    Can the bowler run into the throw? I seem to recall video of this. I assume the primary wicket-keeping skills are catching a spinning ball off the bounce, no.

    It seems that they are reducing the number of "critical" reports but introducing a new catagory of "important".

    Willow me this . . .

    Do you have to knock down all of the stumps or just knock the cross-bar off the top? In baseball you can crowd the plate but you run the risk if getting thumped. On the one hand you might get a free base on the other hand you might get hit in the ribs.

    Well, As a continuation of the discussion here. I'd hate to continue to drag the thread off-topic. ------------------ I love learning about new sports. In cricket the ball can bounce, correct. How big is the target (besides avoiding the batter's swing) the bowler(?) is trying to hit? How far is...

    Hey, I'm not on a crusade here I just thought you might want to be accurate. :eekers: It certainly takes less of my time for you to read the article again and see your mistake but if It's important to you and you want me to I can spell it out. Otherwise, consider it dropped. :)

    Tired of Creative.

    It depends on what you want to do. I recently had to do research for this. I would like a card that will output coax spdif (for AC3 passthrough) and 5.1 analog on W2k for under US$100. The philips acoustic edge card is the most like what I need and what I purchased. It is close to perfect for...

    Helldiver, Your questions all still speak to interoperability testing. The only difference between this problem and problems before it is the severity of the results of a conflict.
