Err, if you've played cricket at any level higher than in your backyard, the above is simply not true. Close-in fielders must have spatial awareness and they demonstrate it every single day they are out in the middle.
Its utter BS to suggest that a wicketkeeper cannot tell the difference or sense that the guy is walking down the wicket rather than blitzing down it for a second run.
I don't care if McCallum or anyone swears that its impossible- they are simply being dishonest.
There you go again, telling people what they know or don't know.
Jeez, off the top of my head, so far you've made out that you're the world's foremost expert on ancient history, religion, Western racial attitudes, classical music, the Holocaust, being an international wicketkeeper, what level of cricket that CW posters have played, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
If you know such much about absolutely everything, why do you bother debating in these forums with a bunch of miscreants who are obviously nowhere your enormous intellect? More to the point, how do you even find the time to post when you must surely be spending every waking hour mopping up the last few morsels of human wisdom that you haven't already stored in that cavernous, ravenous, utterly insatiable and immaculate mind of yours?
On second thought - stay, O Great One. Share with us all that you know, so that we may someday become mere shadows of your towering, majestic, indomitable self. I prostrate myself at your feet, for only now do I see your splendour for all that it truly is.
