ok, me and my brother just had a go. Me measured out a 20m pitch (pretty much normal length) with a tape measure and set bowling distance to 18m, so that we could bowl on a full/yorker length like we might on a normal pitch. It was really hopeless. At least half the balls got impossible readings (e.g. 10kph or 190kph), and even the more realistic readings ranged between 75kph and over 120kph. My brother could hardly crack 50kph, and he is 14 and really not *that* slow. Whenever I tried to bowl spinners I kept on bowling in the 30s, even when pushing them through quite flat, although sometimes out of the blue they would be in the 60s and 70s which seemed more realistic. Overall I've learnt nothing and am left wondering what exactly the point is.
