I watched that disaster finally and wtf was with the feet of the Thunder players? It was like they were all glued to the pitch. Every wicket was from a batsman planted like a fucking tree with very deep roots.
Trevor Bayliss batting approach.Strong base, hit through the ball idea use all the power from the hips he has used that for a while.
Baseball style hitting its used a bit over here but it was not executed very well and you can only do it to length balls or back of the length stuff as soon as it is forward of a length you can not get enough leverage to hit it far.Dumb theory. Have they not seen the % rate of baseball players actually connecting properly? And that’s with the knowledge that the ball has to go into an area.
It works very well when executed correctly,Glen Maxwell and Glen Phillips are great exponents of it,every top 20/20 player hits big that way and have used it for a few years now.Brendan McCullum used it and I see England are now batting that way it at test level.
But you have to pick the right ball like any shot.
Thats why they are hitting further you generate more power and hit further and in more area's.All about the power base no base you can't hit anything very far.
It has revoultionised the 20/20 game,
when you have hit a ball using this technique you really understand the concept and the improvement in your range hitting.But it's still six if you land it 1m over the boundary, same as if you hit it 90m.
Risk and reward I suppose.
Sure but by using the hitting technique and increasing distance by up to 20 metres the miss hit now can go for 6 instead of being caught near the boundary.And you can reach the bigger boundaries easier.
You can hit with more power square and straight which you could not reach the boundary before.
You can also hit one of the most difficult shots 6 over cover much easier.
As you say less Risk for more reward.Well, big risk if you're all out for 15. But I get your concept.

Cant get caught if you use good footwork and get your foot to the pitch of the ball. You'll only score about 70 off your 20 overs, though. But at least you'll have another 8 wickers in hand for the afternoon session.
That’s why you pick your balls to do it. Planting and swinging at everything never lasts long.

Shot selection is the key,As we are not talking about using this technique every ball that is like saying you are cover driving every ball.It is your 6 hitting option.

the mankad is out of control
annoying twink Adam Zampa tried one last night, in a similar vein to others i have seen, where they actually get all the way through their action but don't let go of the ball, then turn around and whip the bails off. It's shit cricket, and at least the annoying little shit wasn't rewarded.
Look, i was a bowler, and i too hate that the game is skewed towards batsmen. And there should be recompense for them leaving their crease early. But if, under normal playing conditions, you leave when the ball should have left the hand, that's not early, that's allowable. Not letting go of the ball is shit cricket.
in short, fuck off Zampa you overly emotional little git. oh and you're team lost. suck shit
-
@mariner4life I was at the game last night and it was interesting that it was 80%+ Stars supporters but when Zampa came out to bat the boos were loud as.
I don’t think the crowd liked his mankad stunt.
Stars batting was dumb.

The BBL has been pretty good this season
Adelaide just runs down 230 to beat Hobart. Great chase

@Duluth Colin Munro going well. CDG Boult and Guptill pretty average.
Park Cricket Colin is going okay. Nothing big but he's playing a decent role in the middle.

David Warner was surprisingly good in the commentary box tonite in a one sided match. And AJ Tye was very amusing in the post match interviews for mom. Great to see the player personalities coming through and insightful stories from within the camps.
I wish we could replicate this stuff in NZ cricket and rugby. I am sure there are lots of players who could shine and promote the game and its personalities and drag in more fans.

Good little prelim final last night
A tricky, sticky little low slow wicket in Sydney allowed the Heat to strangle the Sixers to 116/9
Which, with their pretty average batting lineup, was still a tough chase. And it took Michael Neser score nearly a quarter of the runs in the game to get them home
So the Heat have gone from basically the bottom at the near half way mark, to making the Final
Where Perth will most probably destroy them

Is Bazley the worst player in the comp?
Can't buy a run. Can't bowl.
