2011 Melbourne Boxing Day Test Brett Lee bowling to AFL stars Shane Crawford and Campbell Brown on the cricket show................ jonathan brown, andrew mccullough
When I was around 13 or 14 there was a guy that was already bowling in the 110 km/h range. He was 14 himself and ended up playing with the 18-year olds. I shit my pants every time I had to go in to the nets and face him. He was a bugger though as he knew we were scared and would move away, so he always pitched it in to us.
2 things bro..if your reflexes are good you practice everyday. you can play them. second thing in nets most fast bowler bowls huge no balls. during match they have to bowl legal deliveries plus you have side screens that makes a huge difference.
Scrub Douglas he would do that even if he had room. most bowlers do it in the nets because they are more worried about rhythm than bowling a no ball. I've seen it countless times at many different levels.
Not great if you’re batting and they are a metre and a half over the front line. That’s got bugger all to do with rhythm it’s cheating cowardly and dangerous. Also worthy of a punch in the mouth
I cant believe they didn't wear a Helmet and other protective gear during the time of Bradman and faced Fast Bowling........... Bradman is truly GOD OF CRICKET!!
They were no where near as quick as they were today. People who didn't wear helmets against the great West Indies side or against Thompson and lilee on the other hand have done well
Kaleb Gilhooly yes they were Larwood is one of the fastest ever easily faster than most players today what makes people any faster today they were easily as fast back then
+Romi Gupta And my guess is you're Indian. Oh my what a surprise. Let me explain something to you. My nationality is totally irrelevant. I love the game of cricket and am am a fan of many players regardless of where they are form. The same is often not true of Indian and Pakistanis. Try to relax with the patriotic zeal. It's boring.
cquilty1 Where are you from? Well, your observation is correct, I'd say. But your dismissive comment ain't. I'd like to call your attention to the socioeconomic strata that most Indians and Pakistanis come from.
I clean bowled Crawford first ball of a game at the Willow fest many years ago. He never thanked me for allowing him to read the paper that day ... and hasn't improved at all in that time!
Why these batsman not doing initial forward movement before delivery... That's why they missed out the balls.. The technique is to keep eye on the ball to last moment
Utterly stupid and life threatening. You will never see them doing anything this reckless after the tragic death of Phil Hughes. If a quality test player can get hit and killed, these noobs were literally risking their lives.
I would happily face him. Probably get out. I play domestic cricket. I reckon i would make 30-40 before i got out to him. I have faced akhtar playing for Berkswel in the Birmingham cricket league. He took 4 wickets and made 64 runs. He was bowling at about 70% i reckon
Wasim Akram retired from cricket (1st class) in 2003. He played a few games for Smethwick in the Birmingham League. I got promoted when one if the first team openers at my club "couldn't make our game" against them. O got promoted from the 2nd team to open. It was an experience....i can tell you!!!! ( I top scored with 43, and got out to a pie chucker 😂😂😂)
Don’t get me wrong Brett is a legend. But what is the point of training if your not training like it’s an actual game. There is no point bowling no balls in the nets if you can’t bowl them in an actual game
I don't get it, what is the bad side to it? You can run up with less space, you can learn to not worry about the line and just thinking about repeating your run up and action until it becomes second nature, and it is more of a challenge for the batsmen because it gets their reflexes going with a shorter time between release and the ball getting to them.
Hughesey shield game was accident, the worst place , still shivering from that news.. pace wasn't a factor, sean abott was doomed..tait, lee, starc, mj are faster
Shane Crawford was a gun player but no where near one of the all time greats. Gary Ablett Srn, Wayne Carey and Leigh Mathew's are some of the all time greats, Shane Crawford is no where near that level.
300 AFL Games, Brownlow, All Australian, Premiership player - doesn't need to prove himself to flogs like you or compare himself to anybody else, that's a magnificent career.
