re: Cricket's version of the fast ball and the curve ball

Just saw the scorecard for that Lord's match. Must have been one of the most exciting 'drawn' matches ever. India somehow survived the last 30 balls without losing their last batsman. These are some of the nuances of the game that Americans have a hard time grasping. Like how can a match end in a draw after 5 days especially since the last 30 mins of the game were probably so nerve racking.

Yep, nothing comes close to the excitement of day 5 of a test match when a result is imminent. Unfortunately, it is a 5 day event and test cricket is a dying sport.

The batter here is Sachin Tendulkar - considered to best batsman to have ever played the game. Think Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan.
being half Trini, I'm partial to Brian Lara myself.
