The "gripe on the grip" appears to be built on the fact that the squash ball (made of rubber) aborbs the vibrations (particularly when the batsman is beaten and the ball does not hit the sweetspot) and then helps transform this kinetic energy back to the ball...so the mi**** travels a lot further. Whereas the inner glove is a purely comfort element - better grip and sweat absorber, its not a performance enhancing device.
Was that a Pura Cup Match ?
He used it in the nets for the whole tournment. I don't understand why a batsmen would use different equipment in the nets and then not use it in the game. It surely is going to effect the way you bat, as it would make you feel like your missing something everytime you bat.
I can see it helping guys like Jayasuriya who play more square. The main thing is not to do with your grip, its about hitting more straight as well as lowering the control of your bottom hand. Flintoff, Kemp and Kapugegura could do with as well.
Bit harsh IMO, have you read his posts in non Sri Lanka/Australia threads. Clearly Australia not his favorite team, but doesn't make him a troll. Other posters post in a similar way when it comes to Australia and some of them are long term posters.
Well in long term posters who are often critical of Australia, like Sanz, they are also critical of many other things as well and are more or less consistent.But you're right there are some long term trolls as well. I don't think he hates Australia, he might heavily dislike Australia, yes, but I think he wants to get reactions out of people more than anything. I'm not saying he should be banned or anything, I just think he should probably focus more on actual cricket and less on trying to wind people up. But I suppose he comes here solely for the latter though.
If you read majority of his post he comes here to talk about Sri Lankan cricket. You just seem to have noticed the small percentage of posts that have been extremely anti Australian and slightly designed to wing up posters. He does provide a lot of construtive debate when it comes to Sri Lankan cricket, so i can't see how you can think he comes here just to wind up people. He does have to tone it down when it comes to Australia/Sri Lanka issues or he will just get off side of many Australian posters here, like his already done with you. With more construtive Sri Lankan related posting and less Anti Australian he will be fine IMO. Also a lot of it has to do with the fact that his joined the forum around the time when there has been a lot highly tempted Australia/Sri Lanka issues eg Player resting, World Cup Final and now the Gilly issue. I think you should give him more of chance.
Yeah fair enough.
Totally Disagree ! If that's your benchmark for a troll most of the members here should be accused of same .... Cough ..... cough ... Scaly ....cough fiery.... m**** !
