Martin - I think you know that a cricket pitch is exactly 22 yards (1 chain) - that’s how its known outside the UK too. Also there’s the 35 yard circle. You’ll know that we’re taking on S.Africa in T20 right now.
Personally I understand the bowling speed in mph (or if I wasn’t British, km/h) because you can equate it with real life situations. I still find it amazing that our two fast bowlers deliver regularly at 95 mph because although less than legal I know what a car feels like at 95 mph and I feel for the poor batsman who has to hit a ball travelling to them at that speed where their visibility is basically what the grill in the helmet allows. It’s also stunning to think that a man can throw a ball that fast after running hard at the pitch > On 29 Nov 2020, at 7:04 pm, Martin Vlietstra <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don’t know about the way in which baseball is reported in the US, but the > British TV tends to use mph for the speed at which balls are delivered in > cricket and in tennis.
