The recent death of Bobby Thomson, the guy that hit the 9th innings homer that won the Pennant for the NY Giants in 1951, brought out a surprising fact in the obituaries.
Thomson had admitted that the Giants had a low-tech system for stealing signals – the ones the catcher sends to his pitcher about what kind of pitch to come up with – way back in the early fifties.
That got me thinking.
As a guy who knows more about baseball than cricket, I’m wondering the following:
1. Does a Test wicketkeeper send a signal to the bowler, from behind the stumps, about what kind of ball to bowl to the batsman?
2. If so, are these signals decoded by the other side and relayed to the batsman?
3. If the answer is yes, what’s the popular technique?
