Like prowannabe's ,roco's  and johnny's batting . Nice to put a face to some of the names, funnily most of the mental picture of people didn't match them in reality lol. I put fletcheruk as a lot older by looking at the bats he made  :D

Sorry it took so long :(

Got fed up trying to do it on a knackered laptop with crappy free software, so bought a new laptop, some proper software and started again from scratch.

Lovely work boys, some serious hard hitting going on.....

Top editing as well, if I didn't know better I'd say all of you know what you're doing.... ;)

Great result for the CF I used the hosks and loved it....was this the same bat or a different one?

Title: Re: Northern Batoff - The Movie
Post by: Johnny on May 01, 2012, 09:29:02 PM
Yes, it was Mr Hosk's stick.

And yes, tried to make everyone look good in the vid :D I know that on my front foot session I personally spent most of the time playing and missing, and on the back foot Simmy pinned me once as well as getting me to chop onto the stumps
Title: Re: Northern Batoff - The Movie
Post by: PedalsMcgrew on May 01, 2012, 09:38:31 PM
I do believe I still have first dibs on that particular stick!  ;)

I was going to say Johnny that it looked like you were playing the ball really late....you looked good mate...

I've had approach from the official Batoff governing body...

Seems there's been an error in the way the scores have been calculated :o

Looks like there will be a quick edit and re-release this evening!!!!

I was trying to work out how the Ultra came so low.......if you look at it's scores in the different areas it should be much further up?

your techinque is fine -the back foot movement seems manageable now.

the issue you had was that your eyes aren't level, your head has fallen over slightly, which is why you aren't middling the ball and skewing stuff to the legside off the inside edge
Title: Re: Northern Batoff - The Movie
Post by: Simmy on May 02, 2012, 11:17:45 AM
cheers buzz lad :) i will work on it

Seriously, I tried to stick in everyone's best shots, but also tried to show people playing all round the wicket. So if you smoked 6-7 cover drives I've probably only included one or 2, and if the only shot you hit legside was a flaky inside edge, then that's probs in there too

Yes. We spotted this morning that the wrong numbers had been used, so it's going to get modified.

end of day it doesnt matter cos the bulldog hit a performance rating of 9.3 boom
Title: Re: Northern Batoff - The Movie
Post by: uknsaunders on May 02, 2012, 01:57:52 PM
The Laver did very well based on the Saunders Performance Index ie. ignore how it looks and just measure pickup and performance - 16.2, highest was the blueroom with 17.8 .

Laver was my favourite by miles, with the blueroom second and all the rest were much of a muchness.
Title: Re: Northern Batoff - The Movie
Post by: Ryan on May 02, 2012, 02:19:48 PM
It all depends on the shape i think. Loved the Laver & Wood (and vulcan) but think the profile of the Ayrtek suited me better.

Loved the performance of the fat bat it went some to say least

Version 2 with the correct results is rendering as we speak. Once that's finished I can upload to YouTube which takes about an hour, so should be live by 10ish
