    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    how does removing fur, and taping, make a ball heavier than taping with fur? I've always taped with fur, might give without fur a go...would probably make it skid much more

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    the other thing to do, is hold it 'cross seam' that way it doesn't swing at all, and when the batsman is expecting prodigious swing, it can really confuse them :p My favourite was when there was a new guy. He said he played alot of cricket (never tape ball before). So as i started to tape up a...

    pietersen should possibly be dropped for now

    but vaughan doesn't trust harmison with the new ball. so by dropping hoggard, there is no opening bowling pair.

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    ah but thats why the bowlers hide it. And the swing is so much that even if u know which way it's gonna swing, it's hard to play

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    yeh i had reference points on the back fence..i'd aim for that to bowl perfect yorkers. The point for an inswinging yorker to a right handed batsman, was about a metre - a metre and a half outside off stump

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    hahah yeh when i went to india, we played on the roads with a rubber ball. Boy does it skid off the pitch. And the sole aim of the bowlers, was to bowl as quick as they can. And i faced some of the quickest bowling i've ever faced on those streets. THe ball would hit the road and speed up! All I...

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    give the half tape ball a go, you'll love it. It's fun batting against both..depending on how much space you have. Half tape balls are almost as quick off the bat as well

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    it's not as fast, but still pretty quick. Of the pitch sometimes it'll skid through and sometimes it won't. Adds even more unpredictability. It's fun, because the bowlers run in hidng the ball (so you can't guess the swing) :P Then they also run in, and swap the sides over in delivery stride...

    The TAPE-BALL phenomenon

    you think it's swings like crazy with a fully taped up ball? Tape exactly one half of it. So one half is white, and the other half is still tennis ball. It will swing towards the tape side like crazy

    dravid is grossly unheralded

    and ur right :p I didnt' realise it. I just had a look at his last few matches, and he's got gd scores against SoutH africa and Pakistan. So he is indeed in good form, and i guess i just missed it. I wasn't judgint on the Super Series. I hardly consider that important

    Red Cards in Cricket?

    How exactly does your comment about me being a convict hold up logically? I'm not saying apologizing makes it better. You said the following: What kinda statement is that? So i figured i'd stick in a stupid statement like yours and see how u reacted. also, it'd be nice if you explained how...

    dravid is grossly unheralded

    you can if u want, but i'm talking current form, and lara, apart from the 200 against australia, hasn't been in great form. Lara's good innings, are better than Dravid's good innings, but Dravid's bad innings, are much better than Lara's bad innings. (if that makes sense) Dravid to me, is...

    Red Cards in Cricket?

    Afridi apologized, yet you still go on about it. It's such a pity you have to keep going back to the 'convict' argument from many decades ago. Pity again that your argument doesn't hold up as my parents are both indian.
