, Roy Hodgson's playing career peaked at Gravesend & Northfleet, but had a pretty decent managerial record, suggesting he might know a thing or two about the game, without being a top class player!

If you do come back, you could try actually reading the thread properly? Alternatively, try to quote where I've written anything even slightly sexist?
