They always tell you to play the ball with a straight bat.

 

[smash84]

they took the saying too literally

Honestly, however did that England side make a WC final?

Love this pic of Bradman, taken in the nets in Perth on his way to England in 1930 (caption says 1932 but I have read it was taken on the way to the UK for his first tour). Completely uninhibited. He's slightly cleared his front leg, and I suspect the ball may end up in orbit.

great pic

Although the cameras back then were prehistoric, I'd imagine (from that photo and from many other pieces of anecdotal evidence) his bat speed was so, so quick

Two iconic pictures of Jonty Rhodes.

South Africa's return to international cricket.

that is an iconic picture of inzy actually

 

[G.I.Joe]

that is an iconic picture of inzy actually

Considering that he's actually stretching to make it back to his crease, I'd say it's an ironic picture of Inzy.

And Fanie de Villiers just after taking the return catch off Glenn McGrath, SA beating Australia by five runs.

Love this pic of Bradman, taken in the nets in Perth on his way to England in 1930 (caption says 1932 but I have read it was taken on the way to the UK for his first tour). Completely uninhibited. He's slightly cleared his front leg, and I suspect the ball may end up in orbit.

You can clearly see his special top hand grip in this photo that I read so much about growing up. I tried to copy that grip for one season. I did great that year, Then gave it away for some reason.

It is quite hard to play through the off side with his grip you can do it - but leg side play is a doddle.

Not sure, but the rain was the only thing that won Pakistan the whole thing.
