If they Beat Ireland then they will get through to the top 8 which is crazy for a team that has never made a world cup before Spartan 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/148796-cricket-t20-world-cup/#findComment-1028672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Janser 2,217 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I cannot take a sport serious which is named after an insect. That just reminds me that the Swiss National sport is called 'Hornussen' which translate into 'Hornet'...

The stick the lad is swinging is a 3m (10ft) long flexible rod from carbonfibre, fibreglass, aluminium or plastic (probably was flexible wood like willow back in the day) with a hardwood block (oak or beech would be my guess) at the end. The goal is to hit the disc with the wooden end and shoot it as far as possible. The renowned ETH took samples and came up with an initial speed of up to 306km/h (around 190mph), terminal velocity of 160km/h (around 100mph), max altitude of 70m (230ft) and max range of about 350m (about 1150ft). Like baseball it is the batter playing against the field (yes there are people in the field who try to 'kill' the disc by throwing oversized, lightweight pizza shovels in the air).
