      "body": "![prv_1529567013.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUhtTq9qA6NwVUS3AhS8dMYsDdBXB9JHoqCvgABJ3poz7/prv_1529567013.jpeg)\nSurvival of the fittest is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the idea that species adapt and change by natural selection with the best suited mutations becoming dominant.\n\nIt is also a microcosm of the sporting world. Athletes create an illusion of precision via hard work - harnessing technique and talent. As the game evolves, so do the athletes. Cricket, as the others, has evolved with time too. Batsmen have explored new ways of looking to outsmart their adversaries - the bowlers. They have rewritten the well-established edicts of batsmanship.\n\nBowlers too have evolved by adding a slew of different variations and new kinds of deliveries to keep them in the game. In a subtle way, the game keeps shifting - more like \"evolutionary biology\". One of the discoveries that has constantly evolved, and also widely debated, is reverse swing.\n\nIn the backdrop of the ball tampering saga that has suddenly engulfed the sport - with Australia in the Cape Town Test and Sri Lanka in Gros Islet - the phenomenon of reverse swing and the evolution of the art - some might call it an illicit practice - has come under the spotlight.\n\nWhat is reverse swing?\n\nWith insights from Kiran Vaddi, a Doctoral Candidate in University at Buffalo - \"Swing of cricket ball is due to the asymmetry in flow between two hemispheres of the cricket ball resulting in an effective side force. It can be generated by making use of seam of the ball and roughness of the ball surface. Both these properties help to alter the thin boundary layers formed and create asymmetry across the two hemispheres. With the new ball, where there is no bias in terms of surface roughness between the two hemispheres, bowlers can only make use of seam on the cricket ball (conventional swing).\n\nWith the old ball, bowlers can make use of both seam and surface roughness bias. Making use of both at the same time results in asymmetry opposite to conventional swing, better known as 'reverse' swing'.\"\n\nIn simple words, when the ball gets older and is worn out, it will start to swing in the opposite direction. Hence in this case, an outswinger's grip will tail into the batsman while an inswinger will move away from the batter.\n\nSo how did reverse swing evolve? What about origins of reverse swing?\n\nIt is difficult to trace the history of reverse swing, but the first recorded instance could be from the former Pakistan opener, Nazar Mohammad during the first half of the 20th century, recounting how bowlers who generally bowled outswing to right-handers would return for later spells and generate inswing in club cricket in Lahore. During the late 1960s and 1970s, Saleem 'Bobby' Altaf was believed to be a fine exponent of swing bowling with the old ball.\n\nAs per Wisden, Altaf found swing in difficult conditions in Australia in 1972-73. In the SCG Test, in particular, he shone brightly by bagging seven wickets (in the match) only for the visitors to crash to 106 all out in the second essay and lose by 52 runs.\n\nIn Australia, a few were beginning to understand the idea of exploring swing with the old ball. Alan Connolly, the Victorian, Australian and Middlesex pacer, was one of the early exponents of reverse swing. Connolly began his career as a tearaway but later worked on his fitness, shortened his run-up and turned into a smart operator.\n\nWhile playing Sheffield Shield games for Victoria in 1970s, the pacer alongside the team's wicketkeeper, Ray \"Slug\" Jordan, noticed that the old ball was moving around. After going through numerous trials, the pair decided to soak one side of the ball with sweat and saliva. The duo's theory was to weigh one half of the ball. It was later proved that 'weighting imbalance' by wetting one side of the ball doesn't have scientific basis attached to it but the pair of Jordan and Connolly envisaged something that many other pacers had no idea of.\n\nMax Walker, who bowled wrong footed and with a windmill action, learnt the art of reverse swing from his Victorian teammate, Connolly, in 1972-73, and used it to deadly effect in the Caribbean that season by bagging 26 Test scalps. Jeff Hammond, the South Australian pacer, also found swing with the old ball in that series. During mid and late 1970s, the legendary Dennis Lillee was another worthy exponent of the craft.\n\nThe Caribbean fast bowlers weren't to be left behind either. Eric Atkinson, the tall Barbados pacer, was a useful exponent of reverse swing way back in the late 1950s and 1960s. Atkinson, known for stamina and long spells, had a fondness for hair products and this caused some kind of suspicion among opposition teams that he was employing hair cream to gain more swing. When Hanif Mohammad cracked his epoch-making 337 in Barbados in the 1958 Test series versus Pakistan, he was wary about Atkinson using hair cream.\n\nIt turned out to be an interesting battle between them on the pitch. Incidentally, it wasn't just his swing that troubled Hanif as Atkinson also had the unusual habit of whistling during his run-up, which disturbed the Pakistan opener from time to time. The Barbados pacer could only pick up a couple of scalps in the second innings of that Test despite initially troubling Hanif. He then gave a glimpse of his ability to swing the old ball with an eight-wicket haul (in a match) in the Jamaica Test.\n\nThere was also a bizarre incident surrounding John Lever, the Essex pacer, when England toured India in 1976-77. Lever bagged seven scalps in the warm-up match versus North Zone and swung the ball prodigiously, and was subsequently selected for the Delhi Test.\n\nIn Delhi, Indian openers had made a solid start, in reply to England's 381, with the ball hardly moving in the air or off the seam. In the 11th over, the ball was changed as the umpires deemed it to be out of shape and Lever found appreciable swing to burst through the opposition's batting order. Within no time, India slid from 43 for no loss to 49 for 4. On the next day, Sunil Gavaskar was dislodged for 38 as Lever finished with astounding figures of 7 for 46.\n\nThe fascinating story of Lever generating considerable swing didn't stop there. In the third Test in Madras (now Chennai), after India had composed 262, the English pacers found it extremely difficult to bowl in excruciatingly hot and humid conditions at Cheapuk. Mike Selvey, who was a member of the squad, wrote in The Guardian: \"Chepauk in mid-January is a Turkish bath\". During the break, Willis and Lever were exhausted.\n\nAt that juncture, Lever is believed to have asked Bernard Thomas, a former international gymnast and the set-up's physio, for Vaseline. Lever also played football and had a tendency to use Vaseline on his forehead. With no Vaseline around, a 'Vaseline-impregnated rough gauze' was said to have been used by Lever, which eventually led to drama.\n\nLever later recalled in Wisden: \"I wore the gauze after lunch on the third day, when we had them seven down, but discarded it quite quickly as it didn't really work. I put it behind the stumps, but the umpire [Judah Reuben] picked it up and claimed it had come adrift while I was bowling. He obviously felt there was something underhand going on, and he reported it to Bishan Bedi, India's captain, and then to the Indian board, who leaked it to the press.\"\n\nThe umpires then sent a letter in addition to a piece of gauze to BCCI and noted: \"There was every possibility of this greasy substance being used along with the sweat on the ball to retain the shine.\" The ball also was sent for testing and traces of Vaseline was found. In the end, no action was taken. Bishan Singh Bedi, the Indian captain, though, continued to believe it was a case of 'ball tampering'.\n\nHe once said to Wisden Cricketer: \"If there had been an ICC in those days, a lot of people in the England camp might have lost their jobs.\" During the Madras Test, Lever was also greeted with a banner that read, \"cheater Lever go home\". Incidentally, he visited the stadium again in 2016 as a part of a group of cricket enthusiasts to watch the England versus India Test and was seated in the same stand.\n\n***\n\nUntil late 1970s, however, reverse swing was mostly an unknown art, practised by only a few, who in turn, had developed theories via trial and error methods. Some credit Farrukh Ahmed Khan, who played nine first class matches, as the one who holds the unofficial patent for reverse swing. There was also Saleem Mir, who played for Punjab Cricket Club, and could bowl reverse swing. However, Sarfraz Nawaz later noted in Peter Oborne's book - Wounded Tiger: A history of cricket in Pakistan: \"He [ Farrukh] did not bowl reverse swing but in-cutters. He did not know about reverse swing, or he would have bowled it himself.\"\n\nNawaz, who later went on to become one of the finest exponents of the craft instead said: \"One day, I shone one side of a very old ball and it swung. It was rough on both sides but I shone one side and it swung towards the shine - it should not have done this.\" And that was the game-changing moment in the sport's landscape. Nawaz regularly practised at the Mozang Link Cricket Club in Lahore and honed his skills on reversing the ball to take it to an elevated level.\n\nNawaz largely kept the craft a secret before he was said to have passed the formula to one Imran Khan. The story goes in a 50-over game versus the Windies at Berbice in 1976-77, Imran was perplexed by Nawaz's ability to swing the old ball. Nawaz later told Imran that he would give him insights about the craft in the nets. He kept his promise by displaying the art the very next day. His theory was to ensure the ball would get roughed up on one side and keep the other side weighty with spit and sweat.\n\nAs a result, the ball would swing towards the shiny side and impart late swing via speed. Nawaz noted that one could use dry tracks of Pakistan to good effect for reverse swing. He was also one of the first cricketers who would teach his bowling partners and fielders in relation to shining the ball.\n\nHis protege Imran turned out to be one of the greatest cricketers to play the game. He wasn't just a great fast bowler but developed his batting to such an extent that he started to bat at No.3. He was arguably Pakistan's finest captain, taking Pakistan to World Cup glory. He was also one of the greatest practitioners of reverse swing.\n\nWasim Akram extended the boundaries of what could be done with a leather ball. He could veer it early or late; in addition to it, he could seam and cut in and away at angles. Akram could expertly even impart swing and extract seam in one offering to befuddle the best. Just recollect the delivery he bowled to Rahul Dravid in Chennai in 1999.\n\nImran first gave a glimpse of his ability to reverse the old ball in the MCG Test in 1977 when he bagged a five-wicket haul in the second innings. By the time Pakistan bowled in the second innings, the conditions were such that it had resulted in 'lumps' coming out of the ball and Imran put up a fine show of reverse swing. The result was four victims dismissed via bowled or LBW. In the years to come, LBWs and bowleds would become a trademark mode of dismissal of Pakistan's fast bowlers.\n\nAt his peak, Imran terrorised batsmen with reverse swing at rapid pace. The former captain's greatest bowling performance perhaps came in the Karachi Test against their arch-rivals India in 1982. Trailing by 283 runs after the first innings, Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar had given India a semblance of respectability by propelling the visitors to 102 for 1. At that time of the innings, Imran produced a blistering spell of reverse swing as the tourists were reduced to 118 for 7 within no time.\n\nGavaskar was castled by the one that dipped in late while Mohinder Amarnath was trapped in front. But he reserved his best for Gundappa Viswanath. With the assistance of a strong breeze, he bowled a delivery that seemed to be pitching around the sixth stump line, but dipped suddenly and bent extremely late to remove the off-stump, with a bewildered Vishwanath shouldering arms. Imran snared an eight-wicket haul in the second innings as India were crushed by an innings and 86 runs. The all-rounder, who bagged an astonishing tally of 40 scalps in that series, by then had become a national icon and fans had started to compare his fast bowling with American fighter planes.![prv_1529567003.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUHQAD7DQjcjhfCC7ffa7V4HKxSrFLUxHaZdzCG2g8dhW/prv_1529567003.jpeg)",

      "body": "![images.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNNHYH3HHzU1FjVFHV3evwEyVVbMYunAbxYToU3UguG63/images.jpg)\nFor a few days after I had fucked Tom, my wonderful 50 something friend, I was caught up in a whole range of thoughts and emotions. \n\nShould I go ahead and let him fuck me too, or should I draw the line? If I let him would it mean that I really was gay and had been pretending to myself through my 3 years of marriage and before?\n\nI continued to feel guilty about Lisa, my wife, but I kept remembering that Tom had enjoyed a limited amount of sex with men all through his marriage until his wife had died. As far as he could tell she did not know about it and he did not think it had harmed their relationship. I had also seen on the internet that many men identified themselves as bisexual. So perhaps that was what I was.\n\nThe strange thing was that I still did not really have any interest in other men apart from Tom. Ok so I had had an encounter with an old guy in a public toilet but that was just anonymous sex. I did feel differently about Tom. He fulfilled my childhood and teen dreams about an older man (in those days it was mainly my school teachers) and when we kissed and held each other it was something really special.\n\nEventually I realised that I could not go on thinking in this way and I needed to concentrate on work and on my marriage which I was still determined was what I wanted. Then a rather odd thing happened. I think I have mentioned before that I had started tucking my shirt in my briefs, something that I had done in my school days but that I had stopped as I got older. For some reason it made me horny and once I found that Tom thought the same I decided I wanted to enjoy those feelings again. \n\nI thought I had managed to conceal this from Lisa but one day she came into the bedroom just as I was putting my trousers on. She said that she had noticed my waistband showing a few times.She wondered why I had suddenly started tucking my shirt in like that but she hadn't said anything about it. I said something about keeping some of my shirts neater and to my amazement she said that I should carry on doing it as she thought it looked rather sexy.\n\nI couldn't believe it and didn't know what to say but simply told her that I had got to like it too so would carry on doing it. That night instead of taking my shirt off first I took my trousers off and walked around the bedroom in my shirt and briefs as I was sorting clothes out for the next day. The problem was that I could feel myself getting hard and I was about to finish undressing when Lisa said:\n\n\"Come on over here, sexy, let me have a look at those bulging briefs!\"\n\nWhat could I do but go over to her as she laid down on the bed. I stood in front of her and she stroked me and ran her hands around inside the waistband. Then she suddenly pulled my cock out of the leg of the briefs, opened her nightdress and rubbed it against her breasts. We had had various types of foreplay in the past and had done something similar but somehow for me it was fantastic to do it with my shirt tucked in my briefs. We went on to fuck and, instead of getting naked as we usually did she stopped me taking my clothes off. She also said she would keep her panties on and that seemed to move the whole thing on to a new level for both of us. We had a great time.\n\nThe next day I was replaying all of this in the car going to work and knew more than ever that I loved Lisa and wanted to stay with her and start that family we had talked about. But then I began to think about Tom. We were due to meet in a couple of days and I nearly called him there and then to cancel. But something stopped me. The more I thought about it I knew that I still wanted to see him too and to my surprise I also knew that I wanted him to fuck me. I decided to do nothing to prepare myself but just to put myself in Tom's hands.\n\nSo on the due date I was ringing his door bell full of nervous excitement. I was taken aback when he opened the door to see him in a dressing gown half open revealing his shirt and boxer briefs underneath. \n\n\"Wow!\" I said, \"Somebody's keen.\"\n\n\"I've really missed you,\" he replied, \"and I can't wait to take those trousers off and have my wicked way with you.\" \n\nThis old fashioned expression made me remember the age gap between us but it just made me want him even more. We hurried up to the bedroom and stood by the bed kissing and stroking each other. He quickly undid my belt and undid my trousers and let them drop to the floor. Then he carefully removed my shoes and socks and pulled my trousers off. By now I was getting hard in my white briefs and he pushed his face against them licking and sucking the length of my cock and my balls through the fabric.\n\nI pulled him up quickly worrying that I would cum far too soon, and I took off his dressing gown and returned the favour. His briefs were damp with precum so I could tell he had been 'getting ready' before I arrived. Then he made me stand up and looked me in the eye before saying simply:\n\n\"Well?\"\n\nI leant over and kissed him on the lips before saying \"Yes please, fuck me Tom.\"\n\nAfter all my agonising I did not hesitate and let him take me over to the bed. He made my lie on my back just as he had done last time we met and I understood that he liked that position. I had hoped he would choose that as I wanted to look at him rather than have him behind me. He said we would take it slowly but added that it would hurt at first. But he assured me it would be worth it and I wouldn't look back once I had experienced the full joy of a cock inside me.\n\nSo we began and he used gel on first one finger and later two to ease his way into my tight but hungry hole. By the time two fingers had gone in part of the way I began to experience the pain he had talked about but he said, confidently, that he thought I was ready. He gently tugged on his cock and then slid the condom over it. He applied more gel to my hole and also to the condom and then started to push his cock gently in. Very soon I felt an almost excruciating pain and was ready to tell him to stop when he pulled out. He must have sensed how I was feeling. He assured me it would get better and once again began to enter me. This time he was even more gentle and as he pushed in further the pain came again but somehow was not so bad. As most of you will know, I'm sure, it wasn't long before I passed the point when pain was overtaken by pleasure and soon I was crying out:\n\n\"Oh yes, fuck me Tom, just keep fucking me.\"\n\nAnd he did. As he fucked me I pulled my cock out of my briefs and started wanking furiously until I couldn't stop myself shooting all over the outside of my briefs and the front of my shirt. He then reached down with his finger and took some my cum and put it in his mouth. Then he leant over and kissed me, pushing his cum-filled tongue in my mouth. I was still in total ecstasy and was waiting for him to cum inside me. But he had another idea. I remembered the first time we had sucked each other he had pulled out of my mouth and shot his load on my face. He asked if he could do it again. He said that he really liked seeing himself cum and even more if we could share the cum together afterwards.\n\nI think I would have been happy to do anything Tom asked me so of course I said yes. He quickly removed the condom and moved up so that his cock was over my face. I found myself opening my mouth ready to receive him, and after just a few strokes of his cock he spurted great dollops of his beautiful creamy spunk on to my face. I took some in my mouth and savoured it and then, when he had finished and I had licked him clean, we kissed and licked each other and shared it.\n\nWhen I finally lay back and started to come back to reality I realised I needed to get back to work very soon. My briefs and shirt still had cum on them but Tom assured me I could borrow a pair of his briefs and he would sponge my shirt clean. He asked me to look in the drawer and choose something to wear and I found a pair of black CK briefs which were similar to some I had. I hoped that Lisa wouldn't notice!\n\nAnd so I dressed and was ready to leave. I told him that I had had a wonderful time and could not wait to see him again. We made a provisional date and I kissed him and left him, still in his own cum-stained shirt and briefs. \n\nWould I ever tell Lisa about all this or would I live this separate life whilst remaining a devoted husband and hopefully father? I couldn't have answered that at that moment but all I knew was that I had started something I couldn't imagine finishing.",

      "body": "SICK and dying chickens have become the unintended casualties of a controversial protest that was supposed to save them.\n\nPolice said the protest group at a Sydney chicken farm ignored directions to leave the property and placed chickens in cages before fleeing, causing a number of chickens to be injured or killed as a result.\n\nNSW Hen Rescue planned the protest at a farm in the city’s west after reports from concerned members of the general public hens had been left with no food and no water, crammed in a shed surrounded by the dead and decomposing bodies of other animals.\n\nThey claimed thousands of laying hens housed in a free-range system were already dead and more were dying before they launched into action on Thursday concerned police and RSPCA weren’t doing enough.\n\nDistressing videos taken by the group as police arrested them show protesters cradling seriously ill hens that appeared to be on death’s door.\n\nThe protesters said they wanted to put the hens out of their misery but were stuck going through the arrest process with police.\nPolice charged 13 people with trespass and animal cruelty offences following the incident at a farm near Camden.\n\nThey allege just before midday the large group allegedly forced entry to the shed of the farm on Mowbray Road at Lakesland and threatened the owner with bolt cutters.\n\nPolice stopped them as they were leaving and also stopped a Toyota Hilux containing cages of chickens nearby.\n\nEight women, four men and a 17-year-old girl­ were arrested and taken to Narellan Police Station.\n\nThey were also charged with steal or kill with intent to steal a domestic animal or bird.\n\nOne of the men, aged 46, was also charged with assaulting police, common assault, and using an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence.\n\nThe result was far from what the group intended. They had initially demanded action be taken, the owner of the property prosecuted, the farming operation shut down, and that all hens were rescued and given medical attention.\n\nNSW Hen Rescue said that on June 10 an anonymous member of the public drove past the property in daylight and found more than 50 hens on the road.\n“Concerned for their wellbeing, they knocked on the property owner’s door, only to find they were not home,” the group shared on their Facebook page.\n\n“With the gate to the property open, the person attempted to guide the chickens back to the fenced-in free-range section, to what they thought was a safe and secure space.\n\n“Upon arrival, they were shocked to find hundreds of dead hens scattered outside the shed, and thousands of hens crammed together inside the shed.”\n\nThey said RSPCA was called and the representative was told to refer the matter to police but they waited four hours and there was no sign of them.\n\nMore than a week later they then received footage anonymously showing the “deplorable conditions inside and outside the shed”.\n\n“The footage shows hundreds of dead hens outside, with possibly thousands of dead bodies inside,” they said.\n\n“A significant number of hens are still alive living in filth with no access to food or water.”\n\nThey decided to take the matter into their own hands when they believed no action was being taken.![00b47ca01a18629e0bd6360c6feec773.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbfDC8sbWStZwySesghVEeoyj8vZDKivGueKfDfyhjMZa/00b47ca01a18629e0bd6360c6feec773.jpg)![0d6bcc2ff38af0375fe5ae5bd7dee2b6.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdFFpRaZi8x7xLC7TDk2cvHSWN42ZJ476gkqrHMQdWDoe/0d6bcc2ff38af0375fe5ae5bd7dee2b6.jpg)![0d6bcc2ff38af0375fe5ae5bd7dee2b6.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdFFpRaZi8x7xLC7TDk2cvHSWN42ZJ476gkqrHMQdWDoe/0d6bcc2ff38af0375fe5ae5bd7dee2b6.jpg)",
