Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach
I think the most important thing is to provide a living wage. Tough to hit 400 balls a day and become an international cricketer earning 500 bucks a month for 4 months. If you break a bat and have to replace it you have to become a herbivore in order to eat. You also need to master the art of living...

Re: NPL 2024
I think the manager/coach/selector is Gary Brent?

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
It's an interesting topic, yet folk get heated. I do too, it's always better when people agree :lol: I was meaning Maru, not Maruma. I always puzzle over Maruma actually. I've watched him bat often, he has all the time in the world and looks a really classy batsman and then inexplicably goes out. I ...

Batters need to learn the "gravity step" and there's a new era in batting

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
A ball bowled horizontally at 123 km/hr experiences a backwards horizontal drag force that is equal to the weight of the ball. At world record bowling speeds around 160 km/hr, the drag force is 1.7 times greater than the weight of the ball. Regardless of the speed of the ball when it leaves the bowl...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
I listened to Holding a while back claiming he (himself) was quicker than was registered because in his day they measured average speed and today they measure speed essentially as the ball leaves the hand. Not buying his story at all. I'm trying to find out how much the ball slows down (a 150 ball) ...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Ya I found it a while back, just finished watching it. Brilliant stuff. The facilities in Australia are mind boggling. They interpolated that he was around 140-147 when he was at his quickest . Short guy so was skiddy. I'm honestly surprised, when I first saw footage I thought he was mid 130's. Such...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
In every sport on the planet they're not as good, maybe cricket 100 years ago was the exception. I'm not discrediting anyone, it's about perspective. The larwood absence is just fact. Bradman was a mortal. A 256 score against larwood, whom he struggled against was unlikely. Every batter has a bowler...

Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach
Naqvi being out of the country for the whole winter fucks his residency qualification. So thats that gone. If Curran was serious then he'd do the hard yards and do an NPL season here like everyone else. He won't be in the picture until he does. He just seems to fly in for a couple of months and the...

Re: NPL 2024
Let me tell you what's an interesting development, I've given it some thought. This Rangers side is loaded with the white guys. It's going to be very interesting to see how ZC take this. They could either decide its a bit of a slap in the face or they could turn it into a positive thing. Its going t...
