Title: Alex Tudor
Post by: Twelfth Man on May 28, 2013, 01:52:08 PM: Sky are showing some highlights from the 1999 test against NZ and Tudor as night watchman played beautifully! Some amazing shots, especially the whip through mid wicket! There's always hope for us bowlers :D

That whip off his toes from Simon Doull was a stunning shot! His lofted on-drive off Vettori was pretty special too, the way he opened himself up and his balance was sublime. He definitely had the requisite talent....such a shame it was unfulfilled.

I had never seen that innings before, pleasantly surprised! The shots you mentioned were beau-tiful! He also wasn't afraid of playing a cut shot, timed to perfection :D Gutted that he finished on 99* though.

Whip of the bat! + the bowlers face makes it better.

Post by: Twelfth Man on May 30, 2013, 10:45:27 AM: I could be wrong but it was probably due to the pitch invasion
