Nick Knight excelled himself last night, Taylor clearly edged it to the keeper but old Knighty was positive that the bat hit the ground (after 5 replays showing the bat nowhere near the ground). He went on about some dust coming from the pitch (which, from a replay shown from a camera behind the stumps was caused by the Taylor's boot) and just wasn't having the possibility of an edge.

 

Eventually, 8/9 replays in, he finally admitted that it might've been a nick. And gets paid for this. Seriously?

As Nick Knight would say "I`m with you on this one" :D  

 

I was watching.... He really should think about moving to the IPL, he`d fit in well with that bunch of idiots  :rolleyes:

He's awful. Really is. The way he says games and still 50-50 when its a 100-1 shot for one side is great.

To be honest, he's not alone in not knowing what's going on at times.

 

There have been several occasions where the viewers have had more of an idea than the commentators in terms of edges, hotspot, bat hit ground/ pad, debatable catches etc.

What is the common age to start playing cricket?

 

8-9 for me, a couple of trials at Leicestershire as a kid but not good enough unfortunately. Good bowler but not going didn't help.

 

Stopped at about 22, still love playing, no idea why I don't start again.

I remember i played a bit a juniors school, but never formed a team it was just a quick game in PE lessons. I remember once it was my turn to bat and the other kids started laughing, and what happens... i hit a six lol that shuts them up, plus i catched two wickets when fielding. I haven't played it in years to be honest, i remember me and my dad used to have a quick game, i was a better batsman than bowler, horrendous at bowling. In fielding i used to play silly mid-off.

 

To be honest though its quick difficult to find a team.
