His game looks to have regressed for mine, especially his game against the spinners. He's also become very loose outside off-stump recently too, infact I can't remember a single ball he left during his innings yesterday, he was trying to play at everything. That probably just comes down to playing so much limited overs cricket recently though, I hope so anyway. But yeah his play against spin in the last 6-12 months just doesn't look as fluent as it once did.
People who are often bemused by the predicted paths often bemuse me because their usual justification is "Oh, it looked to me like it was going further down leg than they predicted" without really taking it any further. Beyond "Oh, it's just me gut telling me what's what" how can you justify it? The prediction of the path is done using computations and tracking. It's no doubt been tested to be accurate in a lab & in the field. It's probably subject to scrutiny, there are 2 providers, I would assume if one were inaccurate the other would should it from the rooftops.
They obviously don't understand it then.
Does that mean BCCI understands players more than anyone else?
Would take some special batting or bowling for the Kiwis to be batting anywhere near lunch. South Africa are spectacularly awful at upping the rate in declaration chases. New Zealand getting an awkward period before tea is the most likely scenario, but it wouldn't surprise me if South Africa batted til tea either.
Don't think we need to up the rate massively tbh as its not that easy on the slow pitch when you come at the ball.
Well, that settles it then.
Welcome back friend.Well, that settles it then.
ftr I reckon the replays showed the Bracewell/Rudolph one pitching exactly where the DRS said it did. Hardly surprising really since that's what the thing's there for and it's not exactly rocket science to get it right.
Still have no idea why you're using player criticism of the DRS to suggest that the DRS is not accurate. You've got as much information in front of you to formulate a reasoned opinion as they do. It seems self-evident to me that it should be a pretty straightforward piece of technology to implement and use accurately.
Leaving 300-350 even against NZ would be dangerous and a gamble. You can't rely on the weather to wipe out x overs.
Scared of that number 1 position are we
Needs to be kept away from T20 cricket - as per Simon Doull.
