Answer, you have no idea. You comment was unwarranted.
Thank you for your considered remarks.

I have lost count of the number of pilots I have 'base-trained' on the Airbus family. I think I know how to land an aircraft in a cross-wind and, it seems, know how to teach them.

On the day in question, there was a huge westerly over LBA (it's on a hill and gusts are not the issue) and people were having difficulty.

If you imagine, for a second, there would need any neutralising the rudder (for your 'gust') you are a dreamer. Neutralising the rudder at any time on the approach and after touch-down would result in the A/c departing the C/L pdq. The rudder would need a very great deal of application throughout.

QED

(By the way: you might like to re-visit your punctuation).
