Actually, I think Russell Arnold's improved tremendously....
IMHO, he's the best commentator in the current Pakistan-SL series.

Well, i don't know if they ever actually sighted it or just saying . I don't have spectacles, and have tried it in nets even against lesser paced bowlers like 125kph - 130 kph and it is impossible to sight the threading or the shine . I have tried this while playing with the red season balls.

Commentators talking rubbish, ball reaches from bowler to batsman in less than 0.5 seconds so they don't have time to sight anything in detail then play the correct shot. Some batsmen purely rely on instinct to play their shots if anything else.

I would really like to know if some one else apart from commies can spot the thread or shiny side even at spinners speeds. Since i have actually tried it , i agree that they are just talking whatever they want and probably think they can fool the viewers . Has anyone else here who has played proper cricket, been able to sight the threading or the shine, even at spinners bowling speed.
