Lokomotiv's Proposed Changes to Cricket

[Lokomotiv]

How many times do you have to be told that an over is 6 balls?

Please read the Laws 22-1.
The Laws clearly states that 1 over is 6 or 8 balls.

No they don't: Law 22 (The over)

What's going on Lokomotiv? If you've been lying to us all this time some people are going to be very upset.

 

[Lokomotiv]

Oh?
I was reading the Japanese version here:
?????????? | ?????????
Is this Japanese version old? When was the Laws changed?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

All this time Loko was using the wrong info.

 

[sledger]

I think you should be introduced to our friend Dawood. You'd get on famously, I suspect.

 

[sledger]

All this time Loko was using the wrong info.

No he wasn't you berk, he's acting the fool as part of a wind up act. As if he can read Japanese ffs.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Isn't he from Japan though?

 

[sledger]

Isn't he from Japan though?

If he is I'll eat my hat.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

That's why he's always talking about baseball.

 

[sledger]

Actually, as someone who can actually read a bit of Japanese, I probably should have checked before making that comment.

Now that I have done so I can confirm that these Japanese "rules" do in fact say what he claims they do. Blimey.

Hat eating time.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

So who is this Dawood guy?

 

[sledger]

A damned good chap.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I just saw the thread.

 

[Lokomotiv]

Isn't he from Japan though?

I'm from Japan, and my mother tongue is Japanese.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, fair dos. As above, I've acknowledged that.

 

[Daemon]

Sledger is clearly an anime loving ****. Bet he goes to cosplays and ****. Worst ****.

Just now I contacted the Japan Cricket Association, and they confirmed that the Japanese translation on their website is an old version, and they are now preparing new translation of the current laws.
Sorry for making confusion.

"LAWS 22-1
ボールの数

試合前の合意に基づき、1オーバー6球もしくは8球で各ウィケットから交互に投球される。"

It does say an over is 6 (or 8) balls. (Depending on what was agreed upon before the match)

E: And now I see it has already been pointed out..........
