Although it seems like a silly tactic when they''re pitching short, you've got to admire the line of the bowlers here! Hitting the cracks is harder than it looks.
@Psychedelian yeah you right but what wicket keeper will stand up to such a pitc a ball could just take off and hit im the face... its dangerous all round for the batsmen and keeper
wow.... if i was told i'd have to be facing up to Shaun Tait on that I wouldnt go out to bat. Indeed I would leave the oval out the back door, go back to my hotel and watch some tv.
I know a lot of people would be concerned for the batsman- but as a wicketkeeper, the pitch is my worst nightmare. The first ball, full outside off, moves 6 feet sideways before it reaches the keeper. Or one the balls that starts on middle and ends up around gully- and gets called byes. Long day at the office.
That is a joke...absolutely unplayable!! It reminded me a bit of the scenes of the twelfth man where the ball hits joe the camera man when pokes his head up for a look lol
