Pencil Cricket: May 2014

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, 4 May 2014. Well today saw one of the worst decisions in any game Ive ever played. Since I have a very strict policy of not arguing with umpiring decisions, one can deduce that the umpire in question was me. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). At the start of 2010 I was inspired to pick up a bat again for the first time since I left school 10 years earlier, so this blog is intended to be a journal of how I get on in the lower levels of English club cricket.

Pencil Cricket: Decisions, decisions...

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2014/05/decisions-decisions.html

Sunday, 4 May 2014. Well today saw one of the worst decisions in any game I've ever played. Since I have a very strict policy of not arguing with umpiring decisions, one can deduce that the umpire in question was me. Should I have given it out? Well that's really two questions. Was Chan out? Probably he was. But. Should an umpire give a batsman out without being sure? The laws are clear - he shouldn't. I wasn't sure, I sought additional information, I was still unsure. Not out. Too much doubt about it&#4...

Pencil Cricket: August 2014

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 24 August 2014. Oh captain, my captain. So at last, after four months, my team won a game. And what a game. A 136 partnership for the 9th wicket, and the final wicket falling with almost certainly 3 balls of the match left. If you don't believe me, here's the scorecard. However, there's one name you won't see on that scorecard - MINE. Our fearful trip is done;. The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;. The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,. I watched t...

Pencil Cricket: June 2014

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, 29 June 2014. The first third (and a bit). I thought I'd post a brief description of how the fifths have been getting on. In short, we've had very little luck with rain, and when we have played we've been getting beaten by some reasonably big margins. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cricket is life.

Pencil Cricket: April 2014

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, 17 April 2014. And so the campaign begins. I found an apt quote today, and given the team I'll be leading will probably lose more often than it wins I think I'll make it the team motto. It's from Baron Pierre de Coubertin. The founder of the modern Olympics:. The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well. Links to this post. Wednesday, 16 April 2014. Some advice for you Dave. The captain needs to watch the...

Pencil Cricket: Wrist-spin and the Magnus effect

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/p/magnus-effect-in-leg-spin-bowling.html

Wrist-spin and the Magnus effect. Having looked at various websites and publications with sloppy descriptions of the aerodynamic forces involved in wrist-spin bowling, the one-time A-grade A-level physicist and wannabe aerodynamicist in me has forced me to have a go at describing these effects myself. The history of the Magnus effect. And there are some estimates that old unrifled firearms managed to hit their intended target less than 5% of the time. Heinrich Magnus is the person the effect is named aft...

Pencil Cricket: December 2013

http://pencilcricket.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Friday, 20 December 2013. It's getting to that time of year where the season gone and the season to come are equidistant, both seeming to be a long way away. It's right about now that my winter fever starts to bite, and so it was a couple of days ago I found myself practising shots and dusting off the Neville Cardus. I also picked up a second-hand copy of John Arlott. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cricket is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting". Some fun cricket ...
