Amazing Skill But Is It Cricket?
There is no doubting the skill involved in the batting performance of England’s Kevin Pietersen during the recent match against New Zealand, but is it cricket? Look at the coverage and share your thoughts.
An MCC cricket rules committee has decided the “switch-hit” stroke, a term borrowed from American baseball, is within the rules of the game. The International Herald Tribune has an interesting article that discusses the differing views on this batting stroke.
How long will it be before we see the “switch-hit” being used on the field of Freuchie Cricket Club? Perhaps we’ll see it tomorrow from one of the ladies from Sussex.

I used to have trouble enough getting bat to meet ball without changing from right hand to left hand stance while the ball was in the air!
