gilli did cheat !!!
by gaurav prakash on May 08, 2007 07:35 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

You guys sgould realise this that the half cut squash ball acts as a capacitance system with which immedicatley transforms the mechancial energery it gains into kinetic energry . Its like hitting a ball over a spring , thus letting it go higher on rebound . As nothing except standard gear is allowed , this is surely not correct legally and ethically to use .
Is a spring device allowed in bats ( BTW , this is the reason why aluminium bats are banned !)
Are slip fielders allowed to wear gloves to aid thier catching ?
Then how could the squash ball be allowed . It should be a rematch !

Bhaiyya ,ball ko bat se mara jata hai gloves se nahi.Waise he agar gilchrist ne kaha hota ke usne apne helmet ke andar squash ball raka to aap kya bolte? Mechanical kinetic Funda wah wah!!

Gaurav,
Most sports shoes have some sort of spring systems that protects feet from shocks. So that too must be banned? In that case no cricketer will be wearing legal equipment and all matches were illegal!

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!

well said gaurav..and the whole nonsense about being a capacitance system is ridiculous..

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..
