5th Match - Ireland v West Indies

[Zinzan]

Btw, where do those figures come from?

The cricket world authority that is Wikipedia

Think it's easier to think of bowling speeds in terms of averages, with RMF around the 80mph/130kph mark, RFM around the 85pmh/137kph mark and RF around the high 80's/low-mid 140's (varying depending on the format).

Yeah I agree with using average speeds, but in doing so they should exclude 'obvious' slower balls for me.

Sloppy effort there in the crowd.

This is the source that wiki has listed for that. Not exactly renowned for being an authority on cricket.

There's no defined way to classify it at all.

It also has a lot to do with your rep and what country you're from. For example, Tim Southee from little New Zealand, a team of battlers who punch above their weight, is classified as medium-fast.

This one hand catch thing is dumb. Waiting for someone to fall on a toddler.

Did not expect Ed to come in and score at over run a ball.

Wow, that was quite the compliment from Ian Bishop about the spirit of NZ cricket.

The funniest was Doug Bracewell being listed as merely 'right-arm medium' up until the start of 2014.

 

[Zinzan]

This Stirling lad can play. His excellent record is no fluke.

James Neesham is 'right-arm medium' as well

Damn, roach under the pump here

Hence I've sat nowhere near any of them.

 

[Burgey]

West Indies need a wicket quick smart here of the game will get away really quickly. Big gamble with an injured Sammy having a trundle.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Andre Russel's ODI bowling stats are better than I thought. Avg 32 econ 5.7 SR 34

He hardly ever looks like taking a wicket whenever I've seen him bowl

ODI bowling averages are pretty meaningless above 30, especially for guys who bowl a lot at the death. It's too easy to get a couple of worthless jammy wickets right at the end.

ireland is better than pak or WI

ireland if they win this game, could qualify for super 8 if results go their way.

Or fall off the second tier of a stadium.

What did he say?

It also has a lot to do with your rep and what country you're from. For example, Tim Southee from little New Zealand, a team of battlers who punch above their weight, is classified as medium-fast.

Tbf, Southee's speeds tends to wander all over the place depending on his rythym, and some of the time he probably is closer to MF (he was pretty consistently floating around 130 in the recent SRL tests).

 

[jonbrooks]

Ireland looking good. First upset coming up, if you can call it that given WI form of late,
