Group C - New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada

[legglancer12]

If there's one thing I've learned since coming to the UK, it's that UK commentators only comment on UK players. When Bond got a hattrick and when he passed 100 wickets they still completely left him out during the post-match pundit talks.

I remember the days when commentary teams discussed both teams, oh I do...

Not unlike NZ commentators ..... IMO

Off topic again but Kallis just got 3 6's off last 3 balls of the innings.

And Boucher a mere 75 off 31 (quicker than Gibbs' 70 odd)

I don't know, a lot of Taylor's best innings in his short career have been based on a slow start. I think in his first hundred against Sri Lanka, he had only 2 after about 20 balls.

That was batting first, though.

Richard, honestly, when you get in this mode it really is quite silly. If you're not prepared take someone who watched his entire career's word for it then I can't see the point in continuing the argument.
(That doesn't mean you've won the argument btw, it just means I'm bored with your stubbornness)

I'm not prepared to take the word of the human eye - how much of the bowling that eye has watched is not important.

I wish someone could give us some conclusive evidence.

350 off 40 overs!

Poor old Steuls and Taz...

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez, you know the bowling is bad when Kallis scores at quicker than a run a ball.

I don't use this emoticon at all having read this book that was recommended, (thanks pasag), but here it is:

Or that he's just not playing seriously.

Haven't watched anything other than the odd stroke from that game but I'd imagine it'd be the same as that Zimbabwe series a little while ago.

 

[Fiery]

Styris in rare touch here. Keep in going for another 100 runs please boys

 

[Richard]

You overrate the capabilities of the human eye IMO - I've said it before (a good couple of years ago, as I remember).

I know that the optic nerve attaches it to the brain

 

[Richard]

So do most - but it doesn't enable it to accurately determine the speed of a cricket ball.

You're talking about the movement the roll-eyes is able to produce right?

oh shut up and watch the game

I sometimes watch some bowlers like Bond bowl and think wow that was quick and it sometimes is around 130 kph instead of 142-46. Don't trust your eyes. I thought mine were perfectly fine until I went to the optomotrist

Thanks for the advice but mine are good. I trust them implicitly...they help me with things like driving

 

[PY]

Hmm, I was quite happy with Fleming out. I'm big time worried now!

 

[Natman20]

I drove before I had glasses, how terrible thinking about it

 

[Natman20]

Im not going to make any predictions because hte game of cricket is un-predictable

Well it is truly remarkable by the standards of vBulletin forums, yeah. No other smiley has such a high standard of eye-movement.
