    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I should have put my LBW rule thread here. Other things I would change. In a drawn series, the away team gets the trophy. It is harder and rarer to win away so actually drawing away is a greater achievement than drawing at home. Umpire's call is such BS. It leaves it open to a corrupt...

    LBW law

    But what is the logic apart from encouraging batters to play a stroke?

    Cataloguing all Zing Bail fails

    I would be happy if the rules were changed such that lighting up the stumps or bails is equivalent to dislodging the bails.

    LBW law

    What is the logic of this rule apart from encouraging batters to play a stroke. If this rule were abolished, I could hardly believe batters are going to pad up to balls outside off thinking they are hit outside the line.

    LBW law

    You think it would be better if a batter could just stand in front of the stumps to block balls with immunity?

    LBW law

    You are assuming if it pitches outside leg, you can only hit it to the leg side. You are confusing where it pitches with where it passes the batter. A bowler could be left arm around to a batter, pitch in line with the stumps and it goes down leg. The only place to hit that is legside. That...

    LBW law

    Why? Do you want people using their pads to block the ball instead of their bat? What is the logic?

    LBW law

    Ruin cricket how? Why doesn't anyone explain their logic? If you explain it I will probably agree with you but nobody explains anything.

    LBW law

    What does op mean? Instead of just saying you like the current rule, please explain the rationale. Why does it matter where it pitches? Why does it matter if you were struck in line? If you could explain the rationale then maybe I would understand it and agree with you.

    LBW law

    Is anyone else unhappy about the LBW law? If it pitches outside leg, it can't be out. Why? I think the theory is that this is negative bowling. If Warne pitches outside leg and hits the top of off, how is that negative? If anything, you are encouraging negative pad play by having that...

    DRS

    Nothing is 100% accurate. Even tennis is within 3mm. At least it is impartial and I doubt a human is more accurate. I think you are confused on LBW. There are 3 elements. 1 Where did it pitch. 2 Did it strike in line. 3 Would it hit. Umpire's call should only apply to 3 because that is a...

    DRS

    Umpires can refer a runout to the third umpire. They should be able to refer things such as caught behind and bat pad. They shouldn't have to make a decision and force teams to review. Ideally umpires should be able to refer LBW but that takes a long time. Umpire's call is so bogus. It...

    *Official* Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2023

    Test cricket will be dominated by the big countries, but small countries should be able to compete in T20. Their good players will be playing in T20 leagues getting good practice.

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    If Australia level the series, India retain the trophy because they are the holders. That is so stupid. In a drawn series, the trophy should go to the away team. It is obviously harder to win away. That achievement deserves to be recognised. I've always said that, not just because Australia is...

    *Official* Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2023

    That's harsh. She batted well and was unlucky.
