Absolutely incredible. I've no idea how you'd do this, but Cy Kuckenbaker, the editor of this piece says it took about 180 hours of work, starting with a 4-minute clip.
trial by pace
England are currently being discomfited by it and India are about to be confronted by a batsman's greatest challenge: the trial by pace. It's a challenge that most dread and very few relish.When umpire Max O'Connell once warned Australian fast bowler Lennie Pascoe at Adelaide Oval: "That'll be enough bouncers for this over, Len," a voice piped up from the other end: "Don't stop him, Max." That intimidating response put West Indies master blaster Viv Richards in the minority. He relished pace, never wore a helmet or took a serious blow to the noggin, and was, in the words of Pakistan's revered allrounder Imran Khan, "an intimidating batsman".
unconscious incompetence
In 1999 a pair of researchers published a paper called "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments (PDF)." David Dunning and Justin Kruger (both at Cornell University's Department of Psychology at the time) conducted a series of four studies showing that, in certain cases, people who are very bad at something think they are actually pretty good. They showed that to assess your own expertise at something, you need to have a certain amount of expertise already.
