Wicket keeping is much easier when the ball travels in a straight(ish) line to you If you’re stood back. Once you add in a deviation to that straight line and change the angle it becomes more difficult.

Fielding wise there was an interesting bit by Nasser the other week where he said square leg bad point are tricky as u haven’t got the depth perception of how quickly it’s coming as @AJ2014 mentioned with his issue.

Everyone will have shelled a catch at some point, even the great fielders like Collingwood/Jonty. A lapse in concentration taking your eye off the ball is usually the problem where you don’t coordinate your hands to take it.
@Ayrtek Cricket, well explained, thanks

I think CustomBats should have a Comedy section for threads like these...maybe make @AJ2014 its moderator as well :D

List of future topics by our friend..?

Why do batsmen get bowled - don’t they have a bat in hand?
Why do umpires give bad decisions?
Why is it Bennifer instead of Jenniben?
How do we know the Earth is not flat?
Did 5G create covid?

Look that one's too serious to joke with.

Having read the original post it got me thinking...

Why doesn't James Anderson take a wicket every ball he bowls?
He's taken over 600 test wickets, so clearly knows how to get people out. Why doesn't he just bowl one of those wicket taking deliveries every time?

Surely because Ben is at the start of his name. If he was known as Benjamin (rather than just Ben) then they could be called Jenjamin.

Now, what does this forum *really* think about climate change?
