Strange feelers, rich chords
A day before the Test Virendar Shewag had given some strange feelers. During a brief practice session his bat had hit the rich chords. A loud rat-tat-tat sound, similar to Staccato notes, was relayed across the ground.
He was bringing the bat down like a hammer swing and one of the hits cracked the lens of a prying cameraman. He snapped at the ball boys : "Couldn't you have made an attempt to stop it?" One of them retorted, "At the cost of splitting the finger into two? Why don't you field here instead?"
Could you please explain to me what the emboldened words mean in this context?

I don't understand what "strange feelers" means. By itself, in this context, I'd understand "feelers" to mean "try-outs with the bat". But I don't understand why they were "strange", especially when his practice session apparently went so well, so maybe this interpretation is wrong.
