TBH, there at least has to be some place in the commentary-box for stating the obvious, otherwise they'd just shut-up for 90% of the time.Michael Holding

I hate the grip. My business partner and fellow coach teaches that grip and I walk away whenever he does as I want nothing to do with it.
It invovles the right thumb wrapping around the handle and the complete elimination of the 'V' on the bottom hand.
Horrible. Just as the off drive for 4 was horrible by Shah. Bat came through at an angle and it was awkward.
No doubt if he scores runs domestically he deserves his opportunities when others are unfit but I really dont like the way he pushes at the ball and how he uses his hands in his shots.

I was winding you up, it was a very good ball.

Your sentiments on Graeme Smith?

Disagree, the West Indies vs England game was so very entertaining to watch. Still I'm loving this real cricket.

I was just saying that he is always taking his batting gloves off and putting them back on again 10 seconds later.

Not necessarily my thoughts on Smith, but I have had a lot of conversations with a number of different coaches and it seems the general concensus is that he scored so many runs so heavily for KES (King Edward School) that coaches didnt fiddle with his technique and now there are holes that have been exposed ie the head getting outside the line of the ball when playing to the leg side and they will be hard to fix.
Ive heard it mentioned that his earlier coaches sat back and enjoyed his runs but were in dereliction of their duties by not ironing out faults that could hurt him later.

Hahaha, just *a bit* of talk on that. TBH, Bell scored a ****heap at six last summer, so it's probably better to have him there.

Bell batting down at #6 where he has had good success in the past.

Meh, I watched nearly every game of the WC and really, it doesn't come close, even though this doesn't look like it'll be much of a contest either.

Replying to Gelman, TBH, not you. It annoys the heck out of me that he changes his bloody gloves so often.
