Bob Taylor the best wicketkeeper i have ever seen

Interesting how the crowd cheers singles the same way sixes are cheered these days.

Weird how often commentators talk about hook shots when what they're actually describing is a pull shot. When did anyone ever 'hook' spin bowling?

[@sentimentalbloke185]

Hooking is when a batsman gets inside the line of the ball & hits it behind sqaure leg, so yes you can hook a spinner but it's a bit unusual.

@@sentimentalbloke185 You can hook from inside or outside the line can't you, just as you can sweep from inside or outside the line? The difference between the hook and pull is more about height, I think. If it's chest or above, it feels lot like a hook. But below that is more like a pull shot.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

@@jandekker6008 no. It's called a pull shot because the ball is pulled from the off to the on side. It's a general rule of thumb as a player might not get inside he line of the ball & still try to play a hook but will be unable to control the direction & flight of the ball.

Nice to see an expert gloveman behind the wicket and they don't come more expert than R W TAYLOR <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="270">4:30</a> <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="324">5:24</a>

Neither of those time references show any glove work from Taylor. ??
