Brandon McMullen took a quick 3 wickets as we reduced them to 4/45 early and we were looking strong from there on in.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Namibia rallied and got revenge in the second match of the series meaning we can’t officially tie the league up against Nepal on Thursday but we could secure a minimum top 3 finish which puts us closer to World Cup qualification Edited December 6, 2022 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically cricket balls will travel further but it probably doesn't make as much difference to the frequency of sixes as the variation in distances to the boundary at different grounds. Scotland have got 99 balls left to bowl in their final World Cup League 2 fixture they need 2 wickets, Nepal need 61 runs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 On 18/02/2023 at 15:30, Mark Connolly said: Are more 6s hit at altitude? This is a recurring theme across a number of sports. The examples of Coors Field (MLB baseball) and the old Mile High Stadium (NFL Football) are the most commonly discussed, and there seems to be no solid evidence whatsoever that altitude makes any difference to how far a baseball can be hit or an american football kicked. Coors Field is a notorious 'hitters' park and seen as a nightmare for pitchers, but that is also true of other stadia that are not at altitude. My personal feeling is that it's simply a quirk of the stadium itself, and more to do with layout, dimensions, and prevailing wind currents inside the stadium than it is thinner air. The main difference of playing sports at altitude appears to be that teams who host games there regularly are better acclimated, and can far better cope with the effects of lower oxygen on human physiology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
