I was being ironic in saying "shoot me". That is all.

Anyway, this is crazy, and there's been a bit of it recently, so this'll be my last post on the matter.

hahaha....I just want you to know that there is a difference between irony and sarcasm.

And I do hope you really don't think I thought 'Oh Richard wants me to shoot him'

I agree, 'nuff said on this one

I broke my rule, but then... so what?

No, I didn't think said aforementioned.

(Was mildly tempted to post a :D smiley there, but resisted)

How does the action effect the likelihood of no-balls? :confused:
I would think someone who jumps a little more in the air has a higher likelihood of bowling no-balls. I have to admit I have never dissected Nel's action because I haven't felt the need to, but it seems like he just steams through without really propelling his body in the air too much. Seems harder to bowl a no-ball because he doesn't really have to time a jump.

Oh, yeah, certainly, the bigger the delivery stride the higher the likelihood of overstepping. But there are plenty of bowlers who don't jump, too, and not all bowl no-balls as rarely as Nel.
