The philosophy of cricket.
That means I say controversial things that attempts to challenge the dominant paradigms in current cricket thinking. Yes. The paradigms.
I also try to say nice things about spinners.

Name That Bum # 18
Oh, little ones, it has been a long time before you have sharpened your wits on a pair of highly toned buns.
But it is time again. Tell me who this bum owns, and you get a prize. Good luck and good bumming.
Something about the body-language,the way the player is leaning so slightly to the left. Its not an exact science, but I'm willing to put a fiver down on it. At the very least, I'd say the player bowls or bats left.
Samir's comment was a good one, although wrong. On that excellent(!) program CricketAM we are being treated to a Brain and Brawn competition between cricket teams. Ramps, as the brawn on Surrey's team, chose to hold a heavy weight for as long as possible in his LEFT hand.
I have to say that anyone who had watched Strictly Come Dancing, where close ups are commonplace, would have recognised this view immediately.
Erm.. Andrew Flintoff?

ReplyDeleteMark Ramprakash, displaying his famous ramps.
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is, its a lefthander.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it's a left hander?

ReplyDeleteI've given up at the moment tbh, too many left-handers to choose from. Can we have a clue please Athiest?
ReplyDeleteSorry...away for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the right answer was indeed Mark Ramprakash!
Well donw Old Batsman!
