That's pretty cool, but unfortunately Jorge Lorenzo is a massive cunt. Rossi 4eva.

Also Nairo Quintana has proven once again this year that he doesn't have the attacking capability and/or team support to win the Tour. In fact it's probably more the team thing really. If he had a team like Froome he would actually stand a chance of winning.

>Wasn't that ball wide? And how did be know it was going so wide?

Smith is a very unorthodox player. His bottom-hand grip on the bat is much more dominant than most people. If you look at the webm, you can sort of see how the bat is sort of just resting in his palm, almost no one would wrap their bottom hand around the bat so much.

What that allows him to do is play through the leg-side very effectively. You can sort of imagine if you had that grip, it would be very easy to swing through the leg side and very difficult to swing through the off. You can even see in that webm the percentage of shots he is playing through the leg side.

So to answer your question, because he is such a leg-side dominant player, he knows bowlers are going to try and bowl the ball as far outside the off-stump as possible. So in the webm he is trying counter that by taking his guard absurdly far outside the off-stump. I don't think he knew for sure the bowler was going to follow him if he walked that far but basically he just has insane hand-eye coordination and adjusted to it when the bowler did follow him which is how he produced that meme.

The ball would have been a wide if Smith left it and didn't touch it because it was outside the tramlines. In hindsight the bowler would have been better just firing a yorker at legstump because Smith was so absurdly far out but these decisions are made in literal mili-seconds

one eye looks straight and the other on a slight angle. Hold your finger up to a wall corner and and close each eye one by one. Your finger will appear to barely move on your "dominant" eye, and the other will move quite a bit.

Haven't heard of this one, I just did the triangle test where I focused a far away point, closed my left eye and it was off-centre, closed my right eye and it was centered.

My aim certainly improved a lot since doing that
