@No-Quarter and then seeing when the keeper stands
I've told the story before f even a guy of Doull's pace working me over (and chipping me)
I was shit bat thoughHaha yeah, we watch bowlers like Southee throwing them down at 130ks and call him medium pace, but when you face 130ks it feels more like 150, it's on you in a flash. I've never faced anything 140k+, I actually don't know how professional batsmen even hit the ball.
Sydney Thunder have just shown how badly Village v Pro can end... All out for 15: Sydney Thunder routed in BBL for world-record low T20 score
-
@Donsteppa Bizarre.
The Thunder had just 6 scoring shots - one was a thick inside edge for 4.
3 extras.
Thunder had (World Champ) Alex Hales and Rilee Rossouw in their top 3.
After the first over - Chris Lynn on the player mic: "Not an easy wicket to start on".

15 all out is a Village day out.

One of the many joys of cricket I suppose. Often on the days you're out for a duck, a couple of others score 50+. But on some days, everyone else follows...
-
There should be an investigation!
Really funny though, now if only an international team other than NZ can replicate this in a test innings

If the money's right I'm sure Pakistan could manage it

@canefan then the money hasn't been right since 1954/55..

@bayimports and not in Auckland since 1877..

Enjoying the big bash tonight. Mitch Marsh will make a great commentator one day.
-
Phenomenal bowling spell from Jhye Richardson after 8 weeks holiday too! And what an athlete Ashton Agar is!

@ARHS Is there any chance New Zealand will get a team in the Big bash in the future?

Not atm there is talk here in the Cricket circles of a Northern QLd based team.
Qld Bulls masters are heavily involved in the McKay and Townsville areas and are pushing for one. -
@Chris base it in Cairns we have the best ground
-
I watched that disaster finally and wtf was with the feet of the Thunder players? It was like they were all glued to the pitch. Every wicket was from a batsman planted like a fucking tree with very deep roots.
-

Yeah real possibility although I have heard Townsville's Riverway park mentioned good lighting at that ground.
Townsville was mentioned as being more central to the NQ cricket area.
McKay Harrup Park is used a lot for under age Country rep stuff but is a bit small I think it only holds about 7000.

Trevor Bayliss batting approach.Strong base, hit through the ball idea use all the power from the hips he has used that for a while.
Baseball style hitting its used a bit over here but it was not executed very well and you can only do it to length balls or back of the length stuff as soon as it is forward of a length you can not get enough leverage to hit it far. -

Have they not seen the % rate of baseball players actually connecting properly? And that’s with the knowledge that the ball has to go into an area.

It works very well when executed correctly,Glen Maxwell and Glen Phillips are great exponents of it,every top 20/20 player hits big that way and have used it for a few years now.Brendan McCullum used it and I see England are now batting that way it at test level.
But you have to pick the right ball like any shot.
Thats why they are hitting further you generate more power and hit further and in more area's.All about the power base no base you can't hit anything very far.
It has revoultionised the 20/20 game,
when you have hit a ball using this technique you really understand the concept and the improvement in your range hitting. -

Risk and reward I suppose.
-
@Chris I understand the mechanics of it but, like you say, you have to hit the ball first and if planting your feet makes hitting the ball harder then you haven’t got it right
-
Cant get caught if you use good footwork and get your foot to the pitch of the ball. You'll only score about 70 off your 20 overs, though. But at least you'll have another 8 wickers in hand for the afternoon session.

Risk and reward I suppose.
Sure but by using the hitting technique and increasing distance by up to 20 metres the miss hit now can go for 6 instead of being caught near the boundary.And you can reach the bigger boundaries easier.
You can hit with more power square and straight which you could not reach the boundary before.
You can also hit one of the most difficult shots 6 over cover much easier.
As you say less Risk for more reward. -

That’s why you pick your balls to do it. Planting and swinging at everything never lasts long.

the mankad is out of control
annoying twink Adam Zampa tried one last night, in a similar vein to others i have seen, where they actually get all the way through their action but don't let go of the ball, then turn around and whip the bails off. It's shit cricket, and at least the annoying little shit wasn't rewarded.
Look, i was a bowler, and i too hate that the game is skewed towards batsmen. And there should be recompense for them leaving their crease early. But if, under normal playing conditions, you leave when the ball should have left the hand, that's not early, that's allowable. Not letting go of the ball is shit cricket.
in short, fuck off Zampa you overly emotional little git. oh and you're team lost. suck shit
-
@mariner4life I was at the game last night and it was interesting that it was 80%+ Stars supporters but when Zampa came out to bat the boos were loud as.
I don’t think the crowd liked his mankad stunt.
Stars batting was dumb.
-
Tom Rogers bowled out of his tree after the Mankad attempt. Karma was at work...
-
The BBL has been pretty good this season
Adelaide just runs down 230 to beat Hobart. Great chase
-
-
Great catching display from a miked up Cam Bancroft tonite. And a maiden from A J Tye in the power surge. Great skills tonite.
-
I haven't watched much of this season. How are the kiwi players going? I saw part of Guptill's innings on the weekend, he's still struggling for his timing
-
@Duluth Colin Munro going well. CDG Boult and Guptill pretty average.

Park Cricket Colin is going okay. Nothing big but he's playing a decent role in the middle.
-
David Warner was surprisingly good in the commentary box tonite in a one sided match. And AJ Tye was very amusing in the post match interviews for mom. Great to see the player personalities coming through and insightful stories from within the camps.
I wish we could replicate this stuff in NZ cricket and rugby. I am sure there are lots of players who could shine and promote the game and its personalities and drag in more fans.
