For those freepers in foreign lands that like cricket amazon has a series called Inside Edge.
I cant get used to india shows talking in English and Hindi even in the same sentence. The second season was dubbed in English but it appears they havent done it yet for season 3.
If i understood cricket better the show would make better sense but it is interesting to watch other cultures
There's also a documentary on Assholeazon titled, "Shane," about Shane Warne. Shane (I address him in the familiar because that is the general habit) was a leg-spin bowler, which is half way between a curve ball specialist and a knuckleballer, a cross between Sandy Kaufax and Phil Niekro.
And he was a magician. A once-in-a-generation talent. You don't have to be a cricket fan to appreciate how stupendous he was.
The documentary is titled, simply, "Shane." If you're a sports fan, even if you have no taste for cricket, watch the first eight minutes and you'll be hooked. That's when they talk about Shane's performance in the 1994 Ashes.
His first appearance in a major international competition and it also happened to be the world's highest-profile cricket match. And the first ball he threw shocked the entire cricket world.
Cricket and baseball have far more differences than similarities and one MAJOR difference is that if the cricket batsman (batter) gets hit by a pitch, it's not the bowler's (pitcher's) fault, it's the batsman's fault for getting in the ball's way. If you think batters were afraid to "dig in" when facing The Big Unit or Bob Gibson, they got nuthin' on Warne. Intimidation became his stock in trade.
By the peak of his career, he pulled Babe Ruth's famous "called shot" dozens of times. In a heated contest he would tell the batsman, "Aw'right, mate, gunnah bowl you out next ball." And he very rarely failed to deliver.
