    Can they reshcedule the Test until a few days? cos the isnt part of the championship, it should be easier to push back the start date? cant they use common sense and just re start the Test 2mrw?

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I really rate O'Rourke, think he has potential to be word class. Was even getting the Aussie batsmen to jump around with his bounce and pace. Also despite being young he has played a lot of first class cricket. I'd keep him away from white ball cricket for now. Also with Root getting his 33rd...

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    He's finally got more 100s than the rest of Fab 4. 4 years ago him and Williamson were trailing Smith and Kolih. think Smith is on the downslide at 35, Kholi im not sure. Williamson and Root are the younger of fab 4 and both seem to be getting better at converting 50's to 100's. imagine if...

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    Can't believe they forced Anderson to retire, especially with the English bowlers being injury pone. IMO even at 42 he was still there best bowler, but they were looking ahead to the ashes in a year and half away and he couldn't guarantee that he would still be playing then. But this is the...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    I thimk in 2 years NZ can be the top team, We have Jaimeson, o'orouck, Seals and some other speedsters, Imagine jaimeson and O'rourke bowling 140kph+ (Orourke really impressed me by the way he made the Aussies jump around the grease and looked do dangerous) plus Henry..... thats a potient...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Good Test cricket! Henry and O'rourke bowled good, was impressed that O'rourke was able to trouble the Aussie's with his pace and bounce. As a Kiwi I am glad that Smith is opening the batting, if I was the Aussie coach i'd want a Smith at 3 or 4. Tommorow I hope that NZ can bowl the last pair...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    I just hope Williamson doesnt have to come out in the first 10 overs, NZ need a big 100 from him this Test. Him and Mitchell are the backbone. I'd like Phillips to bat at 7 so he can play his natural game Santner is the safe option, but I would play a 4th seamer with the 2 part timers. Also if...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    In the 1979 comp? they even say if you watch the whole video, that the high speed camera's were used, testing it straight from the release point

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    Well being a trainer in strength and conditioning for sports, and talking to other international athletes I am very suspicious as to how he became a medium pacer when he first made the England team to bowling 90mph+ in that 2005 year, and then he went back to being medium paced in the following...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    It shows that a lot of bowlers from that era arent as fast as they are historically remembered. ps Skip through the first part of the video to get to the competition. Jeff hadnt played cricket this season so I guess normally he would of been faster.

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    I remember Shane Bond well after he retired played i think it was a legends t20 tournament, i think he was around 42 at the time and bowled a delivery at 143kph which was impressive as he only had a few weeks to get in shape prior to the tournament. Such a shame injurys ruined his career, in...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    Even over a Test match, I doubt Lee or Shoaib average speeds were over 145kph (i'd guess in the early 140's), but, lets say for example since 1980, I would bet that over each decade the average speed of fast bowlers would higher. Norjte has had the fastest bowling speed average over a Test that...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    I didnt notice the right foot crossing behind his left foot either, I was watching a old video of the worlds fastest bowler competiton that was in the early 1980's and had all the best bowlers of that time, and Richie Benault was commentating, and they showed a slow motion of Thommo's action...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    All you guys are wrong, the reason he was able to bowl so fast and able to get so side on at the last second ,was in his delivery stride he would cross his right foot behind his left foot, which enabled him to get so side on and then sling his arm back behind his body. this technique is not...
