matthew hayden has a very lovely pink bright bat handle.

i didn’t get to see much of the cricket at all today. mostly saw the bit where matty was batting. it wasnt much. the only notes i wrote today were these two-

1. heavy ball

2. balls a culmination

i think mark nicholas was about to try and describe the physics behind the ‘heavy ball’ that flintoff bowls but stopped. and the second was some reference to someting heals said about some delivery bowled by hoggard or someone. he was saying something about the epic history of work and effort that is behind every delivery.
