Im confused!

[Prince EWS]

The "big picture" on cricinfo for the Eng v Zim one day game was this:

I cant get my head around it!

Where is Taibus head?

Also, it appears that half of his body is facing towards the batsman (see gloves) and the other half is facing the third man boundary (see feet). Also, one of his feet appears to be IN FRONT of the stumps as hes diving!

Whats going on???

Still photos can play funny tricks.
I can see his head, though.

 

[Isolator]

Doesn't look confusing to me. Looks like he's diving along the side of the pitch, to take a throw from a fielder.

 

[shaka]

yeh I see what you mean. But I can see his head, was it a bad throw?

 

[Prince EWS]

I still cant see that....

Perhaps the caption confused me.... "Tatenda Taibu dives to gather a wild return, Zimbabwe v England, 1st ODI, Harare, November 28 2004"

Also, could someone please explain to me where his head is!

 

[Prince EWS]

Ahh!

I see it all now!

I see his head, covered by his hat - I thought it was partof his shirt.

I see that he REALLY IS infront of the stumps there, and he is in fact along side of the pitch, not behind the stumps.

 

[dinu23]

can't u see his cap

 

[Buddhmaster]

I can't see how you couldn't see his head??

The human is a fascinating animal. Perhaps one of its most incredible features is that its head is actually attached to its neck!

Yeh, when i first looked at that picture, his head didn't stand out, but it wasn't hidden.

 

[Prince EWS]

I actually thought the peak on the left was his shoulder, and the face to other shoulder area was a gaping hole, in which his head had been removed from.

This was caused by the fact that I thought he was stretching out behind the stumps, when in fact he was 90 degrees from where I thought he was.

 

[Buddhmaster]

I suppose that if i didn't see his face straight away, it could get a little confusing

 

[Richard]

For all the not-completely-unjustifiable talk of "throwing stuff", I think this possibly may count as the finest moment of the "youthful Cribb".

 

[Precambrian]

His head is visible hidden by the cap, and he's probably on the side of the pitch, trying to collect a wild throw, thats why his legs are in front of the stumps. This photo is taken from somewhere near the long on, assuming batsman is a righthander.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Hahaha, brilliance.

 

[Mister Wright]

One of the funniest threads in a very long time.

 

[Pratters]

Haha. Gold.

 

[Nate]

Haha Cribb.

MY FACE!! MY BEAUTIFUL FACEEEE

 

[pup11]

Haha, don't worry PEWS it happens to the best of us mate....

It appears to me to be taken from about cover-point...is that how everyone else sees it?

lol but seriously, what was up with young Cribb.....he didn't even know where the head was located on the human body...
