I think you’ve accidentally posted a video of Ricky Ponting there, Sam.

That’s as ridiculous as anything on these pages of late, which has been fairly ridiculous.

“…Sam Glass – John’s older brother – picked up his first wicket before dismissing Hunter and Cregagh captain Aaron Johnston to complete a hat-trick, an achievement he probably assumed at the time would earn family bragging rights.”

Brings to mind the famous “at least I’m the best player in my family” sledge (the ridiculous J. Ormond).

Can’t have one without the others. But the last one’s the clincher, innit. Blend that with the mechanics of Livingstone’s and you’re pretty much there.

Or maybe all six of them combined

Regardless of one particular ball, I have been really impressed by Matt Parkinson’s white ball bowling of late. He seems to have kicked on to the next level and I do hope that progress continues.

Following the progress of a young spinner as their craft unfolds is one of the most fascinating things in cricket. It is usually a long, drawn-out process and is hardly ever straight line progress.

He has a 12.1% chance.

The ball span 12.1 degrees!! Surely that puts him in contention for the LMCOG this year to some extent.
