id say the Jones ball to Javed Omar at Lords wasnt half bad either. Outswinger that pitched around middle and leg and ended up having him caught behind at slip.FaaipDeOiad said:

I have to say i liked Ntini's ball to Langer in his 100th test, that was a beauty - the batsman had no response. Also Shoaib to Kirsten was good as seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjyabFcSSc

You can't see it clearly - did it hit his arm and then his face or did it just go straight up into his face?Shabash Tapash said:

I was 10 at the time, Jono. Thought I'd just pull out a random year and uni.Jono said:After party delivered did it?
Melbourne University's Law Ball, 2005's afterparty was at Motel. Sucktitude.
Missed out on the Melb Comm one this year, had to go away to Darwin. Spewing. Although afterparty was at Prince - not my scene. Nor Motel, really.

...What is a good-legth delivery ... Over -pitched Length , Yorker length , short - pitched ,full pitched etc etc ....
In my very honest opinion in order to get the ball a little movement the ball should be pitched just below the good length . For Steve Waugh I guess the deliveries should be good lengthish with a slight misture of timely shorth pitched ones ... He was good at his reflexes so I guess Yorker or full length pitched deliveries were there for him asking for punishments ..So what was the perfect length that Steve faced that time ?
btw what the OT thing .....

It was just short of a good length, hence the ball hitting the top of the off-stump. It's the length that you're unsure whether to go forward or back for.

Lol I knew you were 10, otherwise that Under 18 cricket thing may have been a bit misleading.vic_orthdox said:
I just though I'd bring up afterparties, since they often disappoint. You're at Melb Uni anyway right?I heard good things about this year's Comm ball, but I missed it (resulting in much bagging from many mates), and I missed the Law one this year as well. One can say I've had a ball-less 2006.

Yeah, at Melbourne. I had bought a ticket, helped organize a table and everything, then had to on-sell my ticket. Spewing. Everyone seemed to have an awesome time. Fairly shattering...Jono said:Lol I knew you were 10, otherwise that Under 18 cricket thing may have been a bit misleading.
