OutByEaster? Posted August 18, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2019 I still make the Aussie's favourite to see this out, but the series is being changed by Archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I've mentioned on here before, I used to play cricket when younger (quite decent!). I once came up against somebody who could bowl at 90mph. I went from somebody comfortable batting to wondering how brown would look on white .

I think it might have been last winter in Australian domestic cricket, then incorporated into county cricket and recently Tests. This may be the first time in Tests but I'm not sure. It's only for concussions though. Edited August 18, 2019 by sharkyvilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s pathetic that the Aussies sent him back out to bat and were allowed to say it was a delayed concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I' m not being didactic about this; it is just my opinion that certain fast bowlers go out with the intention of hurting the batsman. I expect I am in the minority but if a batter is just beaten outside off stump or on the stumps for sheer pace then great bowling. But I have seen, over the years, bowlers who really seem to aim for the batsman's head. Thomo was one but was a tad wild and it could end up bouncing over the keeper for 4 ! Holding and Ambrose seemed (to me) to actually aim for the head. See Brian Close on YouTube. I don't know if you can equate it to football; for instance Peter Withe was a hard Centre forward but I don't think he ever intended (or actually did) hurt anyone. Fashnu on the other hand was simply a thug.(see Gary Mabbutt) . I guess you will never ban the bouncer though 'cos it is obviously a useful weapon in a fast bowlers armoury - I'm just not that keen.
