Yeah pretty much. Apparently in 2010 he was only spinner measured to average over 2000 RPM so if he's getting it up there towards 2500 on some deliveries, that's tops.

The reason leg stump is treated diffently is pretty simple - it's all about angles.

Same with International Cricket 2010 too. Nothing better than seeing a batsman hook a yorker for six. Amazing game.

I think so, maybe months ago.
Hughes with a leg glance. Wouldn't have seen that four years ago. #progress.

Don't knock the champ!
If Trott bowls second change do the comms call him an all rounder for the next test?

Wrong angles. And despite HawkEye proving to people that leg stump actually exists, we're still not challenging the incorrect conventional wisdom when it comes to legside lbws since 98% of the ball needs to be hitting leg stump before it stops being 'umpire's call'.

Wasn't it you who laid into him a few weeks ago when he scored runs for Australia A, saying you wished it was anyone else?

I hate when tests don't reach the weekends. Due to the Cape Town test in 2011 only lasting three days, I didn't see my first bit of live action of the last South Africa v Australia test series until the 6th day of the series. Was a series I was anticipating so much and I had to rely on highlights and recorded footage, without being able to post on CW at the same time etc, for most of it.

yeah it took me two or three years to have a decent match in ic2010 and it came last month, i played as bermuda against australia in a t20 and chased 188 on the second last ball 9 wickets down. i'm a big advocate of the front foot drive off a bouncer actually

This RPM thing reminds me of Richard posting here years ago saying that every finger spinner put the same amount of revs on the ball because he'd video taped them all and watched them in slow motion and counted them. Good times.

That's actually really interesting. I assume you just mean the English home season, but even so, with Ajmal and Shakib participating it wasn't the worst season for spin bowling quality.
