Ahh, a game of Cricket requires way too much time and energy to set up. I'd much rather stick to my football skills. Unfortunately though, I dont know 22 fit people in my life, so I guess I'm going to have to stick to playing against the wall. :down:

Join a cricket team....:cheesy:

tape ball cricket....how the hell does that work...does the bowler have to stand very close?

Tape ball cricket? Wtf.










PS: Axl, you belong in the balls to you thread.

 

[HelterSkelter]

tapeball cricket : you wrap electric tape around a tennis ball and play cricket with it

 

[baggio]

Why would you want to do that?

 

[HelterSkelter]

to play cricket
its great for fast bowling though and this is one of the main reason why fast bowling has been our biggest asset over the years.

How does that help?

a ball with electric tap rapped around it is pretty quick,and as a large marjority of pakistanis play street cricket,the ball ends up seaming too which develops ball control and seaming abilities.You dont want be a batsman in tapeball matches unless you're a pinch hitter.Its not about style and grace when it comes to tapeball,its about the bowler wanting to bomb the batsman's stumps and the batsman wanting to hit the bowler out of the ground.though too much tapeball cricket can harm you once you start playing with proper cricket balls.If you want to develop your pace,tapeball cricket is where you want to be.

you serious? you guy's don't play tapeball cricket? That's weird.

 

[baggio]

Dont know about us guys. I speak for myself. Havent ever tried it. Maybe because even if I've played, its only been as a leg spinner and 4 down bat.

 

[HelterSkelter]

leg spinner?
nice.are you good enough to make anil kumble sweat for a place in the indian team?

 

[baggio]

Good enough but not bored enough.

World XI all set for the Aussies.

 

[Zé Tahir]

Time for them to get beat again. End of the Australian dynasty!

 

[baggio]

Speaking of Australians, what do you guys think of the Chappell vs Ganguly row?

 

[HelterSkelter]

id be on chapell's side.
i think dravid is a very good captain,and ganguly's form does not allow him to make the indian playing 11.he's blocking the way of some other young player.age is not on his side either.i think its about time the prince of caulcutta got back to county and got his form back.at 32,he's got another 4-5 left in him.but he needs to start scoring,soon.

and i didnt watch the austrial-world X1 match..but i heard the aussies whipped em!
