Sad sad sad day.......two heroes gone. Two talented passionate men......still remember that ball to Gatting like it was yesterday.

I’m sure Gatting remembers it like it was (always) today.

Amazing spin

Amazing spin

There were others who spun it even more, but Warne was the master of getting into the batsman's head. Good section on him and other spinners in Amol Rajan's* book 'Twirleymen', which is a great treatise on spin bowling.

*Yes, that bloke off the telly.

Sad news indeed! I heard about it at 2.15 this aft' I was intending to be the first to post about it on CC, but couldn't think of a suitable thread title. When someone famous passes away it's always difficult to think of a respectful thread title. 🤔

Yeah, I know but I thought something a bit different was needed.🤔

Very sad news.
I don't think any cricket fan will forget the amazing bowl that got Gatting out.

Blimey I thought when I first read about, that can’t be right, but it was.
There will be a few tinnies raised in their memory down under tonight.
RIP.

One of the greatest cricketing mind, something that many are not aware as his bowling took centre stage.

The perils of weight watching, RIP in Shane.

I don't know much about cricket, so what is a 'cricketing mind'?

Knowing the game.
Tactics, field placing, winning the toss, bowling changes, going ’after’ a bowler, psychology, mind games, sledging etc.
