Yeah Misbah was my first thought too, especially since it was so disproportionate compared to how he fared against (for example) perfectly straight balls that bounced a bit.

It's like if Lyon got to bowl against nothing but left-handers. He'd have a sub-20 average.
And I can tell you as someone who has bowled a bit of off-spin, you feel like a god at times when you get to bowl around the wicket to lefties, compared to how it feels bowling to right-handers. I can only imagine left-arm spinners feel like this every time they bowl to righties

still tough to compare, especially when guys like lyon and sok who usually don't get much spin, all of a sudden are spinning as much as warne did, in those Indian conditions, i mean sok got like 12 wickets in that 1st match didn't he. That was a whole different level and way more difficult to play spinners in that series compared to this series, which was pretty much dominated by spinners taking the majority of the wickets

If you can get through that new ball nibble it seems reasonably fine unlike the first two innings where you felt there was always that bit of a nibble carrying on. That is of course until the reverse comes.
It is spinning but far too slowly at this moment.
Very intriguing morning session and days play ahead. Will have to stream it at work.

Back in the days of bottle tops and high quality tampering, Wasim said Martin Crowe was the best at playing reverse

Cancel it and tell them to read the notes. I'm sure you can video and upload something after stumps

We are doing Newtons laws and classical mechanics.... I suppose I could show the of motion of a cricket ball live. (sigh! if only.)

Get them to explain why gravity is a 100% unpredictable thing and there's no way to predict how high a ball will bounce, even after you've measured its velocity.

I wish! This is a physics course for people who don`t actually want to do physics (nursing, construction, architecture! etc)...... even though everybody should do basic physics. But this is getting off topic now.

More like, coming from a lousy left-arm spinner's point of view, suddenly having to bowl to a fellow lefty and thinking, "now what."

That's weird timing from Marsh. Why would you want to have a chirp back when a guy's just clean bowled you?
