Talk:Bouncer (cricket)

message: Have never heard the expression perfume ball before to describe a bouncer. Looked it up on Google and it self referenced back to this article. To say it is colloquial seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.

thread_title:  Perfume ball 

message: Since 2012 this page has stated that "During the 1970s to 1980s, bouncers were used as part of a team's intimidatory tactics, especially by the West Indies team."
It is true that, in the 1970s and 80s, the West Indies elevated the practice of bowling bouncers, as a part of a relentless all-out fast bowling attack, to the position of dominance in the world game, and this was controversial, not only to those who wanted the game to emphasise different aspects and different exponents, but also because it was, rightly or wrongly, linked to slow play, which was also called (in print) "cheating" by some.
As the 2010 Stevan Riley documentary "Fire in Babylon"  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1727790 records, bouncers were used against the West Indies by Australia in the 1970s, when they had the bowlers, notably Lillee and Thompson, to do so, and the resulting humilation of his team was Clive Lloyd's stimulus for the West Indies to adopt ruthless tactics in response.  This is partly reported in History_of_the_West_Indian_cricket_team
Of course bouncers have always been part of the armoury of the any captain who had the bowlers to exploit them. The article now mentions by name Bodyline (but not Larwood or Voce), and Lindwall, Tyson, Malcolm and deVilliers (who?) only in the context of fast bowlers breaking their own convention, plus Griffiths, Ntini, Lee, Akhtar and Abbot (inevitably), but taken as a whole this is a rather an odd list and reflects, I think, that this is rather an incomplete document of the subject of bouncers.
Overall I feel that the page (and its Talk page) is surprisingly moribund considering what a controversial (and sometimes life-changing) subject bouncers have been!
Why did Cricket WikiProject class this subject as low importance?
Is anyone out there? Shouldn't this page be a more complete tour of the history of bouncers, their bowlers, and its controversies and competing viewpoints? Surely this should be a high importance category? I'm willing to start by offering more context to the West Indies decision to use, develop and perfect the bouncer weapon as part on an all-pace attack, but then I'm sure there's plenty of expertise on this around.

Talk:First Fruits

message: There is an aspect of First Fruits in relation to the Christian tradition, and the most important aspect, that seems to be missing from the article.
Paul refers to Christ as the first fruits of the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20 NRSV). Christ rose from the dead as the "first fruits" of the dead so that we all might follow him in a resurrection like his.  The passage from Corinthians is mentioned but as an afterthought at the end of the section and without any elaboration, or the statement that Christ Himself was the first fruits of the dead. This is the most important aspect of the notion of first-fruits; furthermore, some commentators have also taken this aspect as the New Testament fulfillment of the Old Testament Feast of First Fruits.
Just an fyi. Cheers,

thread_title:  near future? 

message: Even though its surface temperature is similar to the Sun, its comfort zone for an Earthlike planet would be 450 AU, or 15 times the average distance from the sun to Neptune.
Surely for a star whose surface temperature halves every 50 years while coughing out 10,000 earth masses of burning gas, the concept of a goldilocks zone is a bit of a fallacy? An orbit at 450AU would take a fair few of these eruptions to complete, so I daresay an Earthlike planet around Rho Cas would have to have a somewhat eccentric, flower-shaped orbit which brings it closer to the star after an eruption, lest it freeze over. Unless anyone wants to contest this, I'm removing this statement. - filelakeshoe 16:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This star is located at around 1,000 light years according to the text, and is of absolute magnitude -9.5. Deneb (α Cygni) is of absolute magnitude -8.38 (so less bright) and located at around 2,600 light years according to Deneb, yet it is much brighter in our skies than ρ Cassiopeiae.
I suppose this is due to interstellar absorption by dust between us and ρ Cassiopeiae (and less or no dust between us and Deneb), but I don’t find any information about this anywhere. Does anyone have a reference? Thanks in advance! CielProfond (talk) 22:52, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The distance of 1,000 parsecs in the article uses a very noisy Gaia DR2 parallax, which has a significance of astrometric noise at 497, where anything above 2 is probably significant.

I think it is more than a horror film.  It is a morality play that very closely shows the obsession with youth.  At one point Autie Mei says that all we can do is try to enjoy life.  This reminds me of the beer commercial philosophy that we only go around once; so grab all the gusto.
