JM was at the ground doing a materclass so i presume they managed to blag themselves one for the feature :)

nice bat
nice explanation of the issues.

but if you cant hold the bat to show the issue (note his bottom hand is upside down...) it does devalue the commentary!!

That is really strange! Why would he do that? Surely he's seen enough cricket to know that you don't hold the bat that way??

That's really annoying. All I can think is he must have some wrist injury stopping him showing how that shot should be played.

He played First class cricket for many years didn't he?

Apparently so. That grip might explain why his average is 11.37. That, and the fact he was a bowler...

I presumed his grip was because he's right handed but showing how the left handed Carberry played?


Especially as carberrys leave is a strange one with a lot of wrist in.
