OK Folks! The next time you look at a cricket match pay attention to batsmen who average 50+ in tests and batsmen who average 40+ or 30+. You'll notice a huge chasm between 50+ batsmen and the lesser batsmen. Maybe you have already noted the difference between the 2 classes of batsmen. What are the differences you have noticed ?




OBSERVATION:

* Batsmen averaging 50+ seem to have more time playing deliveries---whether its from quicks or spinners.

* Batsmen averaging 50+  are rarely hurried by bowlers.

* Batsmen averaging 50+ look more solid at the crease against any kind of bowlers.

* Batsmen averaging 50+ look more balanced.

* Batsmen averaging 50+ play their shots later than the lesser batsmen.


What do you folks say ? True or false ?

Any other observation ?

True !

especially with reverse swing, the later the better !

That is why Shiv left Not Out to this new Shami dude !

Also the approach to the Middle :

the Confident walk , the taking of guard , the look around at Field placement

and the signal to Umpire that he is Ready for ball 1 ...

Lara , Shiv, Sachin , Ponting , Waugh.....recently Amla and Michael Clarke !

tl;dr version: Batsman who average 50+ are technically sound and confident. Because they are.. really good.
Why wouldn't anyone agree with that?

BTWthis is questionable though.

Ketchy:

Pay close attention to Shiv the next time he bats---he looks ugly when he sets up---but the bhai rarely gets hurried---he always seem to have more time----and always looks comfortable at the crease. Oh! That's right! Shiv is a 50+ batsman---he averages 51.89 after 149 tests----that's higher than Ponting's 51.85 after 168 tests.


By the way, Shiv made a huge mistake here---he miscalculated big time---even 50+ batsman make errors. ;D

Otis has no choice but to praise the great man---the great man is being praised from all corners of the cricket world.

He(Otis) played a big part in dropping the great man from onedayers, and if he had his way the great man would have been discarded from tests. So the Rev doesn't pay heed to Gibson.

By the way, after Shiv was dropped from the onedayers the Rev stooped supporting the WI in that version of the game---hope India slaughters them in the upcoming onedayers.

But as long as Shiv plays tests---I will support the WI in tests.

That was a rare error in judgment by the great man---he totally forgot where his off stump was.  Maybe he fell asleep for a millisecond.  ;D hahaha

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
