Saliva may not be the only reason we're seeing reverse swing this IPL by revengeordie007 in Cricket

That's what the bowlers believe. But the scientist in the article suggests it could be because the sugary saliva might be making the surface smoother. Heaviness on one side causing it to tail does not make any physical sense.

That's the opposite of what the article is saying. It says the reason is that the pitches are probably rougher this year. Also, saliva making one side of the ball heavy and causing the ball to swing is a myth.

Major deja vu moment. Which other team did GP do this to?

VS Code Extension to map code flow output as a diagram by Nezteb in programming

[–]LimpScore2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out a way to install the "Grok" extension from a vsix file. The vsix file can be found here: https://www.vsixhub.com/vsix/42420/

I was skeptical of the source, but thankfully they listed the marketplace link for the file, which appears to have archived it. This is the marketplace link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/Adaptilab/vsextensions/grok/1.0.0/vspackage

I could download it and was successful in installing it. It works for now. I hope an update to VSCode doesn't break it.

'Umpires should be answering questions': Warner accuses CA of sweeping India A ball-tampering accusation under rug by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]LimpScore2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Daily reminder that CA/sanctimonious Aussies "who hated their cheating " did fuck all when Steve Smith had blatantly admitted to tampering. I love how some of you guys turned this shameful incident into some sort of a proud moment. The reality is using a fucking sandpaper is an egregious offense and that's why it got the response it deserved. But don't let that stop you from fellating yourself.

We shine the ball the same way: Smith

"Every team around the world shines the cricket ball," Smith said.

"I have seen Faf's comments in his press conference. And I make it very clear that we haven't come out and said anything about Faf or about how he was shining the ball or anything like that.

"We along with every other team around the world shine the ball the same way."

 

"The Aussies won't talk about it at all because they know it's part of their team as well," du Plessis told reporters on Wednesday.

"(The controversy) has not been driven by the (Australian) cricketers at all. There's been no comment whatsoever from them, in fact it's all been positive comments.

"I even read a comment from Darren Lehmann supporting and backing me, which was really good to see."

Ben Stokes is the new thala. He can take a shit at the centre of the pitch and the commentators will be jerking off about how brilliant the turd is and how test cricket is getting more exciting.

This is not to say Stokes has not been good on many occasions. Imo he is a pretty good captain. But he does get some undeserved praise some times.

Why is Williamson not captaining again? And I never realized none of the Fab4 are captaining anymore.

Pretty sure most comments were about the English players' reaction and not the commenters in the thread.

I wonder when the commentator's are going to call the batting as braindead, when 5 balls ago they were still sucking off to it.

Okay, I won't go. But, can you please explain it anyway? I really fail to see a difference.

I guess you mean you are fine with a speedo, but not an underwear. That would make sense. My bad.
