Honestly I’m not super sure, the main difference is Sydney and Melbourne I believe tend to be a little more humid. They also get far more rain outside of winter. As seen by the SCG test losing days to rain every year. Gold Coast is just more humid and generally hotter. I’d say the place we’re...

Nope, outside T20s Pink ball in whites, still play if the synthetic is damp. We mostly only get (consistent) rain here in WA for 2 or 3 months during winter so there’s a good few months during autumn and spring where you can get cricket it. Even during winter we get dry weeks that are awesome...

I am, winter cricket [emoji106]

It was off 54 balls in a T20 and the other team started calling me Dravid. Jokes on them because I’d be honoured.

I’ve just started up some T20s too. They’re always good fun. Just made a career best score of 48 opening the batting. Hit my first official 6 in my 4 years of playing cricket [emoji28].

I guess you could get them playing around it too if you’re turning a few onto the pads. Bowl one straight that skids on and they play inside it a bit thinking it’s going to turn down the leg side.

Not left handed, can’t bowl a flipper and am also not a leg spinner. But I’d imagine it would still be good for getting chop ons from people trying to pull/slog you and outside edges from people trying to defend you off the back foot. Not as useful as to a batsman of the same handedness but it...

Do any of you have training sessions where you just forget how to bowl spin. I went to the nets with someone yesterday and was just bowling straight breaks with no top spin or turn. Just could not get it right. Felt weird bowling too. Was bowling my meds nicely though lol.

Yup, great variation. Even Nathan Lyon who notoriously has no variations learnt it at some point in his career and uses it effectively now.

It’s way easier to do as an offie, but from my experience trying to do it as a leggy you kind of need to open your hand up and go around the back of the ball. Really hard to do though. Also my Tapatalk works now

Physics ATAR and dash of boredom

Alright so here it is: So as the air hits the rotating ball, the side rotating with the flow (bottom) allows the air to quickly pass over the ball and because of physics, fast air has a lower pressure. The airflow that hits the side rotating against the airflow slows it down and causes it...

Idk whats doing it, but everything loads fine up until that message and then it gives me some kind of string error. Its working on my browser so idk lol.

I think something in Leggy88’s last post has broken my Tapatalk app whenever I try to open this thread. It might be the image. Also I got busy so I haven’t done it yet haha. I’ll do it this afternoon.

It’s very hard to explain in words without making a 3000 word essay and I’m a little busy for an hour or so, but I’ll make you some nice drawings to explain how I *hypothesise* with a large amount of certainty how drift and its interactions work.
