Not that I'm aware of, but that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true.
The fastest bowlers though are only bowling between 135-140kms hr. Should not be an issue for first class umpires to switch their eyes in time. I have umpired a few games with bowlers close to that pace and as long as I was on the ball and focused on the job it was not that hard to flick your eyes up in time.
Haven't heard it actually.
Barring Langer, the fact of the matter is the selectors are old farts, so as I said, it's probably not going to do him any favours. He didn't go out to the reverse sweep, no, but the rash shot he did get out to was indicative of his intent. Totally unnecessary, and not the time for it when you're playing for your career.
Wow. So muxh delusion in this post. He's got 10 years minimum left in his career barring injury, hardly the disaster waiting to happen if he's playing the reverse. Successfully. On multiple occassions
Umpiring stocks must be very thin mate. We saw some howlers in the Big Bash too, by the same old faces. Saw some young umpires who seemed pretty good umpiring in the West Indies in the T20 Women's World Cup and in the Mens T20 over there. Australia need some good young umpires like them to come through.
Wells get him in the side 4 tons
Calm down, dickhead. You really love the freakin reverse sweep don't you? Also love it how you have such a strong opinion on an innings you didn't see.
It's more that you hate it for no reason. I'm just sick of idiots like you whinging about a legitimate shot when people play it with success
i never even said I hated it. I merely speculated the selectors may not like seeing it being overplayed by a guy who's vying for an Ashes spot. What I did hate was another cheap Renshaw dismissal – 30 minutes before stumps – with the worst shot of the summer.
