Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth

I bought my house in Spain six years ago. The exchange rate then was €1,11 to the pound, a number you tend to remember when you transfer many, many tens of thousands of pound to Spain. Guess what the exchange rate today is €1,11 to the pound. Disaster or what?

As far as I know it's for all cricket. However the thickness and shape of the rear of the bat blade can vary to make it heavier for the various types of cricket.

Re: England v New Zealand

I think the theory is that if the ball pitches outside leg stump, the trajectory of the ball is likely (possibly) to be in line to hit the leg anyway before the batsman has time to move his bat towards the ball.
