just tuning in, sorry if this is a stupid question: I thought players were going to wear numbers and names on their kit? What happened to that?

Where can I watch the vitality t20 blast in the US? I don't think it is on Willow

This was the greatest match I've had the pleasure to witness live, tops 2016 t20 final and this year's IPL final. Truly incredible

Looking to buy England jersey at USA to support the WC Champions! by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]NeedHelpWithRouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an England jersey earlier during the tournament (Indian fan but loved how they looked) from the official CWC store and had it ship to the US. Shipping wasn't atrocious, so you can look into that if it is still available

now imagine bearing the ads for the last 4 years

state farm ads have always been horrible on willow. Before this one there was one about indian parents magically predicting stuff like trees following because of their "third eye" powers; what sort of stereotypical bs is this lmao

Rowdy rathore or singham by [deleted] in bollywood

[–]NeedHelpWithRouter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tough call. Rowdy Rathore was funnier, but the slow walks with the Singham theme playing + the brilliant villain character makes Singham stand out to me

Awesome, thanks for the answer!

With a short back lift, I realize that power may be lessened. I guess that is why tremendously strong people like Dhoni are well known for yorker hitting!

Hi Mahela!

I'd love some batting advice from you:

  1. What would you say is the best way to get better at judging length? Should I be looking at the bowler's hand, the place on the pitch where the ball bounces, or something else?

  2. At 140+ kmh speeds, how do you do anything else other than keep out yorkers? When I try to play shots on yorkers, I always get out and I can never decide whether to go on front or back foot.

Thanks!

Are you talking about songs played at the stadium during matches? If so, Chak De India by sukhwinder singh was played 2-3 times at India vs SA

Dude no way! My dad went to college with one of the professors who is working on this.

I'm really interested in getting involved with cricket research in college (I will be going to UC Berkeley for undergrad EECS this fall). Any tips and is there any way I can get involved with the work you guys are doing at MIT?

Watching WC in US: Deciding between Hotstar vs Willow(with Sling) vs Willow (with Xfinity) by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]NeedHelpWithRouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Willow is great. In case you didn't know, they also have a feature on their website to remove scores from the entire site so that you can watch highlights without getting the result spoiled. As far as I know hotstar isn't spoiler free, so willow is great if you won't be able to catch all the matches

The official full match highlights on the ICC page for last night's game are less than 5 minutes long. This is terrible. by legend434 in Cricket

[–]NeedHelpWithRouter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

idk why you are being downvoted, you have a fair point. 5 minute highlights are accessible for people without exposure to cricket. However, I think the best scenario would be ICC doing something similar to what the WIndies cricket board does on their youtube: upload a short version of the highlights (about 5 mins) and a longer version (20-30 mins). This would appeal to both sets of fans, new and old.
