Body-ma-line.

Nnanden · 20-05-2005, 06:43 AM

Keeping up with my insanely high number of recent Off-topic threads...

For my major history assessment this year, I`m doing stuff on the History of Cricket and Bodyline. This includes a video that I`m making on Sunday. In the video, my friends and I describe the basic rules of cricket, different bowling styles and Bodyline bowling.

1) Is there anything in particular you think should be included?

2) Help me with my assignment by posting helpful bits of information below. Ta.

All help much appreciated, thanks.

Wikipedia is excellent for cricket rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket

There is the MCC laws which may be referred to if you want to go into the specifics..

Regarding types of bowling styles :

Fast (categorised into different degrees like fast, fast medium ,medium fast etc)
Swing
Leg Spin
Off spin
Wrist spin
Chinaman

What I can think for the moment

Spot on.

I`ve got my fast, fast-medium, medium-fast, medium, leg-spin and off-spin bowlers. Good variety of friends eh?

Yeah, no left-armers, but my right-handed chums will suffice.

Websites like that please me mucho. Thanks a lot.

Much of the same would be awesome.

If there aren't flesh wounds and broken facial bones you haven't demonstrated bodyline well enough tbh.

Haha, I think my main problem at the mo is being serious with it... but cheers.

And Kasper, my friend has a resaonably fresh gash above his eye. SO I think we`ll work that into it...

Well, it`s pretty much done. The filming that is.

And it`s AWESOME!

Some very funny stuff, I consider myself a 'Videoing Expert' but I`m slightly biased, eh?

Still got some stuff to film on thursday (during the Athletics Carny

) but it`s all good. Prison Song never sounded so cool.
