It doesn't make a ton of sense, you should still be able to learn the form and stuff. You just have to mirror it. I don't know any cricketers that have really had that issue.
And as far as equipment goes … basketballs / baseballs / baseball bats are all "neutral".
Makes a bit more sense for something like golf.
A new study published in the journal Sports Medicine this week has revealed that players whose top hand is also their dominant hand are far more likely to reach the top level of the sport.http://www.cricket.com.au/news/right-handed-left-handed-stance-dominant-hand-mike-hussey-brian-lara-anglia-ruskin-university-study/2016-03-24?mode=amp
Right-handed international cricketers who have used a left-handed batting stance include the likes of Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, David Gower, Adam Gilchrist, Alistair Cook, Matthew Hayden, David Warner and Justin Langer.
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke as well as current Australia players Adam Voges, Aaron Finch and James Faulkner are all left-handers who bat right-handed.
Don't know how legit those examples are, but anecdotally, I'm 'left' handed and bat right handed. I write with my left, kick with my right, play racquet sports with my left and throw and shoot with my right. The way I hold a tennis racquet for a 'left' handed backhand is akin to how I hold bats in a 'right' hand stance.
It seems odd to me that what hand I write with should dictate everything else I do in my life.

By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostLauri out here looking like Dirk. Cavs D is gonna be an experience this year.I was at the gym and when I saw their starting lineup I thought who hell is gonna play D!?. All I could think of was Bron and Crowder having to guard everyone lol.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostI was at the gym and when I saw their starting lineup I thought who hell is gonna play D!?. All I could think of was Bron and Crowder having to guard everyone lol.huh they will be better defensively than before due to crowder alone.
By unknown Go To Posthuh they will be better defensively than before due to crowder alone.
Wade and IT will be starting in January. Crowder and Green will be playing next to Korver and Frye, it's kind of a wash.

By unknown Go To Postwtf… tank is readyTank or back to the status quo?
Pierce just suggested going back to a 5 game first round to justify a 16-seeded playoff and East/West travel.
*silent beat*
*everyone breaks out laughing*
Jalen Rose *wipes tear* "they're never going back to 5 games".

http://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/20985023/joel-embiid-extension-protects-philadelphia-76ers-case-contractually-specific-catastrophic-injury
Seems like a reasonably smart deal for Philly
Here's how a perfect storm of calamity would have to unfold for Embiid to earn any less than this full $146.5 million: Across each of the final four seasons of the extension, ending with the 2022-23 season, the 76ers could waive Embiid for a financial benefit if he's lost because of a contractually agreed upon injury that causes him to miss 25 or more regular-season games and if he plays less than 1,650 minutes, league sources said.
Specific injuries are laid out in the contract and only include past problem areas with Embiid's feet and back, sources said. Embiid has to miss 25 or more regular-season games because of injuries in those areas, and play less than 1,650 minutes, for Philadelphia to have the option of releasing him for cost savings.
For example, if Embiid hypothetically suffered a serious knee or wrist injury – something outside the contractual language surrounding the feet and back – the 76ers have no avenue to waive Embiid to reclaim any portion of his salary. And given Embiid's rare talent, there's a belief that he'd have to suffer a career-ending injury to inspire the 76ers to release him.
If Embiid meets that narrow criteria and the Sixers decided to waive him after the 2018-19 season, he would receive $84.2 million of his full contract; $98.2 million after the 2019-20 season; $113.3 million after the 2020-21 season and $129.4 million after the 2021-22 season.
What's more, if Embiid plays a minimum of 1,650 regular-season minutes in three consecutive years during the extension, or three out of four including the 2017-18 season, those benchmarks would eliminate the possibility of a reduction in the contract, league sources said.

Mitchell looks like he hurt something and Hood is done with "neck soreness"
hahahaha
edit: oh Mitchell is back in, its not a total disaster for 1 game.

Then NYK put an unconditional one in front of him (LULZ).
By diehard Go To Postwho the hell takes Deandre as their 8th pick of all NBA players?
Beadle respect -1
She had also never heard the term "treadmill team" and she's been covering sports her whole life...
By diehard Go To Postwho the hell takes Deandre as their 8th pick of all NBA players?I think it was just who was left in the All-Star game from last season. If he was her 8th pick, that would put him at 15th overall from the All-Star roster which isn't as bad.

By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostImagine a world where Kuzma is just flat out better than Ingram, Brown, and Simmons.Brown will be debatable, but he's not better than simmons lol.
