A short ball vs a length ball

Thu, Apr 23, '26 at 10:31 AM

Was the Jayden Seales delivery a length ball or a short ball? For the life of me I am not sure why some are calling this a short ball when it clearly pitched into the good length lines.

If the answer is a length ball is it normal for that type of delivery to rise to that level?

dude.....louis isn't even in the frame when the ball lands on the pitch. this north Korean style propaganda you constantly engage in is deeply disturbing homes.....i remember Alvin Kallicharran in an after dinner speech saying anybody in GT who played on the front foot to a short ball in his days was a sure hospital case. so said, so done
