Is that the second wrongly called no-ball today (when it was a legal delivery)?

Windmill Hut posted:Is that the second wrongly called no-ball today (when it was a legal delivery)? Yep. But Bird doesn't need to bowl so close to the line. I don't understand the modern bowler's insistence to come so far forward with their front foot. It's asking for no balls.

Some good shots being played here by the SL players, loving glorious pull by Jayawardene an over or two ago. I like Bird's bowling, not only does he remind me of Stuart Clark with his action and consistent length, but it just looks like he bowls a heavy ball - hits the bat hard. Good stuff. One thing I do like about the Nine commentary is Healy's critique of Wade's keeping - I know he's a fuckwit but also he was the best keeper.

He was the best actual keeper I've seen play for Australia. Gilly will always make all time best sides ahead of him on his batting but Healy was the better gloveman. Especially keeping to Warne.

Darren Berry was the best keeper in the world for 10 years and his failure to win a test cap is one of this nations greatest sporting tragedies.

Windmill Hut posted:THE BIG BIRD Depends if you're playing with hard hands or soft hands mainly, with a loose grip on a defensive push, a faint nick can be really hard to feel. But when you're playing a proper shot with a strong grip you feel everything. I guess it also depends on if you double up your grips, use inner gloves, etc. I use one quite thin grip and no inner gloves, some people use two of those big thick octopus style grips which increase the thickness of the handle and lighten the pick up of the bat, but also add extra shock absorption. tl;dr: depends on the player.

Yeah, usually you'll know unless you hit something else on the way through. Then again, I normally play with no inner gloves and single grip

On a side topic (and shut me up if this has been brought up recently), surely it can't be long now until a cricketer breaks the gender divide? At the very least at state level if not soon First Class.

If you knick it, even the faintest edge, do you always feel it in your hands? Basically, yes you feel it. There are variables, as explained, but anything loud enough that the slips and umpire will hear, you definitely feel.

I wonder if they will move Hussey up a few spots to get a hit tomorrow (it isn't usually done though)?
