Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 12-27-2022
I believe it's based on the alignment of the hips and has nothing to do with the upper body

Nortje seems to do it easy too, strolls in first ball at @147k, never looks In a sweat either and was doing laps of the MCG pre game in the heat. He is consistently the quickest bowler in the world by a long way and very fit as well. Think he clocked 155k yesterday in that heat at one stage which is scary stuff.
If he had a smarter captain who bowled him at the crunch times with good plans he would have even better results.
I think that's one of the key factors EB. South Africa has a great pace attack but they're not being given the opportunity to play to their strengths. Rabada isn't the bowler he was but his performance seems to set the stage for his teammates. Bringing him on first or second change, and with a plan, could get a lot more out of his bowling, particularly if Nortje and Jansen/Ngidi have knocked over an opener or two.

Looks like Elgar learned..opened with Nortje and instant results.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - DJC - 12-28-2022
How about spidercam knocking Nortje ask over t1t?
The operator has been suspended, and so he should have been.

Maybe a form of autonomous braking when getting closer to objects.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - cookie2 - 12-28-2022
Apparently the camera operator concerned has been stood down.

I didn’t realise that the camera/mechanism was so large. It would have to weigh 50-60kg and it moves at a fair clip.
After bowling like he meant it in those conditions, the last thing Nortje needed was to be assaulted by a flying camera. It is pure luck that he wasn’t seriously injured.

was rigged to go so low. It needs to be well above the tallest player(Jansen).
