    taker putting The Shield over, means he believes in The Shield, it's an Insta-Boost for them bc, epicness B)

     

    #BelieveInTheShield

     

    btw Ambrose put himself in that lock lol, he gave himself to the Taker :rofl:

     

    Daniel Bryan's favour returned :P

     

    The match was about Shield destroying Taker anyways. But got to see more of Ambrose's pyscho antics which is awesome!

     

    And Man a 48 year old battered and bruised guy willing to take spears through the barricade and power bombs through the table to get 3 NXT guys over; this guy is something else! And the SHIELD too is something else! :O

     

    Last real endorsement Taker gave anybody was to CM Punk

    The whole character of Goldberg was created coz of his winning streak

    Without that winning streak these characters are nothing

    Smthing similar can be said about the undertakers character aswell

     

    The streak really came into focus at somewhere around 11-0. That's ELEVEN YEARS of wrestling and a near hall of fame career already.

    He's had insanely awesome matched even beyond the realm of Wrestlemania. His unique gimmick has worked so well. There are many more facets to Undertaker than just his streak.

     

    It's important now because that's the only match he wrestles in every year and is already an established legend.

     

    No comparison to Goldberg, Ryback or any other WWE superstar for that matter

    Aiight, so i take it that it is just a over blown misconception. I thought the same. It is just that commentators incessantly harp on 'yorkers or nothing' in the last overs that i was confused. Will attribute that to lame standards of commentary now a days, particularly among the desi lot.

     

    Also @ ambar

    good to see the idiotic rule being scrapped.

     

    Thanks guys.

     

    It was Simon Doul last night. But he was right in a way because very very few deliveries were Yorkers in the final few. MSD hit 2 sixes off two short deliveries and when Steyn returned to full length, only 3 runs were scored.

    Problem is, except a select few, no one has a mastery over yorker. Currently, except Malinga, no one has that accuracy. So if you miss a yorker by a small margin, it becomes a full toss or a overpitched delivery which can go the distance easily in final overs where everyone is looking to get under the ball.ok, got it but why do people want yorkers (and only that) in the last overs then, common sense would want the ball with least probability of botchup, specially when prime aim if to stop flow of runs towards the end.

     

    Now, for early part of innings, even Malinga doesn't bowl that many yorkers, why? Because during field restrictions, you can easily on drive/dig out a yorker instead of trying to hit it outside the ground like you do in death overs. And with field restrictions, that on drive can go to a 4 if in the gap.Dont they have field restrictions in the last 4-5 overs too ? or it is changed again ?

     

     

    I am asking this because i read a few posts here that mocked and cursed Dale styen for bowling full balls at dhoni in a match and dhoni supposedly hit them for boundries. now if they were lynching dale steyn for bowling ball balls then it is ok, but most were explicitly accusing him of not bowling full, low yorkers.

     

    Also a misconception that Yorkers are the only way to go in the final few overs. Essentially you look to stop the flow of runs. Yorkers are your best bet. But you can't be too predictable with your length so you got to keep mixing them with slower deliveries, bouncers, slow bouncers etc. length deliveries will be highly susceptible to getting hit for runs

    Because he bowled short deliveries on a pitch which wasn't fast. So the balls came to dhoni at a right pace and a right length to deposit them out of the ground. Yorkers were the best course of action in that scenario. If you can hit a dale steyn Yorker for a six( which msd is fully capable of),well then you are exceptional. But other than that it was a low risk delivery.

     

    Also no field restrictions in the last 10.all power play blocks just be done with within 40 overs. But the new rule restricts the max number of fielders outside the ring in non power play overs to 4 as compared to 5 earlier

    here is a question for cricket experts.

     

    Death over bowling, of course in odi and t20s. What is the reason behind coinage of this term and specificity that it encapsulates ? I have always heard that in the last 20% of the limited overs the bowlers HAVE to bowl (or try to) a full, yorker-ish length, the fuller and closer to ground the better. Why is it that if this technique is supposed to be so effective in curbing shots that bowlers are explicitly encouraged to bowl this length only in the death overs, why not the whole time ?

     

    Why is it that earlier in the innings commentators want bowlers to bowl banana swinging balls while the same delivery becomes inexcusable in the last overs ? I get it that bowling yorkers is very hard and bowlers cannot bowl that everytime, but they should at lest target to deliver if it is supposed to be this magical delivery that negates any other in the last overs. Only reason i can think is the tendency of batsmen in the last overs to throw bat at any slightly wide and bouncy ball but trying to specifically counter that is like preparing for the very worst, akin to captain placing a fielder exactly behind the wicket keeper.

     

     

    To summarise, i am not questioning the potency of a yorker, i am just questioning the idea that bowlers have to ball it exclusively in the death overs. If you can bowl a 'wasim akram best' then why cant you try in the last overs. A failed attempt at a good length fast out swinger has no more probability than a botched yorker turned full toss, both getting clobbered for a six, yet commentators act as if the bowler has committed a crime if he attempts anything else than a full yorker-ish ball.

     

    They don't have to bowl it exclusively in the death overs. But the deal is at the start if an innings, the polished brand new ball is harder to grip firmly so as to deliver a Yorker. High tendency of the ball slipping from your hand and ending up as a full toss or even worse a Beamer. As the shine wears off, it becomes that much easier to grip the ball and hence delivering a Yorker is (relatively) easier.

     

    The same old ball will swing less, if at all in the death overs (especially the white ball, which swings a lot only in the first few overs). So the full length deliveries needed for a good swinging ball is actually now the hitting zone with no lateral movement.

     

    Perfect Yorkers or low full toss are harder to score from since you don't get the desired leverage over these deliveries. Whereas if you bowl a fullish delivery on or just outside the off stump, it can be put away over covers or straight down the ground even. Hence the specificity of trying to bowl particular types at particular times.

     

    Having said that, it's not that bowlers don't ball Yorkers at the start at all but those who used to regularly have been few and far in between. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis are the last real bowlers that at least I remember.

     

    Also, with a higher tendency of failure, bowlers try to cut it out in the power play especially when they can't afford to have protection for a bad ball. Can blame it on the increasing defensive mentality.

     

    The coinage of the term death overs is simply out of the fact that it is the near end if the innings

    Or maybe they bought him so that he doesn't play from other teams.

     

    They had a purse, they spent it. The franchise was going to spend their cap anyways. Only that it went to a single player instead of a couple. He's probably the backup for Smith. If Smith starts faltering or gets injured, he might come in

    How about alliance/wishnet/kailash... :fear: all are without FUP :notangel:

    The local cable wala here is not giving me that speed..saying 512 for Rs 500 ..download unlimited.

     

    @playstation - Why don't you go for Alliance Broadband ?

    I dont have it here..

     

    guys at 2mbps speed my download speed shoulw be 250kbps, right??

    250 kBps

     

    Obviously depending upon the server where you are downloading from, or torrent health, speeds will vary. Check on speedtest.net too see if you are getting proper speeds. If the speed is in excess of 1.6 Mbps or 200 KBps then speed is fine. The ISPs are supposed to provide minimum of 80% of the rated speed according to a ruling by TRAI.

    Vaio aint good? How reliable is hp?

     

    Go to the store and do check if the hp has exhaust vents underneath the body or on the sides. If it is underneath then don't buy it.. Will give you heavy heating up and choking problems.

     

    I've heard heating up issues are common with HP but I am not too sure about that but yes the choking problem is a real one since I have a HP and I need to get it serviced every 6 months or so

    MI has all the remaining matches at Wankhede now. They can put up a base there. I think Maxwell will play all the matches in place of Johnson/Smith.

     

    Ummm Johnson and Smith both played match winning roles in the last match. Johnson in fact has been bowling really well till now. Smith is finding good form. Mallinga n Pollard too seem to be hitting the straps.. How can u drop any one of these for maxwell?

     

    Pay a huge amount and keep playing him continuously despite being a total waste: seems to have worked well for KKR right ? :giggle:
