Re: "The Gentleman's game"- Cricket - World Cup 2019 Special

I don't understand Cricket.

You hit big, its a great shot, you hit big, miss and get out, its a shit shot (Framed as bad shot selection, No need for that, what is he doing or he'll be disappointed with himself). 90% of dismissals lead to questions at the batsman as to "Why?"

I really don't get it.

I really don't get it.

That's why it's one of the most complex games to play despite how simple it may look to people watching.

You can take that line and place with it most WI current batsmen and it won't be out of the ordinary.

6 runs in 8 balls. There is absolutely no need to hit that. It was a slow ball and short length. It was a bait ffs

But Brath knows no other way to play.

RG, every single man or woman who has ever put a bat in their hand knows this. But these men like to see themselves in the highlight reel hitting these shots as winners. And as you rightfully said, that's how Brath plays.

Our ranking in cricket is too generous atm.

T20 is your playground and it shows why.

old man gayle hitting 70 in 20 balls when he is 41 (:

by Doc Sat Jun 22, 2019 10:38 pm

It has taken me a long time to accept but we are just a T20 team. This test and ODI life is for teams that actually wanna play cricket.
