"Also note that squash ball was in his gloves and would already be compressed, so there is no case of it acting as a capacitance system. Please analyse your points properly before broadcasting it!" Good point Gaurav...just want to add to it..even if the squashy ball thing gives kinetic or whatever energy..the bat should come down in the right direction to hit the middle of the bat and the timing should be right. It was only possible coz Gilly is an awesome player with gr8 timing..
