hmmm
One more thing i wanted to write down-
In test matches, how can players stand there in scorching heat for the maximum 8 hours? I can myself play cricket only for 2 hours! Even batting which requires immense concentration and stamina...how can players play continuously for so many hours to even days! No bathroom break? Perhaps not sanitary napkins, but i think the batsmans even the fielders might be wearing Johnson & Johnson Toddlers' nappys! LOL
And one more thing, as my topics are making inroads in international cricket, the fast bowlers and the cricket world have taken a back step in keeping their game intact!LOL Nowadays fast bowlers bowl slow in matches and the speed notified on t.v. is just fake. And the reason why they are bowling slow is to show the upcoming generations, the present day upcommers and the audience; that the ball is the same used as in coaching clubs...i mean those heavy ones!
The fast bowlers a decade ago were really rotating their arms real quick!
Also i want to say that from the time 1988, many batsman took undue advantage of television. Many batsman tried to acting in cricket, showing as if they had a lot of fear in facing bouncers and fast paced deliveries. But as i have seen even the fastest bowlers are have been square-cutted to the off-side. And no one can square cut a real fast bowler. I saw the autobiography of Donald Bradman and no one did acting. You see a fast hit off a fast bowler makes the ball travel 10 times the speed with what it is bowled and still not even a single fielder over-reacts, or shows cautiousness. But, in this 21 st century, if 100 people gather in a place. The characters speak very differently if some one does speak! LOL
The pitch length in cricket is 22 yards. When i play, i measure the pitch by footsteps. I take 18 to 22 footsteps for making the game perfect. When i watch on t.v., it seems like the international cricket pitches are just 15 steps. The spinners never make any shoulder effort. And the fastest bowlers bowl 30 slow balls and inbetween a speed one. No one bowls a york, only pitching a short and what someone calls 'the half volley' again and again! LOL. In australian test tours pakistan fast bowler shoib akhtar (chucker)is shown from a side angle camera while bowling. His arm moves the slowest! Also there are some great spinners like n. hirwani, s. joshi, v. raju, m. ahmed ...etc. etc. never made any run-up and still were able to bowled the batsmans. Might be that 90% batsmans in cricket never knew even how to bat! LOL Records for Kindergarten? Might be that the season ball used is lightest weight as if of plastic for jonty rhodes perhaps!
Also i want to mention that many cricketeers of the modern are just plainly acting that they are great!LOL Like bret lee, sachin tendulkar, saurav ganguly, rahul dravid, and many many more! I wonder who likes them and for what! Wearing thermocole pads and gloves!
