  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Viv Simply the Best by Stephen Richards Why Everybody Wanted to Be ‘King of Cool’ Viv Richards
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Viv Simply The Best by Stephen Richards Why everybody wanted to be ‘King of Cool’ Viv Richards. For the West Indian great, little seemed to faze him. He’d hook a bouncer off the nose on his helmetless head so easily bowlers would wish they’d never got out of bed. He’d chew his gum, adjust the chain around his neck and settle his broad shoulders over his hefty bat before looking past the umpire at the next fool to try his luck. If I’m honest, Viv was my man crush. Watching him swagger, chew and never flinch was genuine cricket porn. I imagined him at a bar, resting on his elbow, a rum punch in one hand as a crowd of beauties were swatted away as if they were Derek Pringle half volleys. The bloke, I imagined, could pull at will – again, ask a Pringle long hop. I’m not the only lad that gazed in awe at a man that should have been the enemy. As a young English kid, hoping my team would win, Richards ensured they didn’t. But he was the man I pretended to be when I stood in front of a mirror and made clicking noises as the hapless Pringle was sent to all corners of the bedroom. In school matches there was little point trying to emulate the coolest of Caribbean cricketers. A skinny little white kid with an upturned collar and buttons undone to his navel would have been a laughing stock. You can’t be calypso cool if you desperately want to fit in.

  • 6 a Taste for More
    6 A TASTE FOR MORE Leaving Sabina Park after the game against Zimbabwe the boys were enjoying their first taste of big time cricket – and we wanted more. The twenty-minute bus ride back to the hotel saw Ireland’s Call sung several times and I gave my customary loud rendition of Aru Cha Cha. Arriving back at the team hotel and I continued what had developed into a routine of shaking hands with our security man, Big D, and he would reply ‘Respect, One love’. Sky Sports, RTÉ, Newstalk and a huge sub-continental press contingent were there: ‘Can you guys win this group?’, ‘Is this a flash in the pan?’, ‘What’s next for Ireland?’, ‘Will the team party hard tonight?’ Once it was over I sat down just in time to watch the highlights of the Zimbabwe game. While I had been involved in televised games before it was very strange watching myself on the replay, possibly because of the amount of camera time that I was given. It made an impression on me and from then on I was more cautious about my on-field behaviour. That night, JB and I had a couple of beers watching the highlights of our game again, as well as those of Sri Lanka v Bermuda. Poor Bermuda were given a lesson, losing by 243 runs. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara had gone to town on their attack, while the Sri Lankan bowlers looked like they were playing against club cricketers. It wasn’t a great advertisement for the so-called ‘minnows’.

  • The Science of Swing Bowling-1
    The science of swing bowling Rabindra Mehta September 6, 2006 Conventional swing, reverse swing, contrast swing. In the past few years cricketers have been barraged with new and convoluted descriptions of a ball's deviation through the air, but only the select few can differentiate between each, let alone unravel the science behind them. One such man is Rabindra Mehta, a NASA scientist and former club fast bowler based in California, who has studied cricket-ball aerodynamics for nearly three decades. Here, in response to an article published at Cricinfo last week, he gives the definitive answer to the mysteries of swing. Does it really matter what you call a particular type of swing? Well, it matters because the science dictates what type of swing it is. Of course, bowlers do not have to know or understand the science, but I'm sure they would appreciate knowing when a certain type of swing will be effective and in which direction the ball is likely to swing. Having studied cricket ball aerodynamics for over 25 years, my mission here is to reveal the answers to all the mysteries surrounding swing bowling, and hopefully, to quash once and for all, all the myths and erroneous explanations that are still floating around the cricketing world. To assure you that these three types of swing do actually exist, and are regularly practised on the cricket ground, I have quoted examples from the famous 2005 Ashes series between England and Australia. Let us first look at some of the fundamental flow physics that will help to explain all three types of cricket ball swing.
