Australia V. Sri Lanka: 1st ODI

i'm sure the ICC have encouraged umpires not to call no ball and instead just report them

my understanding is they can no longer be called by a field umpuire, they can only be reported by the match referee after the game

According to the rules of cricket, the umpire can call a no-ball if he deems the bowlers action breachers the laws of the game. Otherwise SL may need a 4 to win off the last ball and Brett Lee can stand there and deliver a baseball pitch at 175km/h.

omg, did any of you see the slow motion delivery from Murali
how poor was that ?

 

[waltzing Meninga]

I missed what was it like?

30 degrees

50 for Kat.

Hope he goes on with it and makes a big score.

they did a slow motion replay of dilshan
perfect, straight as an arrow

they should put murali and dilshan in slow motion side by side, the difference would be freaky

 

[Twizzle]

go Kat, pretty good footwork to the spinners

Katich seemed to show absolutely no enthusiasm to get back. He was dawdling.

 

[El Diablo]

good call Marto :roll:

if he hit, he was gone.

That Dilshan bloke is a superb all-round cricketer, handy batsman, good BOWLER, and from what I saw of him in NZ and now here an absolute class act fieldsman. Easily their best fieldsman by a country mile.

here's why they don't http://www.dailynews.lk/2003/10/11/spo04.html

interestingly it's from a Sri Lankan site

Katich runnout is a blessing in disguise, we have bigger hitters coming in and people that score much quicker!

 

[El Diablo]

Greig is back whinging :BDH:

 

[waltzing Meninga]

Thats a very good article. It's just a shame our governing body is so cowardly when it comes to the big issues of the game.

That doosra.... the less said the better. The Atlanta Braves will be calling, its similar to their starting pitchers slider, they might be able to use Murali as a relief pitcher.
