How many balls does a batter need to face before they “get their eye in”

Depends on the conditions, form and mental approach …sometimes one ball, others never, its a case by case basis

 

[Neese]

I’ll back him in for 50+

It may be the tequila though

I am banned from tequila because it makes me get tattoos. I have some Grey Goose though.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

They say it is important to keep up your fluids....lol.

That’s what I tell her every Saturday lol

I recon it’s worked once

 

[Crimson Azure]

Lights on and off good for Marnus I think, gets him out of his own head for a bit.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Translation is that he was never going to bowl under lights so we prefer Jadeja in the field

The thing is the longer he stays off the longer he can't bowl.

 

[hawkman]

The thing is the longer he stays off the longer he can't bowl.

Would be claimed as an external blow so can bowl as soon as he comes on

 

[Cleavy]

The thing is the longer he stays off the longer he can't bowl.

expect them to waive that rule

Lol no comment

 

[western royboy]

The thing is we’ve got thru 20 overs with minimal damage

Hang on, I’ll go ask the missus…

 

[Andronicus]

I only climb on my horse - and all horses are high to someone my height - when I'm posting on the Cricket board.

I've backed up my claims multiple times. Did you read the posts you've quoted?

You seem like you've a tickled nerve. What specifically set you a'giggling?

I asked some simple questions. You haven't been able to answer them, then you got all high and mighty.

No nerve ticked except your own. As soon as you start getting personal, just give up.

India wasting the night conditions

 

[MJG14]

Lovely shot from McSweeney

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

MARNUS HAS REACHED DOUBLE FIGURES!

 

[TY24]

Outside of a sharp opening stint from Bumrah and Siraj, India have really wasted this new ball. A lot of swing but very uncontrolled and erratic.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Nooooooo Runnnnnnnn

 

[kickazz]

Poor footwork Marnus

 

[nobbyiscool]

Bloody Siraj is becoming the bane of my summer...

I mentioned during the last test that something about Mark Howard's voice resembles mine, causing Siri to constantly start answering random questions when Howard is calling footy or cricket. It happens up to 4 times during a game of footy, it might happen once per commentary spell on the cricket.

When Mark Howard is commentating Siraj? It's happening every friggen over he bowls, and I'm about to lose my mind

 

[PhatBoy]

True, but those are more external. Bowling a side out quickly is good cricket

I'm more thinking this: if it is proven long term that batting at night to a new ball is really shit, will teams think twice about wanting to get a side out?

But again that’s the same with lots of scenarios. In some Caribbean venues the winds and the humidity pick up in the afternoon and change the conditions so you have the same conundrum. It’s not new

'He's not gonna make no mistake dair'

Ohhhh boy. David Warner folks

I like Finch's commentary saying Marnus needs to stop searching for the ball, it takes one to know one Finch.

He also needs to stop getting his front pad in the way like Finchie, he is great at pointing out his weaknesses.

Do you also yell when something partially exciting happens?

 

[Gethelred]

I asked some simple questions. You haven't been able to answer them, then you got all high and mighty.

Wat?

When I was wrong, I accepted it and moved on. Did you not want me to do that? I even went and dug out the law of cricket definition, and it backed up what I said.

That's getting on your high horse, is it?

No nerve ticked except your own. As soon as you start getting personal, just give up.

I got personal?

You had the first crack at me, mate. If you don't like stones thrown in your direction, perhaps don't throw them in mine.

sounds harsh but Mcsweeney looks so poor as a opener, give me hunt any day of the week thanks
