    are we allowed to attach movie clips?
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

      I have a certain responsibility as the attachment king, and if the site will stand it, clip away

        Not really You'd expect the wider and larger bat to be ridiculously heavy and unwieldy. My bat weighs 2.3lbs. So a LOT of wood has to be cut off to make a bat that light, which means the supposedly "wide bat" has no real advantage over its baseball equivalent in playing aggressive shots since hitting it anywhere outside of a small spot in the middle of the bat does little more than make the ball trickle 5 yards, or worse provides the fielders behind you with simple catching practise.

        Only advantage the wide bat has is when you're playing with a dead bat and power isn't important. I suppose this correlates nicely with the fact that getting out is so much more important to the game than in baseball.

          You forgot the chinaman!

          Also, Bush's new favourite - the googly - but I bet he has no idea about whether it moves from leg to off or vice versa. Or even what one was if he saw it - it was just a name-drop.
