Quite amazing how far we have developed since throw-downs! I wonder what's next!

Ponting was nearly knocked out by one of these,


Just when it seemed things could not get any worse for Australia, their captain and batting kingpin Ponting is almost floored by an errant bowling machine.
The Aussies were using the new high-tech ProBatter bowling machine, first tested by England players, that simulates bowling actions when the screen went blank. Suddenly a short pitched delivery came from nowhere and reared up at an unprepared Ponting, who managed to deflect the ball away without suffering injury.

Haha imagine that bowler is running in and half way through his run up a ball is flung at you at 90 mph!

I shouldnt laugh, could have been serious...

They would make a fortune if they opened it to the public and charged for people to bat for say an hour.
