Cricket things that annoy you

these India cross promotional links in the Cricinfo commentary:

(example) Chess is as individual as a sport gets, right? Well, two teams from India went about proving that chess as a team sport can be pretty exhilarating. This is the story of how India's men's and women's teams did something unprecedent to announce their country's domination of the chess world.

The annoying thing about Indian English is how it’s so close to being right yet so far away at the same time. And I always get the sense that the slight blemishes have been baked in to the way of speaking such that it becomes a standard linguistic register, isn’t it.

“Some of them sound like questions, some of them sound like swear words. You can’t expect a man to analyse the game, commentate and then analyse three quarters of the alphabet and get a bloody name out it it. It’s just ludicrous” Bill was a true progressive thinker

To be pedantic but fast bowlers do not have 10 times their body weight going through their foot. It's not mathematically possible.
If Starc say weighs 90kg than that's 90kg of weight he doesn't suddenly have 900kg of weight just because his bowling.
It has a greater gforce if he sprints and jumps through the crease but his weight is the same. He's just harnessing that weight to greater force.
I dropped a 20kg weight on my foot from knee height the other day it didnt do as much damage as say if I dropped it from above head height which would break it due to the impact of gravity and momentum. It's still the same 20kg falling just at a different force.

90kg is mass. Weight is a force.

His weight is 882N (or kgm/s■2). They're saying there is a force of ~8000N through their leg.
