Good sports writing should know no boundaries..on this Saturday morning here’s Britain’s best — Barney Ronay — with a lovely piece on ‘leaving’, the ability or inability of the hitter to stay away from the ball breaking/swerving away from him. In cricket although the pitched ball is deliberately bowled short so the batsman must play it on the bounce it still ends up tantalising in the same manner as the slider here as it moves away. The ‘slips’ are a small group of guys crouched 15 yards behind him and off to that same side only too ready to gobble up the catch produced by a nick off the edge of the straight-faced bat when the hitter cannot resist the chase.
