Are you sure it's not the fact that you have to watch Morkel bowl?

? don't mind lobster. bit of a wierdo but enjoy tall guys who dig it in like he does

 

[Valer]

Morne really isn't tall tho...

 

[wpdavid]

I'm pretty sure that there's a law that says that as a batsman, if a bowler's ready, then you are (within reason, ofc).

I think you're right. Certainly someone on cricinfo agrees with you.

Apparently Morkel was running in regardless in his last over, and quite right too imo.

6'5/6" not tall enough?

I just back away if someone bowls (or serves for the same rule in tennis) before I'm 100% ready.

Yeah, wtf.

 

[wpdavid]

btw who is likely to open instead of Petersen if SA have to bat again?

Nah sub 2.0 is short.

trott is ridiculous though if he pulled away I'd follow him

It's more etiquette than a hard and fast rule.

I would think most likely Rudolph.

No not Tremlett or Finn tall, he was stood next to KP earlier and looked around the same height as him give or take, 6 5" ish, still tall.

As the resident height policeman I have been alerted to this post and must advise you that yes, Morne is most certainly tall. Consider yourself officially warned.

Good luck with that, but if the rules say it's up to the batsman to be ready when the bowler starts his run then it might not be the best strategy, especially if given Trott's track record. I wouldn't blame the bowler for keeping on running in and bowling to Trott anyway. Perhaps after a warning that he intends to do that as a matter of courtesy.

have to be you'd have thought.

Of course. No idea why I forgot about him.

Wait till Morkel stands next to Taylor.
