I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

[emjaycee]

We're the best team ever!! So much better without the new guy.

Yeah and how useless is that Lyon guy. Supposedly the best spin bowler in the world and couldn't get a wicket.

Looks like they've both played their last test. You can't argue with incredibly short term form.

 

[Happy MEel]

We’re shit again

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Worst team ever!!

 

[Bazal]

Not complaining but surely that's a no ball?

Nah

BOTD goes to the bowler, and he only has to have a millimetre behind. And his shoe can be in the air too. It was fine

It didn't look like there was anything on the ground behind the line. Are you saying any part of the shoe is ok, whether it's on the ground or not? Seems like something to exploit.

They changed the no ball rule, your foot can be in the air for a legit delivery ,... and on/over the line is ok too

Really long shoe laces pinned to the line? Like a dog run

I'm not sure that they change the rule. Ever since they switched to the front foot rule in 1963 this has been the case (otherwise every off-spinner would been no-balled 5 times an over).

 

[emjaycee]

The umpire will call a no ball if: The heel of the bowler's front foot lands on or in front of the popping crease (the front line of the batting crease). However, the front foot can be raised over the line as long as the heel does not go beyond the popping crease.

Haze is up there with Sivo for beast mode status

Correct.

Ravindra Jadeja for eg hasn't had his front foot on the ground since about 1998 cos of how he pivots. I believe he's never bowled a front foot no ball in test cricket

Then I have designed a new style of cricket shoe. I'm gonna be rich, suckers!!

It does look difficult to bowl in, however

I know it looks like the finished article but there's still room for further refinement. And as it isn't designed to add any structural support it could be made of marshmallow.

Just put some streamers off the back of the shoe.

 

[Eelogical]

Getting close to 9am in Pommieland. Thoughts on what the poms had for brekkie? Earl grey over a full English breakfast or straight on to a choked chicken?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Looks like Smith will have to go back to Shield and score 1000 runs.

 

[Bazal]

I have a half-bar right now

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I just had a look at what these cricket balls cost and FMD, over $100 per ball?! Botham's suggestion to use a tennis ball doesn't seem so silly now.
