He's sometimes a pretty sharp analyst and i assume we'll see that side of him outside the channel 9 box.

Been enjoying the World Cup so far but some of the finer points are still escaping me so I went and got a book called Cricket Explained. Going to sit and watch this match with the book and hopefully it helps.

Mate you don't need some fancy book, you have a panel of experts ready to post right here, and I don't believe we have ever been wrong

I agree with Warnie. Ravi should be batting at 3 and bowl 10 overs.

Cricinfo, never stop being a BCCI mouthpiece

quote:

Boult to Ballance, no run, big lbw shout but it isn't given by Rod Tucker. Ballance has moved too far across as Boult ones straight with the angle. McCullum has a chat with Boult, and reviews it. Just short of a length, pretty straight, Ballance has moved too far across and is caught in front. But it is bouncing over, as the replays suggest. NZ lose the review. It serves them right too because these milimetre calls is not what DRS is for

Commentary is weird. Radio is saying the ball is doing nothing and the blog is saying its swinging and seaming.

They showed the swing map on Moeen's ball and it was about 2 feet.

Non-cricketer spotted.

Southee is swinging it, Boult isn't.

The yorker was made more effective because he was stuck in a short ball setup, on the crease and with a high backlift.
