Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.
You're viewing part of a thread.
So his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.
I only pointed out the difference between the fastest. There’s plenty of shorter, leaner bowlers in men’s cricket who bowl faster than Perry. Kemar Roach for instance is in the same height and weight category as Perry and regularly bowls 150kph
Tbf it’s expected. You know women going below 16-18% body fat is completely unhealthy while top male athletes are perfectly healthy at 6% or so
Edit: wtf mate? Momentum is not mass of propeller times velocity. By your logic a sumo wrestler would easily be the fastest cricket bowler!
Momentum is mass x velocity. Google it.
Would you rather get hit by a featherweight or heavyweight? Mass matters
I'd say the difference between men and women's cricket will reduce as women get more training and money, I don't see any reason why not
Yes dear friend, momentum is indeed mass x velocity. But we’re not talking about the speed at which the bowler runs. It’s the speed at which the bowl is propelled.
(to be clear, the lower mass of cricket ball in women’s cricket is a factor in reducing momentum. But we’re talking purely speed here)
Some women cricketers (outside Pakistan) earn more than Pakistani male cricketers already. And I must say, I’m a huge supporter. Unlike the WNBA in the US, women’s cricket is way more popular in rest of the world.
It’s a biological factor that women, generally, aren’t as physically strong as men and as a supporter of female athletes, abolishing gender boundaries is practically killing women’s sports. Here’s some more data you could’ve found out by googling: https://boysvswomen.com/#/
I'm not so sure. Women's football is doing very well now that it's getting more money and attention, as are motor sports.
It is doing very well indeed! Why kill it?!
Thanks, done a little googling, I'm not very au fait with the subject
I found this article that reinforces most of what you say, but also makes the comment:
Many of the limits for women's sport will be determined by broader cultural change. That much was revealed by a remarkable study of throwing by boys and girls across the world. Aboriginal Australian girls threw the ball harder than those from anywhere else, and the gap with boys was smaller. One can infer that the way girls are raised elsewhere in the world impedes their physical development, and that a considerable portion of girls' athletic inferiority elsewhere in the world owes to culture, not biology.

- his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.
Do you understand why this statement is wrong?
You’re mixing the mass of the person throwing the ball with the mass of the ball.
- his mass is 33% more
This would matter if he was flying himself at the batsman.
Because the bowler is giving momentum to the ball?
Correct. The bowler is contributing to the velocity part of the equation
I'm not trying to be difficult, I just probably don't understand. It's been at least 30 years since I did physics.
There's only 3 things in the equation?
Velocity = Momentum/Mass
momentum is the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction
The ball gets its momentum from the mass and velocity, so size and speed of the bowler?
Add in levers from long whippy limbs and you get the fastest ball for the size of bowler?
Do biological males have longer whippier limbs? If not, then I don't understand how a bowler of the same size and weight of either sex would have an advantage, assuming identical levels of access to playing and coaching from a young age.
