gone for an RNS this time

what i like about this pic http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/110958928 is not just the technique... eyes leading the feet to the pitch of the ball, nice balanced position with gentle grip on the bottom hand... but the complete railway sleeper behind the stumps!


Is that top hand grip orthodox? looks like the fingers are more round the side than the front of the handle.

possibly - it is difficult to tell because of the angle and the glove. Also Sachin apparently doesn't have the biggest hands and uses a very thick grip so may not be able to hold the bat is a totally traditional way. A small margin with the top hand has less of a detrimental effect than with the bottom hand, in my opinion

I did see somewhere that he uses youth gloves as he likes them to be tight
