Shane Warne - Revolutions Per Second

[Gloucefan]

Does anyone have any idea how many revolutions per second Warne imparts on a normal legbreak delivery. Assuming he's going for maximum turn. Has this been measured?

see Richard about that, he conducted a 'highly scientific' survey on a load of spinners revs per second

Yeah, classic Richo. IIRC he reckoned he counted 70 revs per second or something, despite television using only 27 frames per second.

Good old Richard, now thats commitment.

Probably was counting between frames, tbh.

Love the way people make judgements without even knowing their facts here.

.....

Lol at the avatar.

 

[Richard]

Get a good look at it - if we lose in a few hours' time it'll be gone.

Yeah, I win my challenge with GIMH after tonight's game as well.

 

[Richard]

Being?

First post of the challenge thread. If England don't make the semis which he later narrowed down to the final, I get to change his avatar.

 

[Richard]

Cripes, I know Martyn's optimistic, but he must really not care about his avatar...

BTW - was yourself and Amir's transformers the result of a challenge, Rodgie-esque copycat movement, or a collusion?

 

[pasag]

I had it first, he copied.

how ironic!!

Which are?

 

[Richard]

Was principally referring to Swervy and DB's comments about the FPS ratios of TV cameras - which were incorrectly quoted here and also fail to note the fact that such cameras are no longer exclusive entities.

If he said Black was White and was questioned on it, he'd still argue he was right...

He's often accused of such, but I'd imagine most people would be the same. If he said black was white in the first place, he obviously would have had a reason to do so and points to back that opinion up.

Anyone who makes a statement obviously believes it at the time they make it, so if they are questioned on it, they will naturally argue it. Richard IMO does have a problem viewing his predictions and views with hindsight and changing them as new evidence emerges, however he seems over-criticised of this fact to the point where he even cops flak for defending his own statements within immediate timeframes.
