I had a quick look and saw a batsman hitting spin for 6 on the up repeatedly and then getting out to a half volley.

TR could have done it if they'd launched a couple of those low full tosses right at the end. Terriffic hitting to get themselves nearly over the line. Root is an incredibly accomplished all round batsman.

She gave up on getting back twice and was wrong both times. Glumly walking off to the pavillion while the keeper had an actual honest to god Ashes 2013 bonkers fielding moment. Somewhere out there the Trickstar CEO is pointing at the screen and screaming "I was right!"

Worst ever attempt not to be stumped there in the women's hundred.

He was genuinely super, super quick. And super short. The keeper would be taking the ball chest high and rising. Might have had a chance to actually play a bit as a T20 specialist. Or maybe he would still have broken down just bowling 4 or 5 overs a day.

Holy crap, dude can hit. Looks like they tried hanging a line way outside off stump at one stage and he just did some kind of go go gadget bat maneouvre and somehow off it goes for four. Reminds me a bit of KP's triple FC ton against some hapless attack, just because one selector had...

It happens a lot with the really super quick prospects with the fastest twitch muscle fibres. Baseball worked out decades ago that these guys break down if you use them on a daily basis. They get injured and have long layoffs from their teen years, sometimes only playing a handful of pro games...

Whoa whoa, let's not say anything we can't take back.

I think I'd prefer if the run out law counted the bat as grounded if any part is grounded or if it was within a certain distance from the ground. A bowler who delivers the ball with the front part of his foot grounded beyond the line without touching it and his heel on the line but in the air...

Robin Smith was an absolutely top class player of fast bowling. The hardest hitter of square cuts yet known to man. His stock was pretty high after any WI series and he did knock up a rare 150+ ton against Australia in the one dayers. Unexpectedly omitted from the WC final and shabbily treated...

AFAIK the worst ever vintage cricket game was Robin Smith's International Cricket. Early 90s, ST / Amiga, possibly C64 / Speccy. You could literally have more fun just reading scorecards. Atari / Amiga Cricket Captain from the early 90s was also pretty awful. Still comfortably ahead of Ashes...

Must do. Having seen what Shrubsole was bowling I think it's just showing deviation from straight and nothing else.

I think I've just worked out why they label the axes left and right instead of offside and legside. They'd have to segregate the rhb and lhb or it would look like all the bowlers were swinging it both ways.

Ok, well she bowls inswingers and her variation is the straight one. Not sure she has an outswinger.

Well, presumably zero movement is dead centre of the green bit. Just not sure whether seam right means off or legside.

Exactly. Is there one for swing as well or did I misunderstand and it's always for seam movement? It probably does often hold true for seam as well, although I'd suspect there are more guys who'll produce the ocassional big seaming delivery opposite to their normal shape just because seam is a...

Folks, does anybody have screenshots of the swing-o-meter thing they've got on the Hundred coverage? Just with regards to DBC / C22 stuff, one of my hobby horses is going on about how most bowlers you'd likely encounter in pro cricket have a strong bias in favour of swinging the ball in one...

It's almost like there aren't posts immediately above explaining why that might well not be practical, from a coding point of view.

Australia and NZ played 8 ball overs as standard until the end of the 70s. Lots of 10 ball overs back then.

That 2nd lbw is so comprehensive the batsman walks.
