Needs to close the face a tad, TBH.

Yeah, asking for trouble playing it like that.

age_master · 20-04-2009, 06:51 PM

Swinging it like a baseball bat

_Ed_ · 20-04-2009, 06:54 PM

Better effort than this, though.

Burgey · 20-04-2009, 07:02 PM

Anyway, even if Obama dominates, the fact he's picked up a cricket bat post-2000 means he can never be rated as a great player at all, according to many on these boards.

Matteh's cricket outfit of choice catching on something huge it seems.

Bearing in mind it's Lara who's teaching him. Poor example. Need to get Tendy in there ASAP.

very good point...

Looks like a natural right hander, who is just copying Lara.

Burgey · 20-04-2009, 09:04 PM

Also fair to say Obama is yet to prove himself in the subcontinent

Pratters · 20-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Hasn't proven himself in Afghanistan either.

Top_Cat · 20-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Good record in US. Explained by the fact he has a larger bat than other guys.

EDIT: Had to steal Pratter's original gag because my post wouldn't work otherwise. Kudos for the edit, though, Pratters!

Obama should be faimilar with cricket considering he spend quite a bit of time in Pakistan during his early days.
