webmeister posted:This except VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid after that loving test I was working in the US at the time, and there was an Indian guy in my team, which is great because we could talk cricket. Remember him being despondent about the match status and I said jokingly “don’t worry, Laxman could score, a double century and Dravid a century”. I had absolutely no idea that that is what they would do. It was pretty gratifying to wake up the next morning and look at the scorecard! I also remember travelling in Europe end of 1993, and talking to my family in South Africa occasionally over the payphone, and asking about the cricket, and hearing that Australia only needed 117 in the final innings to win, or something like that. Then we went to this place where we were skiing, and there were some Aussies there who had the results, and we’re not happy! I think we got them all out for 111.

I’ve only been checking the scores afterwards but the BBL seems especially dire this year.

This BBL caught is not out right.

Mister Chief posted:This BBL caught is not out right. Surely that shouldn't be a catch. For those who haven't seen it, Silk hits a long ball, Neser gets hands to it just inside the rope and throws it up in the air before going over the rope. His throw takes the ball several metres over the line and quite high. He then waits underneath it, well out of bounds, and then just before it comes down he does a little bunny hop, takes the ball with his feet off the ground and quickly lobs it forward before they touch the ground again, then goes back inside the rope to complete the catch. Surely you should have to initiate your jump while still in play for it to count. I can only assume the rules are that it's only a six if it touches a fielder while they are grounded out of play, but I mean, if that's the interpretation then what's to stop a fielder from running out bounds, hopping on the fence and leaping through the air to knock it back into play? Hell, a simpler example, he could have just started from outside the rope and jumped back in to catch it, would have made it easier to avoid going over. Edit: Apparently the rules require the fielder to be within the boundary when they first touch the ball, so I guess the fence-hopping option is out. Are players allowed to start outside the rope and leap back inside to get more favourable momentum? cmndstab fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Jan 1, 2023 |

Nah that's come up a few times in the last few years and while it's a stupid rule they've been consistent with it. I took my 4yo to the BBL tonight and he absolutely loved it with all the fireworks and sixes so apparently that's the target market.

The reason I said it was not out is I swear they changed the rules a few years ago. But I think that might have only been to eliminate what you said. Which is where a player could be standing outside the field of play and then jump to parry the ball back in. I thought and think that what Neser did shouldn't be allowed but apparently it is still.

They should make it that the last place you touched should have to be the field of play for it to be a catch. So parry up in the field of play. Step out. Step back in. Catch it. Is OK.

This is a very dumb hypothetical but if a person in the crowd was in the air and parried the ball back to a fielder who also happened to jump at the right time to knock it back before the boundary would it just be a dead ball for interference rather than a six because nobody ever touched the ground while handling the ball outside the field of play? Or is there like a if it touches a spectator it's a boundary rule?

Yeah, I think the rule is if the ball touches someone or something that isn't a fielder and is outside a boundary, that's it. Otherwise you'd have silly situations like if a batter hit a six into the upper deck and the fielding team trying to rules lawyer that it hadn't hit the ground yet, look how high it is! I know rugby league has a rule about people/objects outside the field of play counting as the "ground", so for instance when someone kicks for touch of a penalty it's out once someone in the grandstand catches it, even if it technically hasn't hit the ground.

Mister Chief posted:There's no rule saying dogs can't play cricket. Well actually ... "Laws of Cricket posted:1.2.1 Each captain shall nominate his/her players in writing to one of the umpires before the toss. So unless that dog was nominated by the captain before the toss, or had the consent of the opposing captain to be a substitute. there is indeed a rulr saying that dogs can't play cricket. Checkmate Athetits.

My dog loving loves cricket, which is weird since he’s lazy as gently caress and has never fetched a ball or stick in his life. A few flaws in his forward defence and he’s hopeless at leg spin, but he’s an absolute gun at backward point

7 and fox retained the broadcasting rights in Australia until 2031. BBL reduced from 61 to 43 games with 3 finals. Men's international white ball cricket still behind a paywall. Most troubling is David Warner is going to commentate on Fox.

Reduced BBL games is definitely the correct decision. Shame that ODIs are still essentially invisible to anyone without Kayo.

100 run partnership for the last wicket. I remember seeing an ad for this BBL season boasting about about the 61 games like it was a good thing.
