Cricket Burble: Practice needed

10 July 2009

Did anyone else notice that every one of Monty's 5s (high or low) after dismissing Ponting missed ?

Ed said...: It must be hard as one of his team mates trying to high five him as he's so mal-cordinated he'll probably miss even if you were to be standing still with a stationary hand!

In our team I'm still getting used to the celebratory routine. Mostly high fives, but the one that foxes me is the chest height clasp of hands with fingers pointing towards the sky, versus a hand shake with fingers horizontal to the ground. As someone that's generally taller than everyone else I think people are wanting to shake hands and in fact that want to go for the much cooler clasp.

Perhaps celebrations should be discussed in advance.....have you noticed how in the Test the Aussies go massively overboard at the end of a session where they've fielded well - much back slapping and hugging as they leave the pitch....presumably deliberately done in public as some psychologist told them to.; 12 July 2009 at 09:21
