He was actually taking the piss out of Daemon there, not you, because Finnigan got done for child porn. But it is indeed still ironic because Eloquentia asked you to post a video over on CS.How ironic that you post a picture of a bad-looking person up given you've admitted yourself that you're not a looker...
Why would you stand there?I was one of the main sceptics on cricsim about Prez's claims - for a few reasons. One was that he'd posted a picture of him bowling and the keeper was a few metres back, at most. I've done a bit of keeping (a bit more recently, mind you) and I stand a few (~2-3) metres back to bowlers who bowl 105ish (relying on an estimate here mind you) and it carries comfortably to me on a decent deck.
A lot of the blokes I come up against are experience lads (35+) who like to stand out of their crease to seamers. Standing further back means by the time I flick it back at the stumps, they're back in. I'll get a stumping a fornight off seamers by standing closer than I should just to do that.Why would you stand there?
If someone's bowling at 100-105, and you're not standing up, the ball will carry properly 7-8 metres through on English wickets - standing 2-3 metres back is still virtually on the cut strip, gives you no reaction times, and negates stumpings.
Maybe they're just even slower than you think.A lot of the blokes I come up against are experience lads (35+) who like to stand out of their crease to seamers.

Also, the ball doesn't carry that much - surprising given what you've said about English pitches and I'm in Australia. I don't struggling being that close... maybe it's just me, I guess. It's probably 4-5 metres back against the 105-110 lads, to be fair and 2-3 to the slightly slower ones.
Haha, nah. One of the fellas I've been netting with for years & has been clocked at 120. He's not played for a coupla years and remodeled his action hence the conservative estimate of 105 but I reckon it could be higher.Maybe they're just even slower than you think.
