I think that the the the cricket relay batting.Bowlers game had been on the back of end.When, we have discussed about cricket, we are talking about Deng German family, Brain Lara, Rahul dravid, instead of talking like Shane Warnethe the BRET Li layer, murlidharan and I like to look at batting than bowling (I support the team)..

I just saw batting highlights of indian batsman v.v.s.laxman in one of his best batting performances. And he was batting against steve waugh side. The surprising thing about v.v.s.laxman batting is his bat which is very much seasoned stroked adapted. Then even his defensive strokes and cover push goes for a boundary. Many other batsman like sachin tendulkar, brian lara, steve waugh, sanath jayasurya etc hit hard shots even while playing glance, straight drive. But v.v.s.laxman has tricky batting techniques and amazing light handed strokeplay. The shots played too find gaps and fielders are taken back to see the ball hit so lightly reaching the boundary. You can't say v.v.s.laxman is a wristy player like m.h.azharuddin. But v.v.s.laxman bat is really amazingly seasoned for perfect example of fine strokeplay. If one imagine to copy his strokeplay many would only reach till the circle.

Now when will i ever debut in cricket? My age is now 31 and some years after i would seem like an old man laughing stock making debut.
Australian oarsman came by boat boarded a liner ship and started playing the game called cricket!!!
The fish catchy phrase of cricket is like boating without a sea!

Funny that i thought about cricket and came to know that most of the existing nine cricket playing international countries are all islands living beside oceans like england, australia, west indies, new zealand, india, pakistan, south africa, zimbabwe, bangladesh, sri lanka...! So these countries were traditionally fishermen sailors who liked cricket.
Its like the jesus christ famous story when many people came by boats to see jesus christ in arab lands. Christ then by magic gave many poor people fish and bread. And even gave sights and cured the diseased.
So cricket seems to be from that times, the fisherman favourite past time, bradman's 11.
Still many cricketeers try playing cricket, but many villagers, middle class youths and rich men never know how to play cricket.
Only the traditional fishermen who have keen sight, focus and could withstand hours in sunlight play cricket. Other qualities of fishermen cricketeers is inner strength and determination. Might be in old times many countries when they had king-queen had employed strong fishermen sailors as knights who went for battle across seas. So cricket became popular with royal kings court who in old times used to overwatch the game mainly in india-pakistan-england(like gladiator wrestling in roman world). In modern times we watch cricket as commercialized.
So many countries try to play cricket, like afghanistan, u.a.e., kenya, canada, ireland...etc but don't know how to play it. So fishermen eat fish daily which somehow gives them inner strength and ruggedness.
I had a dream some years ago, in which i was at a house in pakistan, in which a boat was kept and aqib javed was putting lubricant on the wood of the underside of the boat. Many muslims never neared him nor his house. As aqib javed was most feared by the locals. He worked for pakistan fishing industry making boats.
So many west indies, indian, england and australian cricketeers are fishermen.
I have even seen once that fried fish of karachi are very tasty cuisine which are not available in india.

Fishing net practise.

I was viewing some yester years cricket between SA and australia. In it i saw the batting techniques of batsman jonty rhodes. He has a keen eye-sight and fast reflexes just as his fielding abilities, his batting too is unorthodox and never seen before. He measures the ball pitched and plays some weird shots in the air somehow hard hitting finding gaps for four. Very aggressive batting even lance klusenor, brian lara have very fast batting swings.
While sachin tendulkar mostly relies on indian batting ageold traditions that is to place a stroke. I have seen most of sachin's batting and like his predecessors d.vensarkar, kris srikkanth...he doesn't offer bat swings to a paceman. On a good pitch delivery, sachin draws back to backfoot and stands on just his toes. Then places his bat angled straight and then the ball ricochets n' with the same speed goes back towards the boundary. Even while playing c.walsh, i.bishop....sachin used same techniques even to place the ball towards leg for four. If you look at sachin batting from the back you'll see his technique.
While most other batsmen like inzaman-ul-haq or mark waugh would try to swing at deliveries at off side or sway towards the back foot or even try to get behind for stroke.
So most successfull batsmen like sachin and lara seem to work on the toes with footwork.
Batting is very tough and disheartening. I was imagining making a double century would be sweaty business with all health loss and taking a toll on the mind as well.
I was viewing a match between australia and west indies test match in australia. In that match there were many lbw decisions against west indies which i felt were not sporting. Cause the ball pitched short by aussie bowlers went dub (dead ball) and hitted the west indies batsmen towards their ankles. So in that test match it was trick bowling to get the batsmen out cheap. I think the World Cricket Organization should change the lbw rules. The delivery only hit above shin should be considered as valid lbw!!!
The in other scene of highlights, jimmy adams played a stroke and took a single. He took 12 jogging strides to reach the other side. In general, asian pitches batsmen take only 9 strides. So i think australian pitches are medium cricket pitches!!!

Batting techniques is tough to discuss in forums. In my longchamp pas cher visions when i had first got a test cap to play for india, i had practised a lot batting against tennis and rubber ball. And even had experience in batting in coaching clubs against heavy season ball. But in real odi and sac longchamps tests i was not able to play even spinners and medium pacers. So if the ball was like tennis ball, then why batsmen would have cared to worn the protection gear. And the heavy season ball properties are that after impact with bat/leg pad it stops under its own weight and never rebounds/travels far. Then i had to spent hours in nets against a automated tennis ball practising machine to correct my footwork. But i still got out in odi and tests. The light ball infact used to ricochet after pitching towards the stumps and even had an awkward bounce for fast bowlers. So the trick was to play the natural cricket strokes with alligning the bat with the ricocheted ball, feeling the vibrations in the bats' handle. The most successful batsmen like brian lara, sachin sac longchamp pas cher tendulkar and australian batsmen were whom who could jab the ball consistently on front foot. While many pakistani batsmen played backfoot with wristplay on suitable pitch conditions. Howzat?

Some batsmen play their shots while on backfoot or on frontfoot with how they see the ball bowled at them. What you might be saying for playing strokes is perhaps the batting skills of aussie unorthodox techniques of ricky ponting who enforces the stroke into play. He has very weird batting techniques and his batting in tests against waqar younis fast bowling is worth watching. Many other batsmen who changed old cricket batting techniques like adam gilchrist and michael bevan. They had weird variety of strokes but not copiable in real cricket.
Whereas as you say that season ball if it were light weight why would the batsmen weared so much protective gear! And the ball should had stopped under its own weight! But i think the season ball played in tests as well as ODIs is medium weight, neither light as tennis nor heavy as a season ball. So most of the times during leg bye 's against medium pacers and even against spinners the ball after clipping the pads goes towards the boundary.
Cricket is a tense game so even i get at many times clean bowled cause of poor defense.
Some days back i had a dream in which i was batting against wasim akram who was bowling slow. But i was not able to connect not even a single delivery with my bat. He was not bowling towards the stumps but at a good pitching length the ball after pitching swayed like magic away from my bat towards the wicketkeeper!!! I played atleast 8 deliveries!!! So its not about defense either! Cricket in my view is a funny game, by luck i can score even two hundred runs a innings or could get 10 ducks!

I know about allan border, he scored 27 hundreds in 156 matches. 44 times not out in 265 innings. Whenever he used to bat at the least moment he used to defend the delivery from getting out! And used to push through gaps for taking singles golf shots btw! And from a distance it used to seem a reckless shot with bat raised high at the back and again towards the front for playing it square!

I never got to saw the careers of allan border, imran khan and richard hadlee. In 1991 world cup, i had first time started watching cricket and took many years to understand bowling of wasim waqar. When i had finally understood cricket it was in 1996, and in india on tv many cricketeers like viv richards, kapil dev, david boon ...etc careers were shown. But imran khan, allan border and richard hadlee 's careers are banned to be showcased in india, i don't know why!
When i was learning about cricket richard hadlee had retired, imran khan too had quit. And i had seen allan border but his batting seemed to me like a 5th-6th position middle order defender batsman who used to strengthen the middle order batting. Though his record proved him far superior.
Left handed batsmen who contributed and made much impact after him were of the likes mark greatbatch, mathew hayden....! Who disgraced and dominated many a bowlers. Other fine left handers batting skills are of to be seen like of mark taylor and syed anwar.
In my view in the last decade the modest batsmen were saurav ganguly, michael vaughan and graeme hick.
